TL;DR: Files are in various states of approval with the factory. We recap the DTA designers live stream sessions. Pictures of the full set of professionally painted minis from Jaden Iwaasa. Plus we share some Community Content!
* Season One Rerolled: Battle Chest - In production!
* Miniatures - In production!
* Dice Throne Adventures - The factory is reviewing and approving the files with us and asking us to make small adjustments. Most of these have been minor. For example: adjusting the tolerance (or space) between the image and the cut line. We expect production to begin next week!
For those of you who plan to watch the replays SKIP THIS! Spoilers of the outcomes are coming. For those of you who didn't want to watch BECAUSE of spoilers. We will recap for you now!
Nate, Manny & Gavan played on Veteran difficulty. Here's how it turned out:
From time to time our amazing fans share content they created inspired by Dice Throne. It is an incredible honor that our game and heroes drive you all to not only create, but also share your creations with us. We are going to start featuring these from time to time in our updates with this new section: "From the Community!"
And with this image, we show the final group shot of the fabulous mini's painted by Jaden Wind Iwaasa. We were very fortunate that Jaden had time for us to paint these amazing looking minis. We can't wait until you can all see them at future conventions (we will have those again at some point right?). They will look amazing on our DTA demo tables.
**These are not what the final factory painted mini's will look like!** Our photographer is taking professional pictures of the factory painted minis and we hope to have those available in the next update so you can see them as well.
Thank you, as always, for your support and patience while we make the best game possible for all of you! We are excited to be entering the final stages and will be back with our next update on Thursday, September 3rd, 2020.

over 3 years ago
– Fri, Aug 07, 2020 at 06:56:18 PM

Everything is now being submitted to the manufacturer for production. Once we confirm the final digital proofs and approve production to move forward, the manufacturer will provide us with a finalized timeline so that we can determine exact target fulfillment dates.
* Season One Rerolled: Battle Chest - Approved and in production!
* Miniatures - Approved and in production!
* Dice Throne Adventures - We have approved functionality of the pre-production samples, everything is working great! Files were re-exported this week and will be submitted to the factory for production today! There will be some final back and forth reviewing and edits to files before full-blown production proceeds.

* Dice Trays - Complete
* New Playmats - Complete

Samples Are In! + Upcoming DTA Livestream & More Pro-Painted Minis!
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 02:32:46 AM
TL;DR: Videos of unboxing samples. Timeline Progresses. Rulebook in testing. DTA Livestream Series scheduled. Pro-painted minis that will make you drool.
When you pour yourself into a product with as much love as we have for DTA, unboxing the factory sample is a euphoric feeling that is hard to properly describe. Since this live stream has ended, I have opened this box, again and again, to marvel over the components. It is truly the most amazing and functional vac tray system I have ever seen. We can't wait for you to get the product! These videos were shared first in our Facebook Community. If you aren't a member yet, join us!
Over the last 14 months, Gabriel Martin (of BlackThumb Creations) and Gavan Brown have worked closely together on designing a vac tray system that minimizes the space needed on your table, while also serving as a functional "bank" for all components. Gabriel's amazing talent with CAD combined with his perseverance and dedication to pushing this project to completion is something our team sincerely appreciates.
* Season One Rerolled: Battle Chest - The factory is currently manufacturing your copy right now! Because all final packing will be done at the same time, Season One Rerolled will be shipped at the same time as Dice Throne Adventures in October.
* Miniatures - Approved and in production!
* Dice Throne Adventures - We have received full samples and are currently playtesting them to ensure maximum polish and functionality.
* Vac Tray - We have confirmed that the vac trays are insanely functional and amazing. There are a few tiny pieces of feedback that we gave to the manufacturer, and with those, we are approving them for production!
* Dice Trays - Complete
* New Playmats - Complete
* Card Sleeves - Complete
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to review the rulebook. We will be sending you a google form for you to fill in during your review. Please be sure to let us know if you have any questions using the contact information listed in the form instructions. Expect to see these come through shortly after this update.
We can't possibly talk about where we are at with the rules without giving a massive shout out to John Heidrich (our lead beta tester) who has been pivotal in this process. His tireless hours playtesting and tweaking have helped get us to what we feel is a game you all will really, truly, enjoy, with rules that are easy to follow.
Tim Huesken, while new to designing rulebooks, has already shown a massive passion for graphic design and has proven himself an asset to bringing the rulebook completion. We look forward to working with him on rulebooks in the future!
And also thank you to Simon Rourke, who did all of the initial copy writing and editing!

Join Nate, Manny, & Gavan as they set off to fight their way toward the Mad King - Spoilers Ahead!
Initial schedule:
* Scenario 1 (Portal Crawl): August 3rd, 3 pm PST / 6pm EST
* Scenario 2 (Boss Battle, unless we lost s1 lol): TBD!
Jaden Iwaasa continues to do amazing work on our mini's that we will be taking with us to conventions (In the virus-free future). He only has a few left. We are over the moon excited about his incredible painting skills. Thank you, Jaden!
And just to set expectations. These are not representative of what the pre-painted minis will look like coming out of the factory. So keep expectations in check. You will be disappointed if you think a factory in China can replicate what a pro-painter can do.
DTA is not a miniature/hobby game and you do not NEED minis to play it. But it does help the immersive quality.
Q: Is it too late to purchase painted or unpainted mini's?
A: No. Please email [email protected] if you wish to alter your pledge.
Thank you!
Our next update is scheduled for Thursday, August 6th, 2020.

In the last update, we announced we had something special in the works for our winner Shaun and runner up Vincent... and here it is! We've been working with our friends at Level Up Dice to bring you a die worthy of the Mad King; some advance prototypes of these dice are pictured below. They not only look and feel great, but they are also guaranteed to give you the best loot* while playing Dice Throne Adventures! (*The Mad King reserves the right to cancel this claim of “best loot” at any time.)
We will be offering these D20s in limited quantities at conventions and through special orders once manufacturing is complete. But since we are so happy with these early prototypes, we wanted to share them with our winners!
Please make sure to visit their site at www.levelupdice.net to see some amazing examples of what their finished products look like!
Advance prototypes after heavy testing. Final dice will be of durable materials that may vary slightly in color and detail.
Thank you!
Our next update is scheduled for Thursday, July 9th, 2020.
