So Tim...first of all...great dice tower.

You know that guy who you game with...your Dungeon Master...he likes dice towers. You know...that guy in Moorhead that you see pretty much every weekend...that guy with the beard and the long hair?

Just saying...

...and you know, I can't help but notice you are hoarding quite the trove of GeekGold. I wonder how much a hand-crafted dice tower would fetch? Would it sweeten the deal if I told you it was a MasterWork Dice Tower of Dungeon Mastery + 2?

Found a site that had freely available textures and scaled them accordingly with GIMP. Printed everything out on cardstock paper and used a glue stick to affix the pages. Having a cutting board helped.

WOW great plans

I loved your disclaimer

Disclaimer - Donʼt be stupid. Exacto knives are wicked sharp, and it is an especially bad idea to use spray mount inside. If you get sick or cut yourself, sue your parents for not giving you more active brain cells. Donʼt sue me.

Those are actually Matt Drake's words & plans -- not mine. I just made the texture overlays to use with *his* plans.

Even so, that bit made me laugh, too.

The guys at our last get together for Pathfinder were giving me crap about those too. Yes! They are VERY hard to read.
