4/17/24 ANNOUNCEMENT!
All Its been a bit since i did any updates here, Im officially announcing the opeing of my new online store on saturday may 5th! I wont have any more listings here but will keep up the pge to maintain communications with anyone who isnt on the Facebook page, I forsee taking down this page in about a year.


9/4/21 Announcement :
ben a while since ive added an update here, im currently working on osr replica dice. when those are done ill be taking a short break "about a month" to explore some interesting design ideas ive had. I also will have a pretty large shop update coming sometime later in september.
just wanted to let everyone interested that im still open and working on dice.

thanks
Ross


3/17/21 ANNOUNCEMENT: All, I had to back away from my new mold design as it wasnt feasable with the tools I have. While im somewhat disapointed in that desision, it opens up the chance for other ideas. for the last few years my molds havent changed much and I've had lots of chances to see where they could be improved So I have implemented those design changes and am currently making revised/improved molds, those improvements combined with a much better understanging of surface finishing techniques will produce improved quality dice and hopefully a much lower failure rate.
I am shooting for the end or the month to start making dice again. I have every confidance that these now molds will be successful. Im currently making molds as well as new masters in parallel so new dice soon.

2/9/21 ANNOUNCMENT: Happy new year? late?...Just wanted to post an update about the shop. All through the final weeks od last december and the month of January I've been deep into new mold and prototype development. I am attempting to make a big leap int the way I make dice. I am trying to apply all of the obesrvations and "AH HA!" moments Ive been building up over the last three years. At the same time in parallel to this process Ive been bringing a new 3d printing material online to help this process along. its been a busy month with alot of ups and downs but im closing in on my goal. at this point im actually making the first new molds, I like most of them but have noticed some immediate changes i need to make right away, none of this happens as quickly as I'd like, but im getting there. At this point my goal is to start casting new dice by the end of february. I can promise this, but its my goal. For those interesed in OSR replicas, I intend ot cast some set along with more modenr sets.
Just wanted to let people know im still here and making dice..hopefully alot faster AND better quality than before.

Thanks
Ross



12/24/20 ANNOUNCMENT: Merry Christmas/Yule/saturnalia/solstice/Festivus!
I have an upcoming OSR set release coming between Christmas day and New years day. I thought I'd put togather a short Fact list about the Diceworks and answers to FAQs I get.
1st. i'm REALLY small time! its just me in my shed making these part time, batches are small.
2nd. supplies run out fast, I usually put between 10 and 12 sets up on etsy at a time.. I give a little advanced warning on my facebook page "threshold diceworks" thats' the best place to get the most up to date info on whats going on.
3rd. I don't LOVE how etsy has their cart system set up, "you can have something in your cart but until you complete a transaction its possible for someone else to purchase that item "so be warned that can AND DOES happen.. its as bad buying concert tickets online".
4th. I don't do pre orders or waiting lists, this whole dice endeavor is a hobby for me, I would like to do orders and such but then it becomes like a job.
5th. I really enjoy making dice, RPGs, ect its what ive been into since i was a young kid. i work in new product development engineering/manufacturing as a career, so I love to tinker. Ive designed all my dice and the molds I use.. the entire process is as interesting to me as the final product.
I am continually surprised and humbled by the interest and enthusiasm for these dice, that said Ill continue making them. so if you DONT get any sets this month, hang tight ill make another batch in january.
Sorry for the letter, these are just alot of the questions people end up asking me I thought Id share them ahead of time lol.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask im happy to chit chat.
11/18/20 ANNOUNCEMENT: UPCOMING SHOP UPDATE: Just wanted to update the announcements section, UIve got a rather large "for me" inventory update in the works..I expect to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 sets available soon, I dont want to give an exact date but id guess sometime around or just after Thanksgiving, this will include 10 OSR replica sets and singles. I plan on releasing those first so that enthusiasts dont have to search through the other listings. Again dont look for these before the holiday. That said I'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy thanksgiving.

8/18/20: OSR production run. I wanted to put out a small update about OSR replica dice.. Ill be doing a small production batch this weekend. I probably wont be running much of anything for the month of september as I get two kids back to school, Im not sure what things are going to look like time wise, but by the end of september things should have settled down some.
I also wanted to mention, im working on some exciting new possibilities for custom options specifically the 1 and 20 faces on the D20, I'm working out the final details right now but hope to offer some cool new options in the near future.
As always keep an eye on The Threshold diceworks Facebook page for up to date info. https://www.facebook.com/Thresholddiceworks
7/8/20 : SHIPPING CHANGES ANNOUNCMENT. All Ive had a few incidents of "porch piracy" resulting in lost dice shipments, that I have to replace. While im happy to make things right, it takes up time and resources I would rather devote to making new dice. So as a result I will now be requiring a signature for delivery, this will slightly increase shipping costs. im really sorry for any inconvenience.
thanks
Ross

6/6/18 UPDATE: Taking a short break from Dice making, had a great spirng release of the OSR replica sets and came up with some great looking logos and mold designs.
Im currently in the process of building a new backyard dice production facil---SHED, yes backyard work SHED!... Anyway Ill be visiting GENCON 2018 on friday the 24th..I may have dice upon my person that may be available upon proper request "look for the goblin"!

3/8/18 UPDATE: Modern set coming SOON! I will be bringing my modern D20 and D4 molds online this weekend, so keep an eye out for "standard" modern sets and colors in the coming week or so also at my standard lower prices!
3/3/18 UPDATE: THRESHOLD DICE IS NOW LIVE! Ive just added some of my new dice offerings including the OSR REPLICAS! IM MAKING MORE AS WE SPEAK SO IF I RUN OUT DONT SWEAT IT, IM MAKING MORE! enjoy! Also a brief note on the OSRs the colors will vary somewhat from set to set, ive got some good pics in my research but i also discovered the originals came in a range of colors so, you be the judge!

2/24/18 UPDATE: still building stock, just because you design something dosent always mean you understand how it will behave, these new molds are different than the first and behave differently, had to solve some issues. my dice count continues to grow, im working on improving yeilds which means some failures WHICH means some delays.. im stilll making dice just not as fast as i want.
2/11/18 UPDATE: Dice production in full swing stock levels are rising, should have a comforttable level my the end of next week into the following sometime. Im really excited to put these up, but im holding out till I get sufficent stock.
2/5/18 UPDATE: OK had to put on my automation tech hat for a while, I successfully finished my dice finishing machine, this helps clean off flash and mold residue. Now that I have this operational dice manufacture can resume! I would expect to start seeing new dice by the end of the 2nd week of february to the third week of feb with more to follow as i complete them.
1-26-18 UPDATE: Happy NEWYEAR! BEEN pretty busy here! Sorry I haven't been updating lately, but kids/life/work have been keeping me pretty busy over the holidays. I'm working up my inventory levels to something I am comfortable with and I've been busy making some custom molding/finishing equipment that will really help my productivity. I'm sorry Ive had to let my target release date slip but I wont rush this current project, I'd rather be late and right than first and have poor quality. hopefully new dice if February. stay tuned.
11/25 UPDATE Design process COMPLETE! PHEW! been a busy few weeks here at the works, I've completed all of the new dice designs and I am proceeding with prototypes this coming monday. I have also ordered all the required materials to begin production. I'm getting closer to new dice.. When I have complete sets available Ill post here.. STAY TUNED

Thanks for checking out my page.
A few thoughts about these dice, If you are interested in HIGH quality precision-edged gaming dice,Want a sharp-edged dice without the sprue? Looking for something TOTALLY unique? you've come to the right place.
I have custom designed, and 3D printed molds to create a hybrid/low pressure injection molding process that yeilds High Quality polyhedral dice. They come un-inked to start, but I will ink them for a fee. These dice are made for the gaming table, they are made of a form of polyurethane very similar to what bowling balls are made of, they are durable and should last a lifetime!5/31
