Dice tower prototype
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
I did this around Christmas time. What you are seeing is the "randomizing chamber" (fancy words for the 'inside'). I'm using the same concept of construction with the tower. A single piece of wood milled out. I decided to do this because I made a... (Read More)
Free Stuff!
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
In appreciation of everyone who has backed my project, I will be sending out a 4" x 6" wooden post card to every backer with the "Doomed Princess" etched on it. 2 hours to go! (Read More)
Playing with the laser
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
So, when it became apparent that I was going to have enough support to justify getting my own laser engraver, I went ahead and made the purchase. After a few false starts, I started getting the hang of the software (boy is the cheap chinese software... (Read More)
Padauk Priest added
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Due to requests, I have decided to add Padauk to the PRIEST line of cases. I am about 90% certain I can get boards in the appropriate width. If for some reason I cannot, I will contact you and make arrangements for replacement box(es) or refund.... (Read More)
Cocobolo now live! 6 hours to go
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
6 hours to go and cocobolo is now live. I'm offering it in both Rogue and Priest, but please be advised that I may have to do a glue-up for the priest. If you pledge for a Priest and I have to do a glue-up and you don't want that, then I'll allow you... (Read More)
Just over 12 hours to go!
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
We are in our final stretch and I want you to help me out just a little bit more. We are just $350 away from the Cocobolo unlock and I'd love to get there! You've all been great and I hope you all like the product that is coming your way. But what... (Read More)
Zebrawood and Teak now live
February 27th - via: kickstarter.com
We broke the 6K and 100 backer barriers last night, so Zebrawood and Teak are now live. I know I can get Zebrawood in wide boards, so it is an option for the Priest case in addition to the Rogue case. I'm not positive whether I can get Teak in the... (Read More)
Priest now available in Brazilian Cherry!
February 26th - via: kickstarter.com
I was able to find a supplier who has Brazilian Cherry in wide boards, so the Priest case is now available in this wood. Scroll down to Priest Cardinal and pledge at this level to get your case in this beautiful wood. Let's go for 6K so we can unlock... (Read More)
Close to a couple last minute unlocks

30mm base question
February 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Over the past couple of weeks, I've gotten a few questions regarding how my case would do with 30mm bases. Since 30mm = about 1.2 inches and the clearance in the case is designed to be a maximum of 1.1", I would have to guess, "not well." Today I... (Read More)
A plug for projects about to close
February 17th - via: kickstarter.com

Bloodwood CONFIRMATION
February 12th - via: kickstarter.com
OK...I have just confirmed that I can get a limited supply of bloodwood in 8" boards. This will allow me to make the cases without doing a glue-up. So here is how it is going to work. I have on the project right now a level for Priest cases made in... (Read More)
Bloodwood update
February 11th - via: kickstarter.com
I still haven't heard back from either of my suppliers on bloodwood in wide boards. Rather than keep everyone waiting on a answer for this, I have decided to go ahead and include bloodwood as a Priest level case. If I am unable to secure 9" wide... (Read More)
New unlocks
February 10th - via: kickstarter.com
I was a little slow in getting new unlocks listed. I've added two more: Zebrawood when we reach $6,000 and Cocobolo when we reach $7,500. Both will be available for the ROGUE cases. Zebrawood will be available for the PRIEST cases for sure, but I'm... (Read More)

Bloodwood now available.
February 4th - via: kickstarter.com
We reached the $4K unlock last night, unlocking Bloodwood. Bloodwood is a South American hardwood with a rich red color that will darken over time. It is an extremely dense wood that should be very durable and wear well over time. The Rogue box with... (Read More)

Southern Ohio...I've lived here for 14 years (originally from NE Ohio) and I have to say this is the first winter that even approaches anything I saw when living in the snow-belt. I have memories of the '77 blizzard and while we don't have the... (Read More)
W2 Purpleheart added
January 27th - via: kickstarter.com
I added a Wave 2 for purpleheart cases today. I've put the ship date for August, but this is purely a book-keeping change. At this time, I do not see a reason why I would not be able to ship everything by late June or early July, but I am trying to... (Read More)
Picture of clasp
January 26th - via: kickstarter.com
I've had a few requests/concerns about the clasp and whether it will hold the cases closed securely. I know in the video that you can hear it rattling when I shake it and can understand the concern. That was about the 20th take of that part of the... (Read More)

$2,000 reached!
January 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
We broke $2,000 yesterday. While there is not an "official" $2K unlock, I thought I'd add one as a bonus. I'm adding a line-art drawing of "Doomed Princess" that can be colored like the other line art drawings. This way, if you like the idea of the... (Read More)
