![]() ![]() ![]() Dispel has become one of the most respected names in dice, making creative, unique designs you can find nowhere else, and marrying it to top quality craftsmanship. In short: once the production stops, it stops for good, so if you want something you see here… now’s the time to get it!ĭispel Dice are slightly oversized, highly readable polyhedral dice, crafted in resin and left sharp-edged. But there is no guarantee any particular items will be available, and no additional product will be made beyond the fulfillment production run. We may have a small amount of overstock from the fulfillment, since it’s standard to produce more than necessary in case of defects, replacements and other potential issues, and we reserve the right to sell this overstock at conventions or on our website. However, once the fulfillment concludes, and the dice and Dice Vaults from the Elemental Collection are all made and shipped, none of these items will ever be produced again. There is no limit to the amount of items anyone can order, nor is there a limit to the amount of backers. The production will include all demand from the finalized pledge manager orders, as well as any pre-orders (if offered). I’ve ordered the three sets, feeling much more comfortable doing so, and will be posting them when they come in! And naturally, if Dispel decides to comment, I’ll update this–but radio silence so far.The Elemental Collection is being offered in this campaign, and will be produced in one continuous production run. That said, after seeing there was demand for this kind of thing, the factory representative then said in the thread that they were looking at developing more designs and would continue to produce their own dice, which I am very excited about! If anything good came of this, it’s that a new dice company has emerged to sell extremely interesting new product □ They’ve been selling on Wish under the name Ice Dice (pictured above), but I don’t know if they’ll be keeping that name. Realizing there would be no more orders coming from Dispel, and with COVID-19 halting all production, they decided to sell off the 2100 to recoup their costs. ![]() ![]() Notably, this means we have zero pictures of product from the actual factory that will be fulfilling the kickstarter. They refused the 2100 set order saying it was unauthorized, and then the factory got word that Dispel was in the process of setting up their own production, using the pictures they’d taken of their machines and process. Dispel’s owner then asked to tour their factory (a fairly common request for dice companies), but covertly took pictures of the process, and then became very hard to get ahold of. Dispel placed a further order for 2100 sets. The factory put a ton of time, resources, and effort into R&D to achieve these standards, thinking it a reasonable investment as Dispel had made all sorts of claims as to the amount of product they’d be ordering, and sent a couple of orders (50 and 600 sets respectively) to Dispel. Tl dr: According to the representative, Dispel came to this factory asking for quality previously unknown to commercial dice-making, basically handmade-level quality. People have ordered them and they’ve arrived gorgeous as the pictures, but I had refrained until now for ethical reasons.Ī representative from the factory just came forward on Facebook to tell their side of the story–Dispel themselves have been completely silent on the whole matter, by the way. There’s a lot to it, but the one we’re gonna talk about right now is the way Dispel’s designs have turned up on Wish for purchase long before their anticipated ship date of November 2020. So I’m not sure how closely people on here follow dice drama, but there has been no end of discourse over the Dispel Dice kickstarter since before it even started running. ![]()
