More funky 3D-printed RPG dice from Shapeways -- this time it's Aegidian's "Ossuary Dice" worked with a decorative skull motif. Good companion set for your Thorn Dice.

Ossuary Dice Set

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Mmmm, popcorn.

    These are just so neat. I almost wish I was still RPGing so I could use a set. Tempted to get a set anyway.
    And yes, popcorn! They really ought to be the slightly yellowed tone of old bone, which would make them look even crunchier.

    There really needs to be a good automatic resin coat or dip that you can
    run these things through to get a good finish; most of the 3D printed
    stuff I’ve seen looks only partially complete.  Paint would also be an
    option.

    Does anyone else remember what BoingBoing used to post about before 3d printing?
