I don’t need a dice tower, and I certainly shouldn’t splash the cash on one, but I look at Unnatural20Art and wonder whether this is my only chance to get something this impressive.
Project supporters with 3d printers can access the scans, but there are tiers for complete and painted towers and dice trays. You can see more on the pitch page.
There are four designs with matching dice trays and unpainted and painted options on the printed tiers, with the STL files also available. There’s the Kraken, the Horror, the Green Dragon and Sandworm.
Dani Hurley and Kara Payne as the two artists. They’ve answered my initial question; this Kickstarter is the first chance to grab the towers, plans for a retail release are being made, but you’re not likely to see them before the end of 2023.
Unnatural 20 Art unveils its largest project yet: fully hand sculpted and painted dice towers! Inspired by the monsters and horrors presented in fiction and RPGs with a distinctly unnatural twist, these functional art pieces will be the centerpiece of your gaming table. With four different designs to choose from, optional dice trays, and multiple DIY options, we have something for every player looking to make a statement at the table!
It’s a pledge of $11 to get one design’s STL file or $35 to get the set and stretch goals.
A resin-cast dice stray becomes the award, with worldwide shipping to be added but supported at the $70 tier.
A limited number of painted dice trays are available to backers at the $150 tier.
Unpainted dice towers, cast in resin, unlock at $240, and they’re not limited in number. How generous do supporters need to be before it makes sense for the indie studio to thank them with a painted dice tower? $480 generous.
I can only wince at how much work would go into casting and painting one of these impressive towers. It feels like a fair price but would anyone feel comfortable using the tower?
There are matching sets of towers and trays at $60, selling, and one at $2,400. There are only three at that top tier.
Unnatural20Art estimate March for the STLs, August for the unpainted dice resin casts and November for the painted ones.
