Lou had his fingers in so many elements of RPG but his weird dice was one of the major things for which he was known.
Lou's weird dice would inspire Joseph Goodman when creating DCC to create a 14 dice chain as a mechanic. The reasoning being that part of the fun of D&D was grabbing these unusual shapes the first time and rolling them and he wanted DCC to have new unusual shapes.
For those that do not know ... I started making weird and unusual dice before I even learned bout DCC. I had all 14 weird dice in my booth at Gen Con in 2013 for a DCC set without even knowing that DCC used them. Fans of DCC noted this ... ran over to Mr. Goodman and he came over to my booth to check it out and in 2014 Impact! started making the first full 14 dice DCC sets.
Making dice for Goodman Games has changed my life and I know every day that my life would not be what it is now without Lou Zocchi paving the path that eventually led to Mr. Goodman approaching my booth those many years ago.
So a great force in the RPG and especially the dice part of that world winked out today ... so a toast to you Lou and a thank you for all you did to this industry.
Project Update: 4 Stretch Goals down! New add-on announced. Video review of Tyche's Pouch.
There is a lot of announce since the last update.
We've unlocked 4 stretch goals now. Every backer at $5 or more will receive the following for free:
Blink Golem 5E/DCC monster PDF
Spell-ward Candy magic item PDF
Tiger Beetle Boots magic item PDF
Chaos Vault of Whiterock PDF with 34 pages of random tables for dice D3 to D30
At $20,000 the next stretch goal will unlock a short range teleport anklet item PDF for 5E/DCC inspired by our Misty Step dice set.
We added a new add-on based on a backer request. The Cream colored D21 with Coffee numbers is a new die that we produced for the multi-color Laverna's Ring set. We are offering this as an add-on as its not available outside the set currently for $3.
Finally Deck of DM Things did a great video on Tyche's Pouch check it out!

Thank you Cole for the great review of the project!
We are not even half way to the end and we are way ahead of where I hoped to be so thank you backers.
If you can share the projects will friends to help spread the word so we can hit more goals during the middle lull that all projects have ... very much appreciated!

Really looking forward to The Chaos Vaults of Whiterock, looks really useful for solo play!

Hi! Is there any chance you would consider adding an additional $5 pledge level that gets all of the PDF materials offered at the current $5 level but without the die? I love dice, but I promised my partner I would not buy more stuff to add to my "gaming clutter". PDFs are fine, though. :-) Thanks for considering!
However then Goodman Games purchased the exclusive rights to sell our Gorgon's Gaze and Prismatic Spray colors in North America (which was a greal deal for Impact!)
Mr. Goodman was awesome and gave Impact! permission to sell Gorgon's Gaze with the planned Blink Golem rules for this Backerkit project and if we reach $15,000 ... I'll just give everyone the rules for the Blink Golem because it was a lot of fun to creatr this monster and I'd love to share it. Oh and special shout out to Harley Stroh for helping me convert my 5E stats for this monster to DCC.
I just wondered if any backers recognize the dual inspiration for this monster?
Tom @ Impact!
