If I want to self publish the game, I'm going to source these dice from somewhere. The obvious choices are to go to the companies that produce their own.

I contacted Libellud within the last couple of weeks. They've said straight away that they're not available for third parties. Bummed as they're a beautiful design.

Rio Grande have been taken my shopping list of required bits including face artwork, but they've yet to get back to me. That was before GenCon.

So there are 3 avenues open at this point:

1. Source from the supplier - looking less likely by the day.

2. Make my own - where to begin with this, I have no idea.

3. Change the game design to use another mechanic - This is possible but goes against the point of the game.

It's difficult choice. There seems little point working the rest of it until I know I can get the dice. I'll give it another week. Finger's crossed...
