Buy the Wingsong Dice Fat Pack and save over 50 percent!
A group of Dungeon & Dragons fans approached the staff at the Wingsong Dojo recently with a request. They had bought our basic Wingsong Dice and were very pleased with it. However, they told us, they needed several other shaped dice to play their D & D game. Could we make them?
Honestly, I wasn't sure we could. But we had a staff meeting (which included several frowns, a little shaking in trepidation, and several enthusiastic cheers) and we decided to give it the old college try. As an aside, what the heck IS a college try, and why is it always OLD?
Anyway, it did take us longer than usual to conjure our first D & D die. But when we unveiled it to the leader of the group that had approached us he was very happy and asked us to follow up with the whole set.
This package contains the Wingsong Dice D12, a 12 sided dodecahedron die. Actually, you get FIVE versions of the die (red, white, teal, gold, and blue-green).
We also made a special Wingsong Dice Yard - Fantasy. It has a texture changer installed and is preloaded with the masimum 22 images. You can delete some of these images and install your own by opening the CONTENT TAB, DELETING any of the preinstalled images, and DRAGGING your own images from your inventory into the CONTENT LAB. They will load into your yard automatically.
Each player must own his or her own die because you can't pick up and toss anyone else's dice.
After much research we decided to go with a one prim sculpty version rather than a multi-prim version. We did test out a couple of multi prim prototypes but found them difficult to read and somewhat heavy, and without getting a micromeasuring tape we could not insure complete randomness.
Special thanks to Night Mistress (nightmistress) who contributed immeasurably to the success of this project!
Here's how you use your Wingsong Dice D12:
1 - REZ your die onto the the Wingsong Dice Yard.
2 - GRAB and HOLD your die for just a split second and then toss it gently across the yard.
3 - Hear the excellent rolling of the dice sound.
4 - See your randomly played number (0 - 12)in the local chat window. When you occasionally roll a zero just recast.
And that's it! You don't have to slam the dice. If you do it will bounce over the fence. If you bounce it too hard it might bounce out of range and get lost in the bushes. NOT TO WORRY! We installed a really excellent script which causes your die to self destruct if it gets too far away from you. This prevents the possibility of cluttering up the world with wayward dice.
Just be sure to save any die you modify before playing with it!
Yes. These dice and the dice yard are COPY/MOD. So make all the D12's you want, all the yards you want, and have a BALL! We're also including a FREE Wingsong Modify Box, a great little tutorial for folks with little experience with the EDIT tool.

As a footnote, as those of us who worked on this project explored the world of Platonic Solids, including excursions into Plato, Euclid, and Kepler, and the notion of the Five Elements of the cosmos (earth, wind, fire, water, and the universe) we found ourselves immersed in a trance-like world of mystical treasures.
