This the right place? No? Ah sod it, here's the pitch anyway.

Right, would anyone happen to know any dice manufacturers who make D6 with radiation symbols on them (preferably without black facings)? I'm guessing that they may not be too uncommon a thing, but I don't know where to start as far as sourcing custom dice producers. I'm going for this option, as well ones that are directly based on the Fallout games seem to be a bother to net a hold of (some were released as part of the New Vegas collector's edition, but they were limited. Custom dice with Fallout symbols would catch my eye though, but I understand that manufacturers may avoid these in order to avoid being sued to death).

That and some generic round tokens marked with similar radiation symbols are something that I'm on the look out for. At the moment I'm considering just buying some poker chips and sticking on a printed off image, but some (non transparent) form of tokens with the symbol could be helpful for my games.

I'm looking for these to go along with a game which I play based off of the Fallout game series. I consider that games would look more interesting if I weren't just using generic dice and unrelated tokens youknow?

Try Litko and Chessex.

There's also this

Tah for those links, though I couldn't see any Chessex site as far as dice with symbols on them. Hmn, I suppose its more the dice I'm aiming at for the moment, as I totally forgot just how effective a few bottle caps could be as tokens too.

I heard the caps collecting sound when I saw your picture, Wyrmalla. I now have an urge to play Fallout 3.

Are those caps a real product or is that some fancy photoshopping?

$8 for ten caps - with free shipping. (As soon as I saw that picture I had to see if I could find them! )

Even cooler - Etsy has a Quantum lamp!



The Auld Grump

Hot damn! Thanks for helping me spend my money, TheAuldGrump!

Yeah, they're real and yes people sell them (though given the prices their charging I wouldn't bother). However I've picked up a hundred bottle caps to turn into Fallout ones myself (not that I'll be using all of those ...hopefully), which worked out as £2 (plus £2 shipping) for the lot, discounting printing costs (ie nout). As far as I can tell all I need to do is print off the logos, glue them on the tops of the bottle caps then weather the thing to hide any obvious gaps between the paper and the cap. Oh and paint the caps to match the colour of the logos too before I stick the paper on. I'll see about posting the results in my Fallout thread here when I can (I'm just hoping that the bloody things turn up before my game on Tuesday...).

Edit:

Looking at that ebay listing I can say that those are using the same method I'm planning (bar the weathering). Hell I think they may even be the same base caps too. Hell the money people can make for selling these things. Yeah, if everything works out I think I'll be making a tutorial (of course I haven't even made any myself, so this is me just assuming that the things won't go on fire and burn my house down at some point).

Ohh, new theme for my man cave!

As far as tokens go, I think I've now covered those with some home made bottle caps. This is one I painted up today (oh, such amazing painting quality...)



I'm still on the lookout for dice however, so any ideas for those would be appreciated.

Nice find!

The first two might be a bit too fancy for what I'm going for, but the third looks workable. I came across that when originally searching, but I can't tell if they're charging €2 per dice, or if that's for a couple. If its per dice then they're just not economical enough for me unfortunately (but I suppose I won't be needing huge amounts, so at least its a bearable sum). =/

Two eros each would be nuts. For that price, just put a custom order in with Chessex. They probably have a rad symbol on file. The Chessex website is dated and clunky, but give them a call or shoot them an email and they'll give you a quick turnaround and a nice product. If you need volume, then there's no reason to not order a custom set. Plus, Chessex has a huge selection of colors and styles of die.
