Hey guys, we've decided to stick with this thread instead of a new one for our News thread, sorry for the switching back and forth

Two big things!

1. Beasts of War has featured the ModCube as a top holiday gift! Check out the article (also showing some other great gift ideas) here:

2. If you'd like to nominate the ModCube as one of the best gaming accessories for 2015, please check out their nominations post here!
http://www.beastsofwar.com/awards-2015/nominations/

It's been amazing the boost in orders we've gotten since the first article above went up yesterday, so if you have time to make a nomination for us we would really appreciate it

Thanks for the heads up - and done!

Done!

One nice use I found for ModCubes is supporting models partially on the standard 1" hill found at game stores. I switched away from Casino dice and hadn't really thought much about how to keep top heavy metals from falling over, but it turns out the 6-7 ModCubes I have are perfectly sized. I am sure RiTides would like to claim that as foresight on his part, but even if just happy coincidence, there it is!

Thanks, Alpharius and Wehrkind!

That is an interesting use for them, Wehr . "Off label", as it were!

I forget... are you creating a KOW set?

I'm looking to actually get two sets of cubes with a number set, because the game creator doesn't quite match up.

But one set of tokens with Wavering, Disordered, Bane chant, and a bunch of numbers would be awesome!

Polonius, I definitely want to create a KoW set! I will send you a PM asking about some of the details as that's always the hardest part, working out what should go in a set!

Done. Best of luck. Modcubes are definitely the best accessory I've gotten this year.

Just got my mod cubes in the mail today.

tried to nominate the MODcubes on Beast of Wars website, but kept getting an error code when I was submitting. I'll try from a different computer later tonight.

Will there be a "Beyond the Gates of Antares" set?

Voted! Also, I lurve my cubes!

Vote placed good luck.

Placed my nomination. Here's looking at you, kid.

Thanks so much guys!

I really think we'll get on the ballot with all the nominations we've received so we'll be asking for your "real votes" when that time comes

Back to getting out the Christmas orders out, we got 10 yesterday with some of them being 6 sets, so that adds up quickly! Hoping to have them all shipped out by tomorrow morning, and will be upgrading most domestic packages to Priority Mail this week to make sure they get there before the holidays.

FYI

modcubes make great cat toys too... apparently.

Wonder what happens if I put cat nip inside one of them?

You have to by another set from RiTides as this one vanishes under the sofa/stove/etc?

This is obviously the most likely outcome.

Poor cat, I don't think they'd be able to get them open

Don't worry about opening them, the vet will open the cat for you to get them back out.....you'll probably like to buy some more anyway though

Ditto here. Turns heads every time I break them out at the game store.

A vote for MOD CUBE is a vote for freedom, justice and all-around awesomeness!

I've done my part.

Thanks guys, you're amazing!

I just put out a "Go vote!" update on Kickstarter as well, and included a teaser image of the custom token service we'll be unveiling tomorrow . Here's that teaser:



More to come tomorrow!

I've cast my Vote...Die...MODcube.

Voted for Modcubes!

Good luck!

Voted for mod cubes.

I will eventually buy some. I've seen them at the store and I love the idea, especially for 40K or Halo: Fleet Battles.

We are happy to announce something people have been asking for since we first unveiled the product at AdeptiCon last year - custom token sets!

Beasts of War has released an article just minutes ago describing the service:
http://www.beastsofwar.com/modcube/modcube-launches-custom-game-cube-option/

And Talisman Island has a great writeup of the process, as they were our very first custom set!
http://www.talismanisland.com/?page_id=6270




Full instructions are on our own page here:
https://modcube.myshopify.com/pages/custom-sets

For folks who have been asking us for sets for games that aren't on offer yet, this is a great chance to get exactly what you want . Once you download all the files you want following the instructions at the link above, putting the first piece of art into place on the grid takes just seconds:



You can then just copy it over into however many grid spaces you want, then move to the next design! After you're finished, send it to us and we'll have your custom set cut and shipped within 1 week or will toss in a free cube per set to make up for it!

We think this adds a ton of utility to the product, so if you haven't voted in the Beasts of War poll for us yet, please take a second and vote at the link below if you love our stuff

Cheers!

Very cool!
