Custom Movement Dice (Update: with 3D printing files)
« on: 10 March 2019, 15:18:45 »
[Update 20190313] Here are files for those who wanna give it a try.

(1) For normal printing: Print the file on labels or laminate the dice faces before assembly.

(2) For 3D printing (STL): I am still a beginner of 3D printing and am trying to figure out the way to maximize the printing quality (angle, support, infill, plate cohesion, etc.).

************************************************************************************************

Unable to find a similar aid, I went ahead and  made a set of custom movement dice to keep track of movement for each individual mech during a turn. Each face shows mode, distance, attack modifier, and defense/target modifier.

White (single forward sign) is for walking.
Red (double forward sign is for running.
Yellow (upward sign is for jumping.
Purple is for prone.
Black is for immobile.

On each face, the 1st row shows the mode and the distance travelled. The 2nd and 3rd rows give you the attacker and target (defense) modifiers respectively.

Interesting...looks like the dice a local game group came up with in my neck of the woods (these are laser Etced onto actual dice.)
