Sometimes it’s nice to stay away from technology for a while, reconcile with some friends and play a full role-playing game using just pen, paper and lots of dice. But if that’s a little low for you, then there’s always Pixels, a new set of electronic dice with built in Bluetooth and RGB LED lighting. Dice starts at Kickstarter, starting at $ 39. As of this writing, more than 14,000 people have endorsed the project for a total of more than 2 million in mortgages.
The main attraction here is the apparently colorful RGB lighting, which will be customizable and programmable by the mate system Promise Companion app. The Pixels are also waterproof, charging wirelessly through companion charging cases, and if you’re willing to live without lighting, the charge can go on for about five hours or more. There are many types of dye styles available including D20, D12, D10, D8, D6 and D4.

But for me, the most interesting thing about dice is how they will obviously be able to communicate with Roll 20, Foundry and other plat online platforms that let you play tablet op games on the internet. At the moment a service like Roll 20 is based on either virtual dice rolls, or by rolling a traditional dice and then reporting back to the master of your games. In contrast, Pixels can offer you the best of both worlds, by letting you die physically and automatically reporting the result.
Yes, there are a lot of obvious jokes about not being able to play pen and paper RPG because your aspect is not charged. But if you like the idea of having a Bluetooth-enabled dice just like the Christmas tree, then the Pixels will be available on Kickstarter until April 8th. One death (including a charger) starts at $ 39, or you can get a set of seven dice and a charging case for 199 199. All general warnings about supporting kickstarts apply, but only if all pixels go into the plan Should Ship in about 12 months.
