Does anyone know who makes custom dice. I need d6, d8 and d10.
Thanks |

They are easy enough to make yourself. A couple of Youtube vids and I've gotten to the point that mine look store bought! link |

Wish.com sells molds. You can make any type you like, but the faces are marked with standard numbers. I assume you are wanting something other than regular numbers on the faces? As skipper John pointed out, there are videos on YouTube. You would need to make some blank faced dice, then carve in the symbols on the faces, per your own designs. Then make new molds, and cast away. Cheers! |

I've found Chessex to be quite reasonable, but they may only do D6's. There are some people on Etsy, too. |

I could cast you something in silver or bronze. |

I want a d6 with all 6's. |

Amazon has blank cubes on to which you can write anything with a marker. I made Test of Honor dice in various colors. Amzon also as dice with varying number of sides, but already printed. I had not thought of making a DBA die with all 6's. I once played in a game, CLS, with an opponent who was found to be using a pair of dice, one all 6, the other 5 and 1. Looks like you can get everything here

Bobgnar, you need THREE sets of crooked dice to play CLS--a high set for combat and morale, a low set for Combat Effectiveness rolls, and dice with only 3's and 4's for artillery windage. Every now and then back in The Day, you'd hear someone say to a friend "hand me the C. E. dice." |

If your opponent has a die with all 6's, he asks you to put the 6 of the windage stick behind the target. Or if clever, put the 3/4 behind a target such that the 6 is behind his actual target. While a pair of 1/5 and all 6 dice is good for combat, it never gives doubles. |
