The Hexagon Dice Tower (and that's a natural roll) |
I placed an order with All Rolled Up, using my GM discount voucher for running at North Star Online and as part of the order I bought a dice tower. The last one that I had (from many years ago) slotted together and broke really easily, and I really liked the look of the 3D printed options that ARU are offering now. So I decided to make a Hexagon Matte Spiral Dice Tower mine (£22).
It's deceptively light, sturdy and well finished.
It's ribbed. |
The spiral the dice fall down has ribs to encourage them to rotate. I could (with a lot of tries) get them to land on the same face at the bottom, but if you just drop them, it's great.
I wondered about dice pools. So I dropped a full 15 dice set for Mutant Year Zero through it several times. On a hard surface (or one that has higher friction) you may want to raise the dice tower as dice can slow and block the exit. I found this happened on the carpet and to a lesser extent on a table with a vinyl protector.
Dice Pool friendly. The result of this roll is not character friendly. |
It's a nice object. Do you need it? No. Is it fun? Yes.
