Questions for Verne
Every open question from the product rewrites, in one list: 75 questions across 63 products, most popular first. Answer them to me in any order ("#46 snake: green only") and I will fold them in. Nothing moves to dicemakers.com until you have seen them. Products review · Notes
#1 · One D6 Dice With Your Choice of Text on All Six Sides (product 215)
- The new configurator replaces this product at relaunch; this rewrite covers the gap until then.
#2 · Starless Sea Dice - One D6 (product 2692)
- The old copy never names the die's six symbols. Want them listed? (Claude didn't guess them.)
#3 · Random Pips Dice - One D6 (product 219)
- Assumed each face still reads as its number (1 to 6 pips, randomly placed). Confirm; the old copy only says 'random arrangement'.
#4 · Chaos Pips Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 213)
- Chaos Pips (set, $8) vs Random Pips (single, $5.50): are the Chaos pips also generated per die, or one fixed design? Copy avoids claiming either.
#5 · Flip Chess - The Pocket Chess Strategy Game (product 2557)
- Dropped the '$8 more for your own dice/ink colors' line: homsher/roadmap/launches/flipchess_launch.md says the customization option should come off this product. Put it back if not.
- Video links from the old page weren't in the description HTML; add the gameplay video when you pick one.
- No link to the free browser version (it's a newsletter-first beta).
#10 · One Personalized D6 Dice With Your Choice of Pip Artwork (product 214)
- 17 die colors / 12 ink colors are from the old copy; still accurate? (The configurator has its own ink list, now including silver and gold.)
#11 · Racoon Dice - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2618)
- Your old copy had five D&D uses (urban exploration, loot, mischief, druid allies, camping). The rails allow one tabletop idea per product, since most buyers aren't gamers, so the rest became household and gift ideas. Want the D&D list back?
#12 · Autumn Leaf / Druid Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 234)
- Old copy mixes 'in red, yellow, and orange' and 'hand-painted multicolor' as options. Rewritten as a choice; confirm that's how it's ordered.
#14 · Panda and Bamboo - Set of 2 D6 (product 6029)
- The old listing is one sentence. What's on each side (panda on the 1? bamboo pips?), the die and ink colors, and any hand painting? Claude didn't guess.
#16 · Spider Dice! - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2615)
- Kept your song, set out as verses. It says 'glows in dark': are any of these actually glow-in-the-dark? If not, we might tweak that line so nobody expects it.
- 'Choose any 2': how does the customer pick? (Product options on the live page?)
#21 · Set of 2 D6 - Round Pips Alternate , Wheel of Time (product 2628)
- Old copy only says those two colorways are ready-to-ship. Are other colors available made-to-order? If so, how long?
#24 · Card Suit Dice/Poker Dice, Set of 4 - D6 (product 258)
- Assumed one suit per die (hearts die, diamonds die...). The old copy could also mean mixed suits on each die. Which is it?
#25 · Spooky Halloween Bat Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 227)
- Removed 'Limited Hand-Dyed Sets available for Halloween 2023!' from the old short description. It's out of date. Is there a 2026 Halloween version to mention instead?
#26 · Fox Pup Dice - Set of 2 D6 (product 2616)
- Assumed the fox pup is on side 1 and paw prints are the pips on the other sides. Confirm.
- Trimmed your D&D fox ideas to one, per the one-tabletop-idea rule.
#27 · Writing Dice - Writing Prompt Gift Set (product 225)
- Assumed 3 dice per W (15 / 5). The old copy doesn't say; confirm or tell us the split.
#30 · Mouse Dice - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2604)
- Your old copy had three D&D ideas (mouse familiar, polymorph, squeak and sneak). Kept 'squeak and sneak' and added two everyday ones, per the one-tabletop-idea rule.
#31 · Hen and Eggs Chicken Dice - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2608)
- Your old copy had three D&D ideas (Were-Chicken, Feathered Foes, Clucky Companion). Kept the Were-Chicken and added two everyday ones, per the one-tabletop-idea rule.
#35 · Crane and Lotus - Set of 2 D6 (product 6028)
- Like Panda and Bamboo, the old listing is one sentence. What's on each side, the colors, and any hand painting? Claude didn't guess.
#36 · Backgammon Dice - The Pocket Game of Backgammon Strategy and Dice Tactics (product 4864)
- This is the house template, so it's barely changed. The live page embeds two walkthrough videos (Part 1 and Part 2) that aren't links in the description HTML; tell us if you want those links here too.
#41 · Set of 2 - Hand-Dyed Heraldic Sun & Moon (product 2649)
- The live listing has no long description at all, so everything here comes from its short description. Is each die a Sun on one side and a Moon on another, or is one die the Sun and one the Moon? Copy assumes one of each.
#42 · Opaque Dyed Butterfly Dice, 1 - D6 (product 4572)
- The live listing has no long description. Assumed butterflies are the pips and that each die's color varies from the dye process. What colors, and is there a translucent version to cross-link (we saw 'Translucent Dyed Butterfly Dice' in the catalog)?
#44 · Sheep Meadow - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2611)
- Your old copy had three D&D ideas (farming mini-game, Nature's Blessing, animal communication). Kept one, added everyday ideas, per the one-tabletop-idea rule.
#46 · Snake Dice - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2614)
- The old short description says 'purple with green and yellow accents'; the long one says 'purple with green accents'. Which is right?
- The relaunch runbook (A2) lists this product (2614) as mis-flagged. Worth a look at its categories when you review.
#47 · Set of 2 - Hand-Dyed Halloween Bats Dice (product 257)
- 'Limited edition': is there still stock, and should the listing say how many are left?
#48 · Halloween Pumpkin Jack-o'-Lantern Dice (product 221)
- Removed 'Limited Hand-Dyed Sets are now available for Halloween 2023!' (out of date).
#49 · Amoeba Dice - Set of 2 D6 (product 2642)
- How does a customer pick the glow-in-the-dark version? Product options on the live page?
#54 · Hand-Dyed Lucky Clover Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 4540)
- The live listing has no long description. Assumed the same design as the classic Lucky Clover Dice (a four-leaf clover on side one, clovers on the rest), hand dyed. What color is the dye?
#55 · Halloween Spooky Cat (product 3393)
- 'In Black and Orange': is that one black die and one orange die, or black dice with orange ink?
#57 · Butterfly Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 247)
- Assumed butterflies are the pips. The old copy doesn't say what's on side one.
#58 · Coffee Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 235)
- The old copy never describes the design (coffee cups? beans?). What's on each side?
#60 · Soda Pop Bubbles - Set of One Red & One Green D6 (product 2654)
- The live listing has only a one-line short description and isn't in Ready to Ship. Is this still available, and what's the ship time? What do the bubbles look like on each side?
#61 · Ladybug Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 4959)
- Assumed the ladybug count is the number rolled. Confirm.
- Your old copy had four D&D ideas (environmental clues, blessings, insect swarms, nature puzzle). Kept one, per the one-tabletop-idea rule.
#62 · Hand-Dyed Bee Dice, 1 - D6 (product 4609)
- The live listing has no long description. Same design as the Bee Dice set (happy bumbler on a honeycomb on side one, bees looking for pollen on the rest)? And what's the dye color?
#63 · Hand Dyed Dark Dagger/Rogue Dice, 1 - D6 (product 4603)
- How does the customer ask for the clear-with-glitter top? A product option, or a note at checkout?
#64 · Hot & Cold, Hand-Dyed Vintage Flower Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 4589)
- The live listing has no long description. What are the hot and cold colors (one warm die and one cool die, like the Sun and Moon set?).
#66 · Winter Snowflake Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 232)
- Assumed snowflakes are the pips. Confirm.
#68 · 100 Custom Carved Dice With Free Artwork Prep (product 251)
- No ship or lead time on the old listing. Want one here (e.g. 'usually 3 to 4 weeks after the art is approved')?
#69 · Rune Dice, Set of Four D6 (product 270)
- Which Futhark: Elder (24 runes, one per side across the 4 dice)? Copy just says 'Futhark' like the old listing.
#70 · Dungeon Master / Game Master RPG Decision Dice Set (product 242)
- Changed 'barkeep's mood' to 'innkeeper' (the no-alcohol rule).
- What's on each of the four dice (weather, mood, body location, and...?)
- Not in Ready to Ship on the live site; what's the lead time?
#71 · Frog Life Cycle Dice - Set of 2 (product 2603)
- Pond Chorus (the frog life-cycle web game) would be a natural link here once it's public. Left out for now.
#72 · Ax/Barbarian, Set of 2 - D6 (product 266)
- The old short description says 'Black or Red Dice' and the long one says 'Black or Blue Dice'. Which colors? (Left the die color out until you say.)
#75 · Farkle Fusion - The Pocket Game of Dice Addition Strategy (product 3846)
- Fusion's goal (from the Trilogy copy): race up to 10,000 points. Want that in this listing too?
#78 · Special Paint Mushroom / Mycology Dice, 1 - D6 (product 4576)
- The live listing is one line. What makes the 'special paint' special (colors, technique)? Worth a sentence, since it's the whole reason to buy this over the $8 set.
#79 · Translucent Dyed Butterfly Dice, 1 - D6 (product 4568)
- What's the dye color? The live listing is one line.
#81 · Hand-Dyed Coffee Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 4489)
- What's the dye color on these? (Coffee-brown swirl?)
#82 · Snails! Set of 2 - D6 (product 2605)
- Dropped the 'butter and garlic' line. It's a joke about eating the snails, and it bumps into the no-animal-harm rule. Put it back if you disagree.
- What's on each side? The old copy doesn't describe the design.
#83 · Forest Bunny - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2607)
- Where's the bunny (side one?) and are the clovers the pips? Copy stays general.
#84 · Mischievous Goat - Set of 2 D6 (product 2610)
- The old copy talks about a 'Rainbow of Goats' and picking goat colors. What colors are offered, and how does a customer choose? Left out until you say.
- The old listing has no short description, so this one is new.
#85 · Hedgehog Dice - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2617)
- On the live site this product is only in 'All Products' and 'Ready to Ship', so it won't show up under Animal Designs or Cute!. Worth adding those at cutover.
#87 · Random Snowflake Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 273)
- Are the snowflakes generated by the same software as the Random Pips? If so, we can say 'generated by our own software' here too.
#88 · 50 Custom Carved Dice With Free Artwork Prep (product 275)
- Same as the 100-dice listing: want a lead time here?
#89 · Strawberry Dice, Set of 2 D6 (product 2723)
- The old short description says 'complete the experience with our matching knit dice bag', but the long description doesn't mention a bag and the price is $16. Is a bag included? If yes, we'll list it like the Pineapple set.
#90 · Nerdfighter Dice, Set of 2 - D6, Hanklerfish / DFTBA (product 264)
- Check the 2016 Project for Awesome wording is how you want to put it (made FOR the project, donated to it?).
#94 · Bottle/Alchemist Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 228)
- Not in Ready to Ship on the live site. Made to order? How long?
#95 · Farkle Fission - The Pocket Game of Dice Subtraction Strategy (product 3882)
- Fixed the old copy's typo: it said 'Combine with our Farkle Fission Game' on the Fission page (meant Fusion).
#96 · Turtle Dice - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2606)
- Kept one of your three RPG turtle ideas (per the one-tabletop-idea rule).
- Which side has the turtle, and are flowers the pips?
#97 · Skunk and Strawberries - Set of 2 - D6 (product 2619)
- What's on sides 2 to 6 (strawberries as pips?)
#98 · 25 Custom Carved Dice With Free Artwork Prep (product 256)
- Your pricing notes move free artwork prep from the 25-piece tier to the 50-piece tier. If that's still the plan, this listing's title and copy change at cutover.
#100 · Watermelon Dice, Set of 2 D6 (product 2721)
- This dice-only listing is in the 'Dice Bags' category on the live site. Probably shouldn't be, since the bag is a separate set.
#102 · No Bones Day Dice, Set of 2 - D6 (product 269)
- What's on each side (how many bones faces vs no-bones faces)?
#107 · Custom Rune Dice, Set of 4 - D6 (product 265)
- Made to order; how long? (Not in Ready to Ship.)
#108 · Tentacle Dice / Set of 2 - D6 (product 229)
- Not in Ready to Ship on the live site. Made to order? How long?
#109 · Random Pips Dice - 20 pieces (product 6339)
- The live listing says the sides are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 (no 6, a 7 instead). Kept as written; is that on purpose?
- '8 white with white ink': should that be white dice with a different ink?
