Pretty cool trays. Not $99 cool, no way no how, but still pretty cool. The 'Axes' one is my favorite, though I'd prefer it without that wooden knob in the middle.  ???

Bison

Uh...no.  When the hell did geeks all become millionaires to afford such luxuries?  Clearly these kick starter folks have never visited the average game store and visited with their purported cliental.

Another thing I noticed is that the trays look too small to use.

I had the same thought.  They didn't look large enough to be practical for actual use.

Yeah I guess boxes of tissue and bottles of Aveno don't cost that much...

Well I finally scored a hard cover copy of Dungeon Crawl Classics.  Of course for those who know this particular RPG system, you know that you need an assortment of crazy dice: D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D10, D%10, D12, D14, D16, D20, D24 and D30.  AKA Zocchi dice.   Impact miniatures makes a complete set plus a large set with more odd D#s.  Good stuff for nerds to grok.

Bison

Surprisingly game science doesn't make a D30.

Seriously? Sent your shopping list; we'll see what we can find you at Origins.

One place had a baseball-size "dEverything" we can get you
