Project Update: Manufacturing Samples
We wanted to get y'all a short update before we sign off for our holiday break.
The manufacturing process has been smooth sailing so far and we expect to be able to begin shipping rewards early next year. We don't yet have full shipping estimates in place, but right now we expect that the EU and UK estimates will come down as we will be shipping from the Netherlands. Orders for everyone else will be shipping from Florida. We aim to have final shipping and tax figured in Backerkit by mid January.
There is still a lot of work to do, but we are happy with how the dice have turned out and can't wait to get these into your hands.
This whole project is only possible because we have the good fortune of working with excellent partners in Chessex and Cook & Becker.
If you missed the dice campaign, we still have a couple of options up for pre-order: https://mcdm.gg/dice

With Preorders showing a limited amount of Add-Ons, is it possible to book said add-ons again while stock lasts? Or do backers need to preorder with the small price bump for being late? If preorder is necessary, how will shipping in the EU commence for Preorders compared to early pledges and add-ons?
Project Update: Draw Steel Dicefunder - Add-on selections are due Monday!
Hello Backers,
If you are planning to select any add-ons in your backerkit survey, we need you to do so by Monday November 18th so that we can finalize our order from the factory. After the 18th you will not be able to select additional add-ons. You will NOT be charged for any add-ons or shipping fees until January.
As always, if you need assistance, you can email us at [email protected]
Thanks,

Hi MCDM team, First, thank you for making the “Dicefunder” happen—seeing these dice come to life for Draw Steel is genuinely exciting. However, I have serious concerns about the shipping cost for my pledge, which came out to $41.80 to ship from Amsterdam to Vienna. Considering my “All Five Hero Dice Sets - Just the Dice” pledge contains 10d20s and 5d6s without any special packaging, this amount feels unreasonable. By weight, even if each die is on the heavier side, this totals around 160 grams. That’s a small, lightweight parcel, and I know from experience that shipping a package of this size within the EU (or even across longer distances) generally doesn’t cost nearly this much. For comparison, I recently received the DnD 2024 Player’s Guide from the U.S.—a hefty hardcover book—for less than half the shipping cost here. A quick check with standard EU postage rates shows that shipping a small parcel from the Netherlands to Austria at a weight up to 2kg can be as low as €6.60 for letterbox size or €10.50 for a small parcel—both far below the $41.80 you’re asking and well above the weight of 15 dice. Given that Amsterdam is only 720 miles (1158 km) from Vienna, this shipping cost is simply baffling. This also makes me seriously worried about what we’ll be charged to ship the Draw Steel hardcover books (from the other crowdfunder). I expected those to come with higher shipping costs, but I thought the dice would ship at a more reasonable EU rate. It seems our expectations of “reasonable” may be very different. Could you take a look at the shipping calculations or explain the logistics behind this? It’s frustrating to feel like shipping may be priced well above what it needs to be, especially after supporting the campaign. I believe many of us backers would appreciate some transparency on this and, hopefully, a more realistic shipping approach for lightweight rewards. Thank you for understanding. I have not pressed “Place My Order” in the survey form, and I’m hopeful we can find a solution.
