Making Barbarian Dice Sets | Blood & Iron

In this video, I make 2 sets of dice for some of the Barbarian subclasses in Dungeons and Dragons using Blood & Iron!
Warning, this video DOES contain minor amounts of blood. View at your own discretion. Proper safety precautions and handling was enforced throughout the entirety of the experiment and disposal of any possible waste was done at the proper locations.

I like to try and make dice that nobody else has tried yet. AND UNLESS I AM SUPER WRONG, I truly don't think anyone has made the blood dice from this video. I also wanted to think of something pretty METAL for the berserker barbarian subclass, and I couldn't think of anything more metal than... metal.
I hope that you enjoyed this video. It is not titled as a How To video like the rest of my videos, as I don't want people trying this. I just hope you found it informational and educational at the very least. Let me know what class you might want to see in the next class video in the comments!

The blood dice are completely safe IMO (3rd year collage of medicine) I get this comment won't change anyone's mind (probs won't be seen) but just wanted that out there. The reason used needles are scary are mostly Hep-C and HIV, for those to be spread two people's blood cells would need to come into contact. In this example that would involve cracking the dice open and using it to break open the skin of someone else within 7 hours of drawing the blood. (Assuming the heat from the resin isn't enough to kill anything) Even if you (blood donor) had HIV/Hep c/Hep B/ EB a coat of superglue/resin over the top of the dice would remove all risk, as would washing them in disinfectant/ rubbing alcohol. If anyone is still paranoid use pig blood. If you are STILL paranoid boil it first (Pigs can get Hep) then seek metal help

(Implies biochemical reaction rather than a pathogenic one) From a (basic) contamination perspective it doesn't matter if its in the blood or is the blood you should still follow the same precautions.

[@PixelBytesPixelArtist]

1. use dried blood which can be purchased from a butcher, it will have less moisture so you can put more into your dice, like a pigment 2. temperature sterilize the dice in boiling water 3. glaze in additional clear resin to seal in the blood resin, or put a bit of clean resin in the mold to coat the inside and set it first, then put in the blood resin

[@Rybonator]

All great ideas! Probably would have done #3, or sprayed it with a glossy varnish if I really wanted to USE these. :)

[@masteroffate2692]

A first run slush cast in would probably have been a really good idea. Then maybe even the boil for good measure. I'm not positive, but it seems like a varnish would wear off over time.

[@callmeray7705]

Honestly, still overkill, probs be fine as is (left a full comment). Also wanted to say in case it isn't obvious you can get "wet"/ normal blood from butchers

[@lukewithann7256]

lol "pig"ment

[@joshuaobrien6137]

You could also just put it under a UV/blacklight for a few minutes which would kill off not just any pathogens on the outside but since its clear, also on the inside. I don't think its as much of a hazard really if you just take some small percautions.

Since so many people are saying why are you being so cautious: he's a youtuber. If he didn't keep adding warnings this is what could happen: If a 6 year old watched this and decided oh im gonna stab myself for blood dice or whatever, he could be liable in a lawsuit. If someone used a dirty Lancet/ used Lancet and got infected, he could be liable. If someone made these in a non sterile environment and someone else got their blood into another person he could be liable. To constantly reiterate do not use these dice, do not do what I did, I'm working in a protected space ect, this keeps him from a lawsuit! Plus rybo is a chill guy and probably wants to keep people safe and healthy. It's him being responsible

[@monomakes]

Could he _really_ be liable though? Perhaps in the US, but KZbin/ this channel is viewable in other countries, and that kind of thing doesn't work everywhere. Sure, it's best to err on the side of caution, but I don't think this channel/ content is specifically aimed at children. Does Jake Paul get sued when his legion of tween fans emulate him and do stupid shit?

@@monomakes there was kinda recently a youtuber who got in a lot of legal trouble for some kids following a video, changing what she did (if I remember, the youtuber used a candle, they used lighter fluid for fire, but I could be wrong) aand they accidentally made a bomb.

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

I'm curious if the blood dice will darken over time. In theory, only the outside should oxidize the blood, but plenty of air was mixed in too.

[@cursedseagullgames]

If you had added anymore blood they may not have set right, given that blood is mostly water. I think those dice would have been safe to handle though given the resin incasing/ mixing with it. Watch for any spots that turn black on those dice as that would be blood exposed to the air (and who knows would maybe make it look more metal idk?)

[@IQzminus2]

My guess is that just the heat from the resin curing would probably be enough to kill off potential bacteria, parasites or viruses that would be the potential risk. It depends on how hot the resin gets and for how long the resin is hot while it cures though. But yeah wouldn't recommend anyone to make something to use before they know for certain its safe. But it's probably entirely possible to make blood dice that is safe.

[@Rybonator]

True! That was actually my main question when making these- is it even possible due to the water content?

[@cursedseagullgames]

@@Rybonator Ye, least you know it would take more than 9 drops of blood to throw off resin curing now though, least with that amount of resin anyhow.

[@cursedseagullgames]

@@IQzminus2 I hadn't thought about the resin heating up, and you're right if it got hot enough it could be safe to handle them. When in doubt an extra resin layer or a sealant could keep it containted though.

What!? It's just blood. Also, how could cured resin infect someone? Even if you had something infectious, I don't see the risk. They look good though.

[@KaienShirayuki]

Backing you up on it. Especially, if the "donor" is clear. I'm a regular blood donor myself, so I know I'm clear of any blood-transmitting deases (and I rarely go outside, especially now), and I would use my blood with confidence while making such dice. I think coating such dice in thin outside layer of resin would put everyone at ease. I wouldnt mind handling them, even without an outside coat, as long as I know who the donor is. As for selling such...well I think it would put you in legal trouble. I'm not sure.

[@monomakes]

@@KaienShirayuki yea, some kind of lacquer or varnish would be perfect to seal them, then these magical-horrors could be used instead of locked up in a glass container like they were radioactive!

He probably doesn't have to take it as seriously as he is. He's playing it way on the safe side. Not a bad thing, but I think you could wipe them down in alcohol and have safe dice.

Rye I cannot believe your channel isn't bigger you make amazing content and dice please never stop 💜

[@andsuor]

For cold casting, you should probably use metal powder (aluminum, brass etc), which is much finer than iron filings. First coat the inside of the mold with the powder, then add the powder to the resin so that it is about 1/3 of the total volume (for instance 1 part A, 1 part B, 1 part metal powder). It is also common to use black resin, so that the metal color looks more natural. When finished, the part can be buffed with steel wool to make it shine like real metal. It can even be polished to a fairly high shine. Iron powder tends to look like very dark metal, while aluminum looks more silvery.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

Hey Ry, try your hand at making some wooden dice! I know I can't be the only one who tangentially found you through DIY Woodworking stuff. I can think of a few ways to try. Obviously carving them (or shaping them with other tools) out of actual pieces of scrap wood or try casting them from wood filler (probably best to use a smush mold) or finally (and probably most reasonably) mixing sawdust with resin. Trying the sawdust thing would probably be easiest with the fine dust from the dust collector on a sander.

[@QuarionGalanodel]

I think the sawdust is probably the best way to go but there are a few things you want to be careful of. 1. You want to make sure that it's fairly consistent particle size or the dice could be unbalanced 2. You probably want fairly fine particles so it might be a good idea to sift them like flour 3. Make sure that the sawdust is totally dried out

[@CeeJayThe13th]

@@QuarionGalanodel my random orbit sander basically already produces a fine powder! The other things you say make a lot of sense. Except I don't think if you were using sawdust you could ever get pieces big enough to really throw off the balance unless you accidentally got chunks in there from somewhere though.

[@heartofdawnlight]

I made a Dice set for my friend that plays a Zealot cleric that worships a god of blood/death. I did more of a blood splatter on the external of the dice but it came out looking a lot like dried blood. I used citedel paints - Blood for the blood gods - for base blood splatter + a couple of globs to make it look congealed. - Evil suns scarlett (any light red / orange-ish red would work here) - laid a small bit where the splatters were a bit thinner, it looks like watered down blood, but when blood is spread very thin it can look like that. Almost like when your cleaning up a nose bleed off of a sink or porcelain. - If you have An iron oxide paint i'd recommend also doing a little touch up / detailing with that as well, as when blood dries, you can see a bit of that color in it. I however did not have an iron oxide color, but i did have a gunmetal alcohol ink which i mixed a little bit with blood for the blood god. The "blood" on the dice look damn close to being real, and thats coming from a guy who's had chronic nose bleeds his whole life.

I get that you'll likely never make blood dice again, but if they were something you wanted to use, you could make a set of blanks with your blood and then use them as inserts in a standard set. That way you can feel safe with that layer of protection!

[@piebeisel]

Rybo, you did everything right for your cold casting. Your problems come in with the fillings that you picked. For the best results you want a super fine power for your coating; think lustre dust or pigment powder. The iron fillings were just too large and were pushed around by the resin when you cast. A fine dust can be applied with a brush to the walls of your mold and depending on your resin might not even need to be mixed into the pot. If you do mix it in it works like a pigment and will float suspended in the resin. The large filings are a just little too heavy and sink to the bottom. Totally not to say yours came out poorly, I like the look of the sedimentary-like iron that you got. With a good cold cast you can even buff or patina the exterior! You just have to be careful not to overdo it since it is a really fine layer of coating on the outside that can be buffed off if you're not watching. Great job man, keep up the awesome videos!

Nice, you got around to trying out something for the Barbarian set. Shame it turned out so weird/wonky/unusable, but the results are stunning. Keep up the great work, hope to see more creative ideas in the future.

Awesome dice! For cold casting you wanna get the finest iron powder you can get your hands on. It will coat the mold better and stay suspended in the resin better

[@mcb1180]

Yes, I'd absolutely be interested in seeing you try and turn them into jewelry or keychains or something...

[@War-Jac]

I want to see the blood vial set fully inked if it'd display only especially! Idea for a "Safe for use" set: 1: Take some playdoh (or any silicone safe clay medium) and use it to make some 'droplets' and 'whisps' of blood (Obviously these need to be big enough to see and take resin well) 2: Put them on tooth picks then attach the tooth picks to a wooden dowel to make a casting tree/tray mold. (The tree would allow for a cup but the tray would require a sacrificial trough or hell just use an ice cube tray.) 3: Cast the tree/tray in silicone and it'll be ready to use

Those are so metal! I would definitely put a varnish on them to play with them

[@adamkruck]

For cold casting, the metal you use can't be granular or like glitter sized, it has to be ground to an absolute powder. Even then it will sink to some degree and throw off the weight of the die. But powdered bronze does stick really well to the insides of a mold so you can cast with opaque black resin and just have the surface be metallic. I've done it many times and it looks great. Just gotta do some touch-up with the sprue.

I do wonder how it'd look if you filled up the molds halfway with clear resin and then dropped some blood in and then filled them up the rest of the way. Or even fill then up fully and then drop the blood in. Just get a bright spot/ball/splash of red in the center of the dice. It'd also make them safe because the outside of the die is just resin.

Iron and blood. So you basicly made Bismarck dice. Lol another great video man! Thanks for literally pouring your blood into this project.

[@bubsjr1]

I would seriously love to see a paladin one. You told me a while back you were working on a set but never put one up or maybe i missed it.

[@amysmosquito]

Ever since i saw the magic 8 balls have dice inside with the fortune printed, i've thought about making magic ball dice with, well numbers! I haven't got the equipment or the passion to take on this project, but maybe you do? you could customize the ball color, liquid inside, and dice color! these would be great for people who lose dice off the table, although they would be bulky.

I bought some really cheap dice that looked amazing to use in keychains. Heated up a rod, made a dent and drilled a hole for an eyelet. The d 12 is my favorite one, it is really cool.

[@jennythomas6455]

MY NAME IS ON THE LIST OF PATRONS NOW MWAHAHAHAHA. Those blood dice were amazing dude, and I'd rock TF out of those iron ones as a necklace!!!

[@dariodesansebastian]

Wow, you used your own blood to make a set of dice. You're a crazy genius, sir 😅👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sugarghast]

*me being really tense from work and already wrecking my back muscles* *rybonator uploads tense video* Me: ah yes this is the video for me today.
