Making Forge Cleric Dice & Dice Box For My DM

[@Rybonator]

Who knew that the legendary Skillshare Transitions guy had a twin brother!... And a triplet?

[@scorpius1401]

Nice 🙂🙂🙂

[@chazbentley4284]

I would like to see what you could do with Druid: circle of wildfire? With the flame like essence with the nature roots

[@icouldntthinkofagoodname2553]

I’d like to see a champion fighter set because idk maybe you could make diorama with swords and trophies? Idk but these turned out so good

[@AngelicDirt]

... And all so charming and personable. :P

[@Rybonator]

@@icouldntthinkofagoodname2553 That was a plan I had for a while, but I needed a mold big enough. Now that I have one, maybe I can try it!

[@Verity_Reigns]

I love the continuing saga of the Skillshare guy.That cathedral-style dice box has got me thinking of ways to make a stained glass style dice box. Maybe like cold cast with black mica powder and try a transparent base with a few different color swirls? I don’t know but either way everything looks amazing as usual

[@Rybonator]

You could paint a pattern in the mold with some black resin, let it dry, and then fill in the other colors with mica powder for a pretty rad effect before pouring resin :D Also I'm glad that the skillshare guy bits aren't just funny to me xD

[@fableagain]

@@Rybonator wouldn't the first layer of resin pull off from the mold walls when you fill it with clear resin? Maybe there's a way to do this with inserts, though the only way I can think of would only work in a horizontal plane: make the "coloured glass" parts first, lay them down and pour in the resin that acts as the metal in stained glass. Oh, or maybe you could make a mold of just the metal part (like a frame), cure that first and then add the coloured parts? That way you wouldn't have to make inserts. Plus with inserts you need to line everything up perfectly and hope nothing shifts but that wouldn't be a problem with this second option.

[@7anime7drawer7]

Yess this is the good stuff I'd love to see a circle of stars druid dice set

[@Rybonator]

Oh it'd be really cool to make a FALLING STAR d20 somehow :D

[@Reubenaut]

@@Rybonator maybe find/ print some resin spikey stars to stick in the dice like the flowers from your Druid dice.

[@happypancakes6895]

The ultimate con. Make dice for the DM, make the dice weighted so it lands on 1 more often. Give dice to DM, never worry about getting hit. :) Proceed to panic when dice lands nat 20s.

[@AsteroidWrangler]

Inking with Leadbelcher works so well with these dice. I would have leaned towards Iron Warriors had I made them myself, since it's my personal favorite dark metal, but it tends to read more like carbon fiber. This really looks iron-y.

[@Rybonator]

Oh I honestly might have done Iron Warriors if I had any on hand. Having it be even darker my make this look a bit hellish though haha.

[@braddalrymple8615]

@@Rybonator Time after time as you've grown as a creator you have spoken more about inking colours and it has definitely proved to me that choosing the right colors of inks is as important as choosing the right colors for the risen

"Im making a series where I make gifts for my friends," ugh please,,, you're the most wholesome and sweet creator, I love these videos sm. even if its just you telling a joke storyline while making dice, it makes me so happy.

[@RulesandRulings]

I wonder how a cold cast of something like iron filings would look in this style, with electric blue wisps. A shocking artificer set.

[@Rybonator]

I did iron filings once, and they all sank to the bottom :/ But I might need to give it a shot again!

[@ChestersonJack]

@@tamagothchic If it’s a modern pencil, it’d likely be graphite, but your point still stands as that just may work!

[@RulesandRulings]

@@tamagothchic Graphite shavings might do the job nicely.

[@jon_franklin]

@@Rybonator if you could get them to rotate somehow whilst casting, that might disperse them? That would mean you couldn't use a pressure pot but there are ways to get no bubbles without one, they're just a bit finicky.

[@angriestjoker]

God the dice box looks like there’s pillars of fire going up the sides to make an inferno at the top, Moradin would be proud 👍🏼

[@Rybonator]

I FORGE ALL IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT FORGE KING :D

[@chessplayer6632]

If you ever do the sorcerer again I’d love to see what you could come up with for the clockwork soul, it seems like it’d be super cool

[@Rybonator]

Might combine that with artificer :D

[@NatePilgrim]

@@Rybonator You can buy a bag of cogs and gears for like 10 bucks, and put them inside the dice. Maybe even assemble a few in the bottom of the dicebox, to hint some machinery working there.

[@zombie_reagan]

an eldritch knight would be cool, a nice metallic silver cold casting for their armor, and a deep purple squiggle to represent their arcane powers

[@LookinGoodAnya]

I'm DYING! I just bought a ton of resin supplies because I've been binging your videos. I was surprised I hadn't seen anyone calling those trinket boxes "dice boxes" and I just successfully poured my first one thanks to some tips from your channel. It fits a set of dice so nicely, I could even squeeze in a few extra d6s with some finagling. It's great that you had the same idea. Beautiful box, the gold dusting really gives it something extra.

[@blazehammer192]

The inking changed everything! Love the looks of it

[@meepmeep1988]

Tbh I think red is such a good color cuz it can mean passion or love. And it's a Clearic, the healer. So sweet.

[@Rybonator]

Cleric's need passion and love too! :D

[@meepmeep1988]

@@Rybonator of course! I personally played a Cleric that acted like a bard lmao 😅

[@darkdrgon2136]

The flame and forge stuff looks awesome, my take on it would be a silver-gray powder and a blueish white for lightning bolts for a storm themed mage

[@cobiebentley9277]

I think cold casting is one of the best looks for dice. It adds such a nice flair on top of the colors you use in the dice.

[@Rybonator]

Thanks Semi :D I think wildfire druids could make such a cool looking set of dice!

When in need of “cool synbols” i like to use letters from the dwarvish alphabet, you can find them in chapt 4 of the 5e player’s handbook Why dwarvish specifically? Because they look the coolest and they’re easy for me to copy

[@calculatorjoe6847]

Don’t usually comment but I’ve recently discovered your channel and binged SOO many videos. I watched your complete guide to making sprue molds and to making cap molds, but it wasn’t super clear what the benefits and downsides of using each type of mold are. It seems like cap molds only need one side sanded which seems to make it easier, but most of your videos I’ve seen you use the sprue molds. I haven’t seen any videos on KZbin specifically talking about the differences and I’d love to see something like that. Wow long comment but keep up all you’re beautiful craftsmanship, thanks!

Thanks Kelsey :) That makes me happy to hear! And that's awesome! I bet your friends love your dice :D

[@Magikarp_king]

More dice! We demand dice!!!! These turned out super pretty I love the color choice and the paint on the numbers made them pop. I would love to see more transition dice one color to another since that's what I've been working on most recently. I'm trying to get a 3 color transition to work for one of my players. Going green to red to yellow like a tree transition through fall.

[@flautist666]

I did this when I first got into dice making. I’m in two campaigns so gave everyone character dice. I moved overseas for one campaign, and restrictions lifted enough that I was able to go home and play, and give everyone their dice in person. Was super satisfying

[@kaladin_nightsong]

I’ve just stumbled upon your channel these past few days and have gone on a mad binge. I probably won’t ever make dice myself, but it’s fascinating to watch regardless

[@Rybonator]

That's OK Anna! I binge Peter Brown like crazy, even though I will never do the woodworking he does. I love it regardless :) I'm glad you like what I do!

[@elysapethsmith8505]

I love the way those dice and dice box turned out! I use this same technique for my resin jewelry all the time.

[@TheoreticalLaw]

I love your videos, even if you don't show off new techniques! I've been trying out a couple of techniques: painting molds with acrylic paint before pouring and mixing mica powder with a bit of rubbing alcohol so that you can paint the mica onto your molds. If you're looking for new things to do with dice, you should give those a try!

[@LucretiaPearl]

LOL, the ongoing SkillShare guy bit is fantastic!!! And you are so right, the inking of the numbers just adds the perfect finishing touch for a hot iron dice.

[@jibbelynibblets2905]

A cool idea for dice would be to put shattered mirror or small mirror pieces in a clear dice I think this has some potential to look very nice!

[@Rybonator]

I think I've seen something like that before, but you are totally right! A Broken mirror dice would be awesome :D

[@KatAlystsStage]

These are absolutely stunning! I agree with that whole columns thing, the pillars of light in gold are so gorgeous! Mica powder makes everything better. If I ever make something like this, I may have to use that technique. Oh gosh, what class would I do like this? I'm not entirely sure. I haven't been in a lot of campaigns, and most of them get cancelled, but for one of them, I played a cleric who was a triton named Tito Devon. I can totally see the pillar look being turned into watery geysers in his shade of blue, maybe with some bubbles or pearls thrown in to look like his floating prayer bead weapon. And the ectoplasm look lends itself very well to a water-bending vibe, which I really dig.

[@anonpal8998]

I just bought the dice box mold the day before you uploaded this. Soo gonna use the cold casting method on mine. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Stef_T-G]

I really love this!!! I think you will have a best result using a fluffy brush (like make-up brush (elf is a really affordable brand)) to place it in your mold.

[@geminidragon33]

Oh lawsy - if Rybomom comes on the scene, we're all in trouble! 😆 It would be awesome to see, though, just sayin'. I love the random effects of the dice and dice box - sparkle and swirl and the impression of banked embers. Tis groovy! I need to get motivated, as my pressure pot is just sitting in the garage, but being a fan of cool colors, I'd go blue and silver, with a hint of some unexpected bright color, like maybe hot pink. 😆 (Ooo, lemme also say that once I get my finances back on track I'll be back supporting your Patreon. 😁)

[@theresadettloff6196]

You should consider double-inking dice: where you ink one color on transparent or semitransparent dice, so that color will show through and bounce around, and then a second layer on top to be visible from the outside. I had some transparent rainbowy dice that were inked silver, which i inked dark blue on too of that. It was very shimmery inside and still totally legible since there wasnt the numbers on the opposite side competing with the top faces

[@ivygilliam5168]

That dice box looks cool as heck!

[@Rybonator]

Thanks Ivy :D Glad you like it

[@derek2297]

Those are stunning. I am gonna attempt a warlock set with dark red and purple cold casting and a black swirl. I can only hope they look half as good as yours

[@backuppixiedust1115]

I still owe my brother a homemade dice set, and his main dnd character happens to be a lightning cleric, so if I use this I’d probably just swap the red with a sky blue. I mean, my original plan was to slap some blue color shift paint on some moss and put it in some glittery translucent dice so it looks like lightning, but this looks like fun too!

[@niceslugo]

Love the colour combo. Reminded me of blood plasma a little before it was inked. Very cool!

[@seanibarra1242]

I think the hexagonal box would look nice with an icy blue for a snowflake theme.

[@ChestersonJack]

:O This is so convenient as in my new campaign, a deity of community and permanence is a huge part of the setting, and her whole thing is giving divine protection to institutions and infrastructure so that they last. Forge clerics are a huge part of her following because a part of her followers duties are basically the city’s safety inspectors and construction supervisors. This would be great for all the civic worker NPCs

[@Rybonator]

Oh man, this would be AWESOME for that setting :D

Hey I'm getting into dice making, and I was watching some of your tutorials and am very exited to start making some. I've been watching you for a while, but I'm now finally taking action. I was just wondering since I don't have a pressure pot/vacuum chamber what would be the best silicone for making some? Since you said I shouldn't use clear resin what would it look like if I did? And finally if I wanted to make a full die of food, would I have to sacrifice a surface or could I make one like a sprue mold. Sorry I have to try and reach out in the comments, but nothing I was looking up answered my questions like you would know.

[@technoraptor7778]

Could you do more inking tutorials? I would love to see more takes on like a two tone ink or trying effects inside the numbers (like a lightning effect or wispy accents). Maybe just some different outer edge coloring maybe. Just another layer to already fabulous dice.

[@Rybonator]

I can add that on my list of to-do's :) I'll have to think of some new things to try out...

[@Redkazyn]

Just a couple ideas: Do you have glow in the dark inks? Maybe some inner resin wisps with number outlines. Redo the lightning dice (I like those. Did you have a link to them or the molds?) with some inner lightning bolts and static effect inking. Finally, maybe some like…bedrock dice (Cracked effects and then like a two tone inking?)

[@Redkazyn]

Also, I guess another request. Have you found a good way to do…explosion clouds for lack of a better term? Maybe just clouds in general? I just started my dice making adventure (thank you for that by the way! Using a lot of your tips to start out. Currently have some cap molds setting up in tin based as my platinum based never did) and I have tons of ideas for dice. One was a sunset theme with clouds and I haven’t found a good video on it. Would you use that putty stuff you used for the waves for the wave dice?

I have a question. I recently started making dice, unfortunately I found the wish molds before seeing your videos. I do not plan on selling, so I figure I can learn from them like you said. So here is the question, I have made 2 complete sets and 2 partial sets with these molds. All turned out okay, minus the mistakes (aka the partials) my 5th set came out weird. 1 complete set and the partials used art n glo, the other complete set and the weird set used unokki resin. Best I can describe the weird set is that they looked hammered. I used the same molds, cleaned them, let them dry for a few days, both sets used brushed mica powder, and both sets were pressure potted at 40 psi for 18 hours. I dunno why this happened. Do you have any ideas? I generally follow your methods, and it worked several times. I do not have Instagram or twitter, so this is my best medium
