Honest to Dice Kickstarter Project

Introduction

• The project is called Honest to Dice.
• It aims to create the most honest dice mathematically and physically possible.
• Recently launched a Kickstarter campaign.

Unique Features of Honest Dice

D20 Design

• Unlike traditional D20 dice, the number 20 is not directly opposite to the number 1.
• Reason for Unique Layout: To achieve a mathematically balanced design.

Balance Enhancements

1. Number Marking:
   • Numbers are laser-marked instead of engraved.
   • Ensures that the balance is not skewed by the numbering process.
2. Material and Precision:
   • Dice are precision machined from aluminum or titanium.
3. Number Layout:
   • Mathematically balanced numbering.
   • "Half sum": Sum of all numbers on any given half of the D20 is balanced across halves.
   • "Vertex sum": Balances groups of five adjacent numbers.

Additional Design Elements

• D4 Design:
  • Designed for ease of pickup and rolling.
  • Safe design to prevent harm (e.g., won’t impale foot if stepped on).
