Hey Everyone! We are just a few short weeks away from launch, and we'd just like to thank everyone who has followed the project so far. The questions, debates about physics, and strong opinions on dinosaur poop have made this a very fun lead-up!
Roll with History launches on January 27, and we're excited to finally start sharing more of what's inside the project. So let's talk dinosaurs! 🦖
The Full Dinosaur Fossil Dice Set
Up until now, we've only revealed one die from the Dinosaur Fossil Set. It's time to finally share the full lineup!
Each die in this set contains a real dinosaur fossil specimen, sourced and authenticated by Mini Museum. Every piece is tied to a specific species, formation, location, and time period. Here's what's in the full set:
d20 - Tyrannosaurus Rex bone fossil Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota • ~66 million years old
The king of the dinosaurs! T. rex grew up to 40 feet long, weighed about 9 tons, and had teeth up to 12 inches long. Evidence suggests it both hunted and scavenged to fuel that massive body
d12 - Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) bone fossil Lance Formation, South Dakota • ~66 million years old, Cretaceous Period
Hadrosaurs were large, herd-living herbivores found across the prehistoric world. Some reached nearly 49 feet long and weighed up to 17.5 tons. Their famous "duck bills" were actually bone structures packed with hundreds of small teeth for grinding through tough plant material.
d10 - Alamosaurus bone fossil Javelina Formation, West Texas • ~66 million years old
The largest dinosaur every discovered in North America. Alamosaurus stretched up to 85 feet long and weighed over 30 tons. Some fossils were found just feet below the extinction boundary, pleacing it very close to the end of the dinosaurs.
d8 - Stegosaurus plate fossil Morrison Formation, Colorado • ~150 million years old
Did you know those back plates weren't attached to the skeleton? They actually formed in the skin and were likely used for temperature regulation. Some of the largest plates reached nearly two feet tall.
d6 - Triceratops bone fossil Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota • ~66 million years old
At 30 feet long and 10 tons, the Triceratops was no pushover. Fossils show evidence of battles with Tyrannosaurids, and their horns and frill likely played roles in defense, mating, and herd recognition.
d4 - Dinosaur coprolite Morrison Formation, Utah • ~150 million years old Yes, it's fossilized dinosaur poop. And yes, it's incredibly informative! Coprolites help scientists understand dinosaur diets, movement, and behavior. Also, it makes blaming your bad rolls extremely literal.
d100 - Pachycephalosaurus bone fossil Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota • ~66 million years old
Known for its thick, domed skull, Pachycephalosaurus likely used its headgear for combat and display. Some fossil domes show stress fractures, suggesting head-butting was very much part of the plan.
