Some beautiful historical dice being made in this KS. I might go for it and see if they'll give me three Babylonian dice instead of one of each.

They 'meticulously tested' the probabilities and determined that they're not fair...nice.

And it really looks like they've taken the numerals directly from the wikipedia article?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_numerals

I mean quite literally used the same image!

I wrote something in cuneiform once. Having done that, I'd recommend using someone else's image too emoji code4]

So long as they attribute the author and recognise their commercial or non-commercial license.

But Babylonian numbers are no rights on, right? Would be crazy everytime I write a 0 in one of my programs that I have to pay for it

No my point is it looks like they've taken the images straight from wikipedia and etched them onto dice.

Even if the same font was used, that may have a commercial license. You can't use someone else's 0.

Oh yeah ofcourse. Font is different situation

But I don't know, the dices look awesome.

Should congratulate JB and Chooselife for reaching 50 pages of posts!

That makes it the second most popular thread (in terms of number of replies) on CarcC!

All credit/blame goes to Chooselife. I had barely even heard of Kickstarter when he started this thread!

To be honest all the credit goes to your wallets.

Just confirming that I did ask the creators about this and they have indeed agreed to send me three Babylon dice.

These look awesome. The only thing missing are the shipment costs. Do you find it anywhere?

For the single set it’s $AUD8 shipping to Portugal. When you pledge it’ll be added depending on country, so you’ll be able to see it.
