Who doesn't love custom dice? When the CSW crew
decided to have some made, I expected it to be a chore. After doing
some initial research, I decided to contact Chessex Dice, located in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I think it is safe to say that most gamers are familiar with their product.
I initially contacted them via a form on their web page. Within hours, I was contacted by Joseph Kogin with their custom manufacturing division. We discussed pricing and size options, and he provided me with a VERY extensive list of possible colors.
At that time, we were not sure what version of our logo we would use on the dice. I mentioned some of our thoughts to him, and pointed him to this blog to see the existing logo.
Soon after, I received pictures of some dice that he mocked up. I thought at first that these were renders, but no -- they were the real thing. He made a couple dice to give us a good idea of what we were getting. We were so impressed with these that we decided to double our initial order.
The dice took a few weeks to manufacture, and arrived just in time for us to use them at our 3rd annual zombie game. We are very pleased with them. Bonus: They arrived lucky. I rolled a ton of sixes that night!
I want to stress that our experience with Chessex was fantastic. Each step of the way, they made us feel like we were their biggest client ever. When our stock runs out, we won't hesitate to place another order with them.

We've got a good quantity of these dice, and we thought it might be fun to get them into the hands of blog readers around the world. If you'd like to buy a few (minimum three dice) and help support our game club, please email josh@chicagoskirmishwargames.com and we'll work out pricing and quantity.
