Im currently making a tower where you can store dice (rooms under the slopes, where you can put in the dice) /--------------- / / / SLOPE /----------------/ / / /----------------/ Like this
I like how simply you explained this. Im trying to surprise my party with a tower for crit confirmation. "ROLL YOUR FATE." This is going to make it that much easier to build. Thank you! :)
This video is actually really good and on par with Black Magic Craft's videos on the same subject!! I actually wanted to see a video of him doing a round tower a long time ago, so I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Also I LOVE the idea of using wax paper as a guide
Thank you I really appreciate that :) He was a big inspiration for me starting my channel. I would totally recommend parchment paper over wax after experimenting a bit more just fyi :)
Dude that looks awesome. I will most definitely be making (or trying to haha) one of these. Nothing worse than destroying the gaming area, pieces, figures, with a poorly aimed throw of 3 or 4 dice. Great job Rybo !!!!
Thanks bud! Glad you liked it. :) I always lose my dice under the table and spend a bit trying to find them. I figured this could help contain my fidgeting!
I have never once tried any crafts projects like this, but I've been interested in a dice tower and this looks really cool, maybe I should give it a go
I know this is one of your older videos, but incase no one has mentioned it, E6000 glue is amazing for this, and if you mix it with hot glue you still get the instant adhesion while the E6000 sets :) thanks for this awesome video btw
for a cleaner circle without a jig you can get a flat headed thumb tack and stick it through some tape sticky side down, stick that thumb tack to half the total diameter of the circle you want, pop on a cube on foam and the tack will act as a spindle to turn the foam really steadily.
Hmm I am having a hard time visualizing this, though I am sure that it would work fine. Do you have a pic of this happening? Anything to make circles easier haha. :)
@@Rybonator saw it on a crafting discord. It is just a small tack that can sit flush of the proxxon table with the point sticking up. you then tape it down so it wont move and stick foam on it, where you stick the foam is the center of the circle as you spin the piece through the hotwire.
No clip of the result with sound included kills me! I feel like having a satisfying clicking sound as the dice fall through is almost as important as how good it looks!
I have no idea how I ended up here and I have no use for a dice tower.... but this was freaking entertaining and i really like the way it turned out. i’m really into old castles in architecture so this had me fascinated the whole way through now i know how to make some kickass bricks to make little models of some of the castles i like thanks man. you just got yourself another sub.
I'm so sorry for missing this comment a while back! UA-cam messes with my comment notifications. Thank you for that! I am glad you like what I put out there, and thanks for subbing! Hopefully I keep making stuff that you enjoy. :)
Thanks to you I build my own ! I made a structure out of foam and then glue very thin bricks onto it. There is no gap that way. I finish with larges bricks but cut an angle on the edges to have no gaps at all.
I have plenty of Hard cardboard tubes (not flimsy cardboard), and this helps me design a rounded dice tower. I have made map and scroll cases out of them, but a dice tower was always on my list.
I'm about to DM for the second time for my friends whom I convinced to play with me last session and BOY do I really want to make all these for them cause I think they'd enjoy it so much... I'm completely obsessed with this channel now
Hello it is me macaroni is awesome and cool I wanted to thank you for liking a video a long time ago I just realize it's there and it gives me the encouragement to keep making video
Really useful that you list materials as you go along as well as give them in the description. I had gone to Lowe’s to try and find XPS foam but it wasn’t there, but the Home Depot had them
I love your design, one change I'd make is for the top layer, to make it look even more bashed up, where the dice fall in, I'd make some broken planks hanging down in.
This is just what I was looking for! I wanted to make a dice tower for my cousin's Christmas present this year and was at a loss on how to go about it. This is perfect. Thanks for the hard work.
This was posted 4 years ago, but in my head it was posted this morning just for me. That's an awesome dice tower you turned out! I always find it funny how simple it is to do great creative things with so little. There are far too many content creators out there who make things far more complex and inaccessible than they need to be. Videos like these have so much more value than just the product being showcased. I'm 100% sure this is the beginning of a UA-cam rabbit hole for me as I go check out your channel...
Nice build! Looks as good as anything you can buy. The only thing that would have made this better IMO is if you had made a spiral staircase on the interior to make the dice tumble.
I prefer the drop down style tumble over the staircase, purely from having had my dice stuck in the spirals before. BUT it would be way cooler if I had done that you are right :) Glad you like the build! Thanks :)
You don't need the black base coat. Use the modgepodge + your base color (grey) and it will be more than fine. Additionally I would selectively choose some places to put a lime green on, no tower like that is completely clear of moss.
I like using the black since I only use one coat of gray. It helps me find where I missed paint, and darken the whole thing up when only using one coat of the grey after. Just personal preference :) And yeah you totally can spruce it up however you like!
Kewl, I was thinking about trying something like this with wooden bricks and wood glue. Really like how you distress the bricks, nice touch. Haven't used one of those foam cutters since sculpture class in university. Great job
My friends and I decided we wanted to get into D&D all of us bought our own ice set and one of s got the game starter kit. I wanna make this now to surprise them.
This kind of reminds me of those projects we did in elementary school when we had to build stuff out of straws, pipe cleaners, tape/ glue, etc. I had an advantage compared to my peers because you mom was an architect. So when we had multiple days I would just ask my mom, if I didn’t already know. But we ALWAYS worked in groups and my good ideas were usually ignored and if we didn’t win if it was a competition I got to say “I Told You So” Because we are all petty 1st-5th graders.
I should make one of these in ceramic. It would be heavy, but it would sound so cool as the dice fell down it. I have done a tower and a small castle in a very similar block style to this, so it would be pretty easy to do.
@@Rybonator I was talking about sculpting it out of clay, firing the clay to stoneware, then glazing it. I developed a technique for making walls that look like tiny bricks and keeping them together through the heavy thermal cycles the firing the clay causes.
Man. Now I wanna make one with a cool dice set. I would have to get foam, learn more about resin, ect. But it would be fun cause I would feel accomplished.
I think it would be cool to make a dice tower that is based on a japanese pond. Like the base is a little resin koi pond and the tower bit is one of those bamboo fountains. Like the dice could roll down the fountain spout and into the bamboo tube where it is then dropped into the pond. Watching this video gave me the idea and I don’t think I could do it justice so maybe you could try it? I love your channel by the way 🥰
It would take more work,but you could also do this with a base and roll platforms built of the bricks as well. Or the roll platforms of the wood. One could also have the platforms and roof be more or less clean looking, as if they had been broken or the platforms are made of rotting wood that was once the various floors of the tower.
Cool, to make it perfect: make the bottom 'floor' also out of the wood popsicles. That way it looks like the bottom floor caved in :-) But really well done :-)
If you have the rounded edged metal dice, I used some to test this, it really still holds up quite well. Note sure how it would hold up over months/years, but I could say that for anything. But yeah if not, you can get some mini bricks of concrete or something for not too bad :)
Look at what you did! I hope you're happy cause now I want to build my own house like that! My I ask if you could put the measurements and supplies by writing for this project and the next ones, please? English is not my native language and I have a hard time trying to replicate. Not that I want to copy all the time but, you know, just getting a hang of it until I can create by myself. Anyways, good job pal!
I will make sure to add measurements to my next foam build :) Thank you by the way! Your English is perfectly fine. Best of luck in your creating! You got this my friend. :)
Lmao.....bc they are free when you get them from Starbucks.....ah, that was good stuff dude. Awesome tower of power..... I don't play D&D and I want to make one of these.
How about some 80's Saturday morning cartoon terrain, (example: Grey skull castle, Thundercats lair, or transformers base)? Your dice tower is wonderful. I am working on one myself.
I would suggest using a hardwood for the baffles, within your Dice Towers. The dice will bounce considerably more, off of a hardwood, than they ever will off of pink/blue insulation foam. The key to a Dice Tower truly randomizing die rolls, is for it to make the dice bounce, and spin, within it. Take a look at these two videos, to see why I am suggesting hardwood baffles, over foam: d4-d20 individual dice rolls (ua-cam.com/video/4cJtq16m6tI/v-deo.html); handful of dice through a hardwood tower (ua-cam.com/video/OEIym29zipw/v-deo.html). The harder the wood, the more reactive the dice are, as well. The wood used for the baffles, and Tower, in the videos, is Bloodwood, with a Janka hardness rating of 2,900! White Oak has a Janka hardness of 1,450; HIckory, used to make baseball bats, has a Janka hardness of 1,850. Just some information to make a judgement call by. As you can see in the first video, the d4's really spin, creating truly random results. No dropping/plopping going on inside the Bloodwood Tower! Cheers!
The mod podge covering the foam gives it a far harder surface than the foam, but I totally agree that the harder the better. Just making with what I have on hand :) Thanks for the info!
I made one with a pringles can, but instead of platforms I skewered through the can like a game of plinko cut the skewers flush with the outside then glued bricks to the can. My courtyard was pretty much the same as yours except I made it round instead of rectangular
I've been considering whether to use skewers or platforms like this with a Pringles can, but doesn't using skewers pretty much create two sides the dice could go down? Did you just cover the one side up?
I've never played a TTRPG in my life, but I'm already translating your tutorial to polymer clay, and it should work perfectly. I've never seen your videos - someone linked your channel when i asked about getting started making dice, aaaaand instead I'm watching this. And having a blast. Don't know if I'll find it on my own easily or not (i clicked on this too fast), but it's there a good video on your channel for a resin casting beginner to start?
This looks cool, but it would be better with some vines climbing up one side. And/or a tree growing out the side. With a raven on a branch. Needs a little more color. Maybe a tattered banner hanging from the front.
@@Rybonator There is a saying in my country: "Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen" Translation: "There never has been a Master falling from the skies" =D I will watch some more of your videos tonight =) Take care
I like that saying :) It would sound cooler if I could say it in ... German? (I think that's what you are speaking but I could be super wrong.) You have a great night :)
@@Rybonator You are absolutly right on the german part =) It does not sound all that cool though. Its more like what the older generations used to say :)
ive played exactly one session of dnd and now i need this
It only takes one :P
Haha same, I'm the dungeon master for the group and I'm a complete newbie as is everyone else
@@RhinoHand That makes it more fun sometimes anyway :)
@@Rybonator true, messing around with friends with a completely new way of being a geek-nerd hybrid is really fun
I understand the feeling, me and my group are meeting again on Saturday and we need this.
I have no need for one but I kinda want to make one now. Beautiful work!
Oh me neither, but they are super fun to have regardless haha. Thank you :)
Subtly force your friends into playing D&D (or some other dice-based game, hell even Monopoly would work) so you have an excuse
A dice storing Dice tower
And maybe a Dice tower made out of dice
Maybe a little drawer at the back, under the lowest randomizer ledge ?
Dice storing would be a good use for a thicker base. Either as a drawer or by making a trapdoor in the "courtyard".
Ohhhhh a dice tower made out of dice!?!?! get out of my dreams and into my hands!
Im currently making a tower where you can store dice (rooms under the slopes, where you can put in the dice)

Dice n DIY is my favorite tabletop RPG
Almost spring break, this might be a good project.

The harder the wood, the more reactive the dice are, as well. The wood used for the baffles, and Tower, in the videos, is Bloodwood, with a Janka hardness rating of 2,900! White Oak has a Janka hardness of 1,450; HIckory, used to make baseball bats, has a Janka hardness of 1,850. Just some information to make a judgement call by. As you can see in the first video, the d4's really spin, creating truly random results. No dropping/plopping going on inside the Bloodwood Tower! Cheers!
The mod podge covering the foam gives it a far harder surface than the foam, but I totally agree that the harder the better. Just making with what I have on hand :) Thanks for the info!
This is your daily dose of Recommendation
Make dice fetish more cool that ever before
I don't know that I can make a dice fetish COOL... but I can certainly exacerbate the problem ;)
@@Rybonator yeahahehe
Brilliant man! I’m making this as a birthday present and this tutorial is perfect. :-)
I kinda want to see you make a dungeon replica or some type of world-building piece to give a 3D feeling, as you did here.
If I had more time, I would make a whole dang village :)
I made one with a pringles can, but instead of platforms I skewered through the can like a game of plinko cut the skewers flush with the outside then glued bricks to the can. My courtyard was pretty much the same as yours except I made it round instead of rectangular
I've been considering whether to use skewers or platforms like this with a Pringles can, but doesn't using skewers pretty much create two sides the dice could go down? Did you just cover the one side up?
@@KayCustom I spiraled them and put one ramp at the bottom directing the dice outwards
@@franklajoie2507 thank you!
I've never played a TTRPG in my life, but I'm already translating your tutorial to polymer clay, and it should work perfectly. I've never seen your videos - someone linked your channel when i asked about getting started making dice, aaaaand instead I'm watching this. And having a blast. Don't know if I'll find it on my own easily or not (i clicked on this too fast), but it's there a good video on your channel for a resin casting beginner to start?
Your video style has yet to really change
Witch is a good thing
Turn down your exposure. The light is way too bright.
Whoooow there buuuudddy
It's not. At all.
Yeah this was with an old camera. Got it fixed in all my new vids :) Good to go now!
This looks great! Nicely made :)
Thank you! Glad you like it :)
This looks cool, but it would be better with some vines climbing up one side. And/or a tree growing out the side. With a raven on a branch. Needs a little more color.
Maybe a tattered banner hanging from the front.
Oh yeah, you can totally spruce this up however you would like :)
@@Rybonator waiting for the scifi version now.
It's on the list :)
Nice! =) how about some kind of Banner or flag? Maybe in green and gold to add some color ?
Thanks! :) I would do that, if I had any freehand paint skills whatsoever haha. But I like the idea!
@@Rybonator There is a saying in my country: "Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen"
Translation: "There never has been a Master falling from the skies" =D
I will watch some more of your videos tonight =) Take care
I like that saying :) It would sound cooler if I could say it in ... German? (I think that's what you are speaking but I could be super wrong.)
You have a great night :)
@@Rybonator You are absolutly right on the german part =) It does not sound all that cool though. Its more like what the older generations used to say :)
