FAQs
Q: Are your dice balanced?
A: Short answer is yes, my dice are balanced enough for casual play. They are not casino grade dice though and I'm not advertising them this way. None of the inclusions that I add are heavy enough to make them weighted. If you are comfortable rolling Chessex or any mass produced dice at a table, then my dice should be treated no differently. If you're the type of person that has to bring a level to make sure the table and floor you're playing on is level, then my dice aren't for you, sorry. Handmade dice will have imperfections as they are handmade. Handmade dice are functional works of art.
Also, because of their shapes, all dice are balanced. My dice are in no way loaded.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: I am offering international shipping with this 8/6 update as a test! Internationally shipping is a flat rate of $15, untracked.
Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Yes, I do. My commissions are currently CLOSED.

Q: When is your next shop restock? / There's nothing in your shop! Are you still open?
A: I am still open, don't worry. My next shop update will be updated on the top corner of the website when I announce it. There will be a countdown on my Instagram page (@dino.dice) as well after it's announcement.
Q: What are your dice made of?
A: All my dice are made with resin and have everything from cellophane to leafing to flower inclusions. They are inked with acrylic paint.
Q: Where do you get your molds? / Do you make molds to sell?
A: My current molds are made by hand from my master dice, which were designed by the lovely AJ (@arcana_cast on Instagram). I made sprue molds from Smooth On Sorta Clear 12 and are a modified version of Dark Moon Dice's (darkmoondice on instagram) video on YouTube (which was recently taken down) and cap molds from a modified version of Dice Witchery's method (@dicewitchery on Instagram). I do not currently make molds for others and do not have plans to in the immediate future, but please check out Kingsfell Dice (@kingsfell on Instagram) and Bea (@epic_mouse_designs on Instagram) for molds.
Q: How much are your dice?
A: All of my dice are typically $85+. As most of my sets come with 2d6, 2d20s, and a coin, they are priced slightly higher than a set of 7 would typically be priced. Chonks (large 40mm) are $60+ depending on the design and inclusions. Singles range between $10-25. Raw sets will be sold for $30+ and singled for $5.
Q: Do you accept returns?
A: I am a small business that operates out of my own home, so at this time I cannot accept returns. If you have a problem with your package being lost, stolen, damaged or are unhappy with your purchase, please reach out.
Q: What does experimental/semi experimental/non experimental mean?
A: This is just a differentiation between the different sets I sell. Experimental are sets and singles that I cannot guarantee I'll ever sell again. Typically this means the set was a proof of concept. These sets are one of a kind. Semi experimental are sets like petri or dirty pours that won't be able to be made exactly the same again. Due to the nature of the pours, they cannot be made again, but colors and designs can be attempted again. Non experimental are sets that are easily repeatable.
