Damage and the Tower

So.. we decided to put more gimmicks with the game. We discussed about many things that's possible for us too add the value of the game. We want something small but has good additional effect. A miniature statue/figure which not only look good but also functional... then we came up with the idea to create a dice tower! This might be a perfect choice because the game utilize dice on it's mechanic. But why dice tower?

According to wikipedia a dice tower is: an object used by gamers to roll fairly. Even if the definition sounds ambigous, the item itself is real. The mechanic inside a dice tower makes the dice roll and bounce before emerging on the front area. This mechanic prevents any kind of manipulation/cheating when rolling the dice with hand. On the other hand, a miniature castle/tower on a medieval-themed game serves as a good addition.

My part for this idea is to create the plan. The main problem for this idea is actually choosing the right material for it. I want something soft but sturdy enough for the construction to stay intact. Soft because I want it to be safe for children. Unfortunately, I can't find anything that match with that criteria yet. So I decided to use pla plate for prototyping. I will upload photos of the prototype when I finished constructing it. Meanwhile, this is how the plan look like.

Just in case anyone want to create their own dice tower, the .PNG version can be downloaded at following link:

By the way, Fei's done a terrific job coloring damage counters! I really love them!
