Very nice idea, I was wondering if you were going to come out with another dice rolling related project. I'll definately be picking it up when it comes out.

I can't help but notice on the hit location chart that there is no opportunity for a junk shot...

This looks great! I can't wait to have one or two at my gaming table!

As drewt333, I did not I need it, now I see I must have it

That is going to be a really awesome solution to our dice love to bounce of the table problem.

And I can keep the dice in it

Well, that's one x-mas present accounted for! Beautiful stuff!

mrcaptainpants · **Posted:** 08-30-2011, 10:41 PM

This thing is freaking gorgeous! Well, okay, except for the bloody eye thing...I'm with DeltaIce on that one! lol

But seriously, wow. Really nice work here, guys. The details and intricate textures are beautiful. And the editable cards thing is just...unexpectedly cool.

Wait, what happens when I know that I need it?

Zenguy · **Posted:** 08-30-2011, 11:37 PM

That is gorgeous and practical.

How well do the random location cards work in reality?
Is it truly random where the die end up?
Or is it easy to influence the outcome?

Akmor · **Posted:** 08-30-2011, 11:42 PM

I suppose it is easy to end up near the border, ending in shots on hands and feet more frequently than on the torso ?

Really great, this looks like real wood!
How big is the arena?

I'm going to want this thing for the card drawers alone. I have so many board games that have mulitple stacks of cards on the board in slippery card protector sleeves that constantly get knocked around. Great!

interesting idea... I have to wonder though if it would be easy to influence the outcome when tossing dice with fewer sides (d6s especially) onto the board...

K4g3ryu · **Posted:** 08-31-2011, 12:09 PM

I personally am curious about how the dice will roll in cardstock dice box. cant wait to give you guys my money to find out.

Thanks for the enthusiasm gang! We're pretty happy with how things turned out. Chris and I turned this out in record time because of a new sweet workflow. The funniest thing about this Roll Arena is that the early prototype was hashed out in 2002! I was trying to apply it to a game system all this time (which is still happening actually) but decided to release a new system generic version for everyone to take advantage of.

To answer some specifics:

* The arena itself is 8"X8"

* The Cards are 3.5"X2.5"

* Each individual card chamber/holder (there are 3) is approx 3.75" X 2.62"

* Throwing dice into cardstock actually has some great properties. There's a very minor amount of spring which adds to random roll potential and its a bit slidy as well. You might think you have dice throwing mastery but its harder than it looks.

* Coming up with individualized uses for the arena is priority #1 with this thing. You can make it mean what ever the heck you want it to mean.

* Active hit location is FANTASTIC fun!

Oh and here's a snippet from the instructions. We'll be making the complete instruction set available here shortly...

Very nice Denny, thank you and Chris for bringing it out as game Generic, is see many uses for me and my system. Really like the damage placement skin. Then again the Eyeball is my favorite of the skins.
