[@Rybonator]

Guys truly, Jean is one of the nicest most passionate guys I have met, and he deserves all the attention on this project. If you like it, consider backing the project :) More to come on being able to DIY some at home/on the channel! :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixels-dice/pixels-the-electronic-dice

[@dictatorchan5584]

I had to pause the video to go pledge. My mouth was hanging open in awe for to long for me to pass up these incredible dice.

[@Rybonator]

@@dictatorchan5584 Oh man, and the features just keep on coming in the vid :D All the compatibility and functionality has me droolin :)

[@bye1551]

Bro, those look amazing. I can't wait to get the guts, it'll be cool to have a different shell for each of my characters and have a custom light show!

[@glowfishin1]

1.4 MILLION RAISED AS OF NOW! I want a set as soon as android comes online!

[@J3rbski]

I love this, but I am a little concerned about the weight of the dice. How even is the weight with 'assumed' uneven weight on the inside of the die?

[@sircorneliuspeachesbrunswo4598]

The pure delight of two nat 20s back to back caught on camera is such an extreme mood! AHHHH I’m so stoked for these!

[@Rybonator]

Lol That was crazy happenstance to have been caught on camera :)

[@bryanfoster362]

Could that be because the bluetooth electronics are on the 1 causing it to be unbalanced?

[@ttiasrollo]

@@bryanfoster362 He both say and show in the video that they did testing to balance them correctly, so most likely no :)

[@Hentai_Akuma]

I would actually buy these, probably the only fancy set I would buy.

[@Rybonator]

Right? If you are gonna blow big money on dice, they might as well do something like this!

[@charliewilson3351]

Same

[@allisonc9644]

Unlike most "fancy" sets, these ones can be rolled like normal dice based on this video, and that alone makes me way more interested than any other fancy set I've seen (I have a couple of gemstone D20s but as display pieces only, they're too delicate to really use)

[@eeehhh982]

Looking into their kickstarter, I didn't realize that the hardware is opensource too! Means that you can essentially use the plans to custom build your own, whether you try and blow it up big or simplify it to being a set that says the numbers out loud. Mad respect to Jean!

[@Rybonator]

I was amazed by how much he allowed to be open source. Really pleased with that :)

[@raf.raf.]

They're gonna sell so much of these (and they deserve every sale, it's a great idea)

[@raf.raf.]

Also, the aurora one might be more readable if they (or the buyer) paint the numbers, or block the light on them somehow

[@Rybonator]

Oh absolutely. This is a game changer :)

[@HidForHG]

@@raf.raf. Maybe put a thin opaque coat over the numbers to slightly mute them? That's easily a future feature or option.

[@dammitspawk]

SMART DICE!!! Having rolls immediately send to a twitch bot would be so useful, I’m sure there are some clever coders out there that are already on it. Can’t wait to see what you do when you make customs with these electronics!!

[@Rybonator]

I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on the guts of these things :) It's gonna be a wonderful day when I can!

[@KGillis]

Apparently, they're already in talks with Roll20 and DNDBeyond to integrate.

[@juanitazavala2164]

Can they make square dice with 123456 only on them

[@SatrnOne]

@@juanitazavala2164 they have all variations of RP dice

[@samuelbenhardt4230]

On their website they say it's all open source too (Oops I commented 10 seconds before he said it in the vid)

This is the first time I've backed a dice kickstarter, the roll20 incorporation is really cool. The fact you are so hype over it really made me so excited too!

[@Rybonator]

That's awesome! I'm glad my enthusiasm was contagious :)

[@mrsodaxd2152]

5:59 You know what could be funny ? Everytime you get a nat 20 instead of saying the number it starts celebrating and when you get a 1 the dice starts laughing at you, it would be so hilarious

[@Rybonator]

They have a sad fanfare noise that you can use. It's like a sad trombone for if you get a 1 haha :)

[@Verity_Reigns]

Wait I can actually physically roll dice in my roll20 games without going against the rules keeping everyone honest? Well now I need them.

[@datonkallandor8687]

Well, except for the part where you can just set them down on the face you want and they'll report "You rolled X" via BT. This is still less "secure" than roll20, but if players can't trust each other to not cheat, they need a new group anyway.

[@Americanfury1]

@@datonkallandor8687 it prevents fudging which I think people are more likely to do. But doesn't prevent cheating. So if you trust your players a bit, but not completely it might be a good choice. Or if you are all on webcam then it would be about as secure.

Thank you for reviewing these as soon as I have the money to donate to the kickstarter I am going to try and get a players set for my visually impaired son. eh will absolutely love the functionality of these and these are ideal for him. I cant wait for him to see these he enjoys our gaming sessions and these will make it much easier for him to play. I think i am as excited for these as you were to get your hands on them. Id also love to take the time to thank you for your videos I work in a small school district and host a gamers club there where I will use a lot of your videos to make dice for the students as I am looking forward to getting into making dice and other items as well as teaching others of like interests in the area to. Thanks again for your videos and this one especially I have been looking for a project lit this for my son it is perfect and please thank you friend as well for developing these. I will defiantly be saving up to help fund these.

[@mmdrein]

Hey Rybonator, the onyx dice you reviewed and the onyx dice on their kickstarter page don't look the same. The ones in your video have holo glitter, but the onyx dice on the Pixels page don't. Is that just because of Jean's camera, or did you actually get a Midnight Sky d20 maybe? Or will the final onyx not look like the one you got?

[@Rybonator]

I think I got a trial set that might have been somewhat inbetween ideas. He made the 2 d20's that I got a WHILE back, so I'm sure their designs have changed and improved :) Base your purchases on what THEIR images look like, not mine :)

[@DragonGirl408]

[@libertybell5876]

Those are really cool

[@LookMyMoonEyes]

How cool is that!!!!! I NEED IT!!!

[@Rybonator]

I don't need it... I don't need it... I NEED IT :D

[@faemerothgoblinbane]

This looks so cool. One of the things I miss about playing online is that the neat physical dice I have don't get used, but this would change that. The Roll20 integration is fantastic and with the code being open source it's possible for others to make mods to add integration with other virtual tabletops, if the developers of the dice don't do that themselves.

[@eddiemate]

I wish I could stop seeing how beautiful these dice are... I don’t have the spare money to fund a full set, but I totally want it!

[@angeletteUK]

I’m in Love! I’m checking out the Kickstarter now but I can almost guarantee that I can not afford them. I loved the Aurora ones until they were rolled. I definitely think the black has the better reading ability. And since I play multiple campaigns, one with the original Rule set where for the majority of the game 1 is good and 20 is bad these would be awesome to customise them.
