@@Rybonator I know I'm a bit late with colour suggestions but would it be possible to use glow-in-the-dark ink with these? If you could make one with glowy purple or teal tendrils, it'd be an awesome spore druid die!

Petri dish is fun and easy. The learning curve is small definitely there but small. Once you've mastered it, you can experiment like dragging a toothpick through it :P. Different curing times, using metallics (there's tricks to that), different alcohol ink brands, inclusions, different shaped mould etc.
Petri dish dice? I can definitely get down with the sickness. This was certainly not what I was expecting when I clicked on this video. I want so many of these dice, but I would never be able to use these dice because I would just end up holding up the game while I got lost staring into my dice. The purple and gold D20 has to be my absolute favourite, and it certainly doesn't hurt that my favourite colour is purple.
A video on the bare bones, least expensive way to make dice that aren't perfect but usable would be amazing. I think a pressure pot and stuff aren't accessable to a lot of people and that makes them not want to try dice making because it looks too involved. Dice making is a fun hobby and I'd love to see more people try it!
You can buy a bare bones kit for about $35 at Michaels (and they almost always have 20% off sales running). You get 16oz resin, a mold (you choose the shape), 3-4 alcohol inks (you choose color set), and a "filler" (various glitter, confetti, etc). The only things I bought before starting were silicone tools (measuring cup, stirrer). I've gotten A LOT more since, but that's cause that little kit was enough to get me hooked.
There are a LOT of variables with the petri effect, I have a whole video on it here th-cam.com/video/NWjqQLFpzzY/w-d-xo.html The main one is the amount of time you wait after pouring the resin and adding the alcohol ink, which is different for every brand of resin.
I watched that video! It was super interesting and definitely worth a look for anyone considering trying this method. Question for you: have you ever tried mixing the white alcohol ink with another colour before adding them? It seems to me that the pigments in the white are heavier than in most other inks, so whenever you add too much white (or add it at the wrong time) it drips through the resin and leaves white splotches on the bottom. I'm thinking by pre-mixing them, you could wind up with a heavier pigmented colour, and if it settled on the bottom it'd at least be a coloured splotch instead of a white one. Would this work, or would they just separate out again?
A possible suggestion for a future video? I recently discovered the ancient Royal Game of Ur and instead of buying a game, I want to build it. What I would like to learn is, how to pour the four, D4 dice needed with no numbers BUT....with two white(or off-color)corners. Yea, I could paint the corners but well...you know. lol It would be awesome to be able to pour the corners , then the rest in a 'nail polish color' called ''Vamp'', which a red base with a thin black overcoat, so the red 'bleeds' through like an under-painting and then two bright red corner tips on each one and also, the game requires seven, alternate colored, 2-sided 'backgammon' markers with 5 dots on one side, per player. Thanks for any help and keep up the good work with the awesome videos!
I find it funny that I watch all of these videos of yours despite being unable to make most of them myself (due to money). Just looks so fun and I hope to sometime make my own set of dice in the future
I would start making dice but I can't have one more awesome hobby or I will never afford food anymore. Thank you for your videos, at least I can watch you make them!
I have had horrible experiences with people when it came to playing D&D, but I love watching Dice Making. I found you a couple days ago and I have been binging non-stop. Thank you for your work, I find it very relaxing.
I have so much more respect for you than I already had before after reading your description. I always like to support creators and use any affiliated links, and I'm so glad you said what you said about the mica flakes. Serious props man, that's fucking awesome !
Holy crud! The moment I saw the first image of how these days turned out, I knew I had to watch this video. These are some absolutely gorgeous dice! I’m really excited to try this out when I eventually get a pressure pot!
Thank you for making these videos. They calm me so much, and are just entertaining. About a week ago, I was starting to have a panic attack. I popped one of your videos on and calmed down before you even popped out the dice. Again, thank you.
This absolutely made my night Lazy Beans :) I am so glad that I can help be a positive force for you. I hope you are having an absolutely wonderful day, and feeling much better now.
Two D20 looks I would loooove to see for the warlock dice are: Warlock Pact of the ArchFey: transparent glitter green with yellow tendrils Warlock Pact of the Genii: Various shades of blue and white
Your videos have been a huge inspiration. I watched all of your videos before I got myself a little workspace set up in a grow tent to vent the fumes outside, and started making dice maybe 6 or 7 months ago. I've made 3 and I don't think they would have come out nearly as nice as they did if I didn't binge watch your tutorials beforehand. I got a mold and a large assortment of mica powders from DruidDice to work with, and even ordered a new one with 2 sets of frame inserts. We'll see how those go - but I think it'll go relatively smoothly thanks to your tutorials. I've been busy with work (and a lack of motivation due to mental health) so I haven't made any dice in a while. I'm getting that itch again though, so I've been re-watching your dice making videos for some ideas and inspiration for my own sets. So I just want to say thank you for all the work that put into making these dice, and these videos. I truly would not have been able to do this without your guidance.
I was trying to find a good way to make a Venom dice set for my brother that looks like the symbiote encased in glass look. This method seems perfect. Thank you!
Something I've done with the alcohol ink is using a solid metallic ink instead of the white. It works just as well and it gives your pieces more shimmer
These are awesome. Honestly probably the second die type ive seen i actually like but the other vids were amazing just for the knowledge of knowing of how something might turn out b4 dumpin money/time into. "They do the work so u dont have tooooooooo!" Or something like that.
If you just buy the resin and molds and sand paper it's pretty affordable. You don't NEED to go all out and do a pressure pot and have expensive additives. It cost me about 30$ to get small batch resin mix and some molds. Thats really all you need to get started.
@@phil2377 to be fair you can get large quantities of resin and molds off of amazon if you want to create your own style you could always get some clay fill a sacrificial mold then let it harden and carve out the style of letter/number you want. A pressure pot is easy enough to make you can find plenty of videos here on youtube and finding sales at places like tractor supply or harbor freight(I am in southern US store names may be different around you) make it relatively cheap as you don't need to buy it all at once to build it. I am working towards it now myself.
Currently teaching myself how to sew and this video is a very nice reminder that failures are a part of the process and are totally okay! I love your positive attitude and spirit, thanks for another great video
just an idea: it might be advantageous to swirl a small amount of already thickening clean resin around the mould, to coat the insde of the mould. that would give the final product a nice, uniform, clear layer on the outside. it would prvent any ink from sticking to the moulld, and would also help to compensate for it, when some spots dont quite cure perfectly.
Saying each video that each new project is your favourite thing that you made is actually fantastic, it means you’re growing as a creator, honing your craft and improving with every project! I hope you keep on thinking every new thing you make is the best, that’s just progress 💕 I can’t wait to see your next project. Warlocks for me will always be deep purple and black, I’m basic, I know 😌
I haven't tried the petri method before because I thought I would need a specific white ink, not regular alcohol ink..... And now that I learnt that I am wrong I don't have any resin left to try it.... So frustrating !! xD Thanks for the video Ryan, it's super cool and I can't wait to try this !
I'm so going to have to try this method when i have the spare cash to start making dice. I already found the pressure pot and my bf has an air compressor and I get paid next week do its finally time to start! Warlock colors can really depend on the patron. Dark one has a very purple, red, black feel but a Fey patron would be more green, blue, and purple. So basically purple to some extent haha.
These dice are growing on me! I can't handle the viral load of how awesome these dice look. I'm feeling sick at the thought that I don't own a set of dice like these. *smirk*
Awesomeee!! I really love the purple one, it turned out sooo good!! That one is totally my fav color scheme for a warlock, all purpleish and golden 😍 I do have a warlock and I painted the mini myself with a friend's help (was my first time painting a mini and turned out nice!) and I painted her coat purple, and her clothes blue, white and silver, but now I wish I used more gold like this dice!
Ahhh I've been waiting for a warlock themed set since I started watching your channel, in fact it was the first comment I ever left for you and that you replied to. My vote is for a pitch black and eldritch green with a touch of silver maybe, to really capture the dark tapestry of the void with a hint of sinister nebula like green and silver for the implication of stars.
that purple die has me SHOOK man!!!!! my dnd character that i hope to play someday is a purple tiefling who i want to eventually double-class as rogue/warlock, so it would be absolutely perfect for her!
This dice style does look really cool. As far as colours go for warlocks well that really depends on the patron. So here are some examples: Fiend Warlock : Red and Black. The expected colour combination but it's a classic for a reason. Arch Fey Warlock: A light green mixed with white. Great Old One Warlock: Dark Green mixed with black. Celestial: Gold and White. I think this one in particular would look cool. Hexblade: Silver and Black. Not sure if silver would work but the silver for the metal of the blade and black for the necromantic abilities it brings. Undying Warlock: It's undying so no one cares. For real though maybe a simple white and black. Not sure if that would even work but it could look quite striking.
you should pick a eldritch being to make the dice around because depending on what one you choose you can get a wide range of color schemes associated with them.
Hearing you say "Auric Armor Gold" is like the dice making version of Bob Ross saying "Titanium White": I know it's gonna happen, but it never gets old
Both the dice tray and the dice themselves look really good! With that last purple one for the Warlock class set, why not lean into the purple and gold, maybe pull in some silver or grey and make them a celestial Warlock? You've already got a base that has that really dark purple and the lightening effect from the petri dish effect, so it could be really cool.
I think red and black would definitely look cool for a warlock set, and while not for a warlock, I also think a set with some neons would be really cool for a wild magic sorcerer.
I know this was the probably the hardest method yet, but congratulations! I think this is my favorite piece you’ve made! I’m dying to try it out for myself!!! Thank you so much for this video!
these look sooooo good!! i’m really interested to see what a wizard set might look like - perhaps a red/yellow and white combo for a fireball sort of look? that would look awesome. :) also I really just want to thank you for all the amazing content you put out, not to mention how you actually highlight your mistakes as a “what NOT to do” for others. I actually just got a pressure pot yesterday and I’m so excited to try out all kinds of color combos and amazing things!
Oh we HAVE to have some fireball stuff for the wizards :) Also thank you Kelsey! I'm glad you like what I do :) can't wait to see what you end up creating! Send pics 😁
Imagine how cool a big d20 would look Also cool you mix glitter like you did with bard dice into this This would be so cool for fireball or lightning dice
I've been wanting to try this technique since I got into petri dish resin stuff. I only have normal sized die molds but I can't wait to try this out tonight.
So I found this channel yesterday and I'm so glad I did. I have a couple questions when it comes to dice making. So the first question is, once I've poured the resin into the mold, do I just leave it on the side or does it need to be in heated area? Secondly, does the resin need to be mixed within five minutes? I was not planning on buying a pressure pot until I was a little more experienced, so I thought if I gently mixed for 6 or 7minutes, it would be well mixed with less bubbles? Finally, I know you need to mix equal parts of part A and B when mixing the resin. Do I mix the alcohol ink into one part or do I put it into the already mixed parts? Similarly can I mix white mica powder into resin coloured with alcohol ink to get that shiny math rock look? I know that's a lot to read but any help from anyone will be appreciated :)
To prevent the alcohol ink from reaching the sides, it might help to tip your mold in each direction to coat the sides with resin before adding the ink. Not sure if this would work, it's just what came to mind when I saw it. Thanks for the video! I'm hoping to mess with this technique soon (if I can ever get my masters to print right), so now I can hopefully avoid some of these problems!
Watching dice making videos ignites a desire in me. I feel like if I stare at them too long my pupils will dilate like a cat's when they see something they want. I only have one set of dice and my inner goblin yearns for more!
Oh gosh I LOVE the purple die (not because its purple or anything lol). The gold suits it perfectly since they're complimentary colors. My dice goblin brain is happy :D
Surely the color of the warlock dice would have to depend on the patron. An archfey warlock you could use greens to get a nice tangled forest look. Maybe some pink for contrast. Pact of the Great Old one with a lot of sea greens and blacks.
The colors would depend on the patron, make a couple, deep blue for the great old one, vibrant green for the archfey, and finish this set for the new Genie warlock!
Warlock Dice: Overall Black in color with glitter to act as stars with Ectoplasmic Green for the petri style tendrils. I recommend a Deep Blood Red for the numbers or maybe some glow in the dark pigment with some mica powder mixed in.
I saw a cool trick for getting air bubbles out of a mold recently. Use a reciprocating saw without the blade and hold it against the mold. Granted this was with cement in a guitar mold. But it could be a cool experiment with dice.
Would love to see a Dice Goblin 'Coin' dump mould - something simple - they could be simple single sided coins, or if you really wanted to double down on the coin thing, could just glue two together back to back. They'd make awesome tokens or gifts and the more unique they are, the better! the bases are cool and all, but i imagine you will get to a point one day where you have more bases than models..
This would be great if used minimalistically on a druid dice set. You could have a whole mushroom themed dice set. Use some brown and white petri for some mushrooms and play around with the base. Either a spotty soil coloured base or perhaps some layered striping to give the effect of a rotted wooden log.
I think a jade green or ultramarine blue would be great for a warlock set. I would ink the jade version with a copper or bronze color, and the ultramarine with maybe magenta or something similar. Great video!
i really want to start making dice aswell, it looks like so much fun and i started to get a dice obsession too so this would satisfy that needing desire of having more dice
I am starting to believe that the die he makes are based off of puns he came up with and not the other way around
Write some puns, THEN make the dice to match. It's the Rybonator way
No joke, when I homebrew items I do the exact same thing. 90% of my ideas seem to be stupid titles with a play on words that I fashion into an actual item after the fact
@@Rybonator might as well change your name to Rypunator

That one is totally my fav color scheme for a warlock, all purpleish and golden 😍 I do have a warlock and I painted the mini myself with a friend's help (was my first time painting a mini and turned out nice!) and I painted her coat purple, and her clothes blue, white and silver, but now I wish I used more gold like this dice!
Purple and gold are the colors of royalty ;)
Ahhh I've been waiting for a warlock themed set since I started watching your channel, in fact it was the first comment I ever left for you and that you replied to.
My vote is for a pitch black and eldritch green with a touch of silver maybe, to really capture the dark tapestry of the void with a hint of sinister nebula like green and silver for the implication of stars.
Oh I'm digging that idea for sure :) It's time I try and finally finish your request! :)
that purple die has me SHOOK man!!!!! my dnd character that i hope to play someday is a purple tiefling who i want to eventually double-class as rogue/warlock, so it would be absolutely perfect for her!
I really appreciate you sharing your mistakes as well as your successes!
Thanks Abby :) I am glad people find that helpful!
these are by far the coolest ones you have made or i have even seen
Thanks Donald! I'm glad you like them :)
This dice style does look really cool. As far as colours go for warlocks well that really depends on the patron. So here are some examples:
Fiend Warlock : Red and Black. The expected colour combination but it's a classic for a reason.
Arch Fey Warlock: A light green mixed with white.
Great Old One Warlock: Dark Green mixed with black.
Celestial: Gold and White. I think this one in particular would look cool.
Hexblade: Silver and Black. Not sure if silver would work but the silver for the metal of the blade and black for the necromantic abilities it brings.
Undying Warlock: It's undying so no one cares. For real though maybe a simple white and black. Not sure if that would even work but it could look quite striking.
Really appreciating knowing what not to do, and why. Thanks for these lessons!
you should pick a eldritch being to make the dice around because depending on what one you choose you can get a wide range of color schemes associated with them.
Hearing you say "Auric Armor Gold" is like the dice making version of Bob Ross saying "Titanium White": I know it's gonna happen, but it never gets old
Both the dice tray and the dice themselves look really good! With that last purple one for the Warlock class set, why not lean into the purple and gold, maybe pull in some silver or grey and make them a celestial Warlock? You've already got a base that has that really dark purple and the lightening effect from the petri dish effect, so it could be really cool.
This style would look so good for an ocean themed dice set (if the strands were coral or kelp)!!!
I click in the video for the puns, I stay for the good content
"Gotta real em in with the puns!" - Gandi or something
I think red and black would definitely look cool for a warlock set, and while not for a warlock, I also think a set with some neons would be really cool for a wild magic sorcerer.
Oh yeah, if I could get some holographic almost, then a wild magic sorc would be killer!
At some point I would love to try and make a set of dice but I'm more than happy watching you create the amazing pieces of art
I know this was the probably the hardest method yet, but congratulations! I think this is my favorite piece you’ve made! I’m dying to try it out for myself!!! Thank you so much for this video!
these look sooooo good!! i’m really interested to see what a wizard set might look like - perhaps a red/yellow and white combo for a fireball sort of look? that would look awesome. :)
also I really just want to thank you for all the amazing content you put out, not to mention how you actually highlight your mistakes as a “what NOT to do” for others. I actually just got a pressure pot yesterday and I’m so excited to try out all kinds of color combos and amazing things!
Oh we HAVE to have some fireball stuff for the wizards :)
Also thank you Kelsey! I'm glad you like what I do :) can't wait to see what you end up creating! Send pics 😁
I adore purple dice I'm so excited to see what you make!
Imagine how cool a big d20 would look
Also cool you mix glitter like you did with bard dice into this
This would be so cool for fireball or lightning dice
Always fun to add more glitter! 😁
I've been wanting to try this technique since I got into petri dish resin stuff. I only have normal sized die molds but I can't wait to try this out tonight.
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes :)
@@Rybonator Will do!
So I found this channel yesterday and I'm so glad I did. I have a couple questions when it comes to dice making. So the first question is, once I've poured the resin into the mold, do I just leave it on the side or does it need to be in heated area?
Secondly, does the resin need to be mixed within five minutes? I was not planning on buying a pressure pot until I was a little more experienced, so I thought if I gently mixed for 6 or 7minutes, it would be well mixed with less bubbles?
Finally, I know you need to mix equal parts of part A and B when mixing the resin. Do I mix the alcohol ink into one part or do I put it into the already mixed parts? Similarly can I mix white mica powder into resin coloured with alcohol ink to get that shiny math rock look?
I know that's a lot to read but any help from anyone will be appreciated :)
I don’t even play DND but I love watching you make dice idk why
The final die looks gorgeous! And the puns...oh the puns!
To prevent the alcohol ink from reaching the sides, it might help to tip your mold in each direction to coat the sides with resin before adding the ink. Not sure if this would work, it's just what came to mind when I saw it.
Thanks for the video! I'm hoping to mess with this technique soon (if I can ever get my masters to print right), so now I can hopefully avoid some of these problems!
4:08 woah what a voicecrack XD, i really love your videos!
I am just a 12 year old boi inside still :(
Also thank you lol
@@Rybonator whaaaat, I have never gotten a reply from a youtuber \o/, this video really did make my day thank you
Watching dice making videos ignites a desire in me. I feel like if I stare at them too long my pupils will dilate like a cat's when they see something they want. I only have one set of dice and my inner goblin yearns for more!
Oh gosh I LOVE the purple die (not because its purple or anything lol). The gold suits it perfectly since they're complimentary colors. My dice goblin brain is happy :D
Surely the color of the warlock dice would have to depend on the patron.
An archfey warlock you could use greens to get a nice tangled forest look. Maybe some pink for contrast.
Pact of the Great Old one with a lot of sea greens and blacks.
Given the "brain" that the last die had, as well as the color, I think it's a perfect die for a Psychic/Psionic character.
I feel like I've found a secret little side of youtube and I LOVE IT
Come join the dice making rabbit hole of TH-cam haha
The colors would depend on the patron, make a couple, deep blue for the great old one, vibrant green for the archfey, and finish this set for the new Genie warlock!
We use fire to get bubbles off of real agar plates as well.
Oh really? I had no idea haha
Hey Rybonator!! I’ve watched almost all your videos, and I’m actually about to go buy myself some resin lol. More hobbies!
That's awesome Hufflepuff! (Slytherin is the one true house :p. ) Can't wait to see what you make :)
It kinda reminds me of an eldrich flame. Super cool!
Oh absolutely! 😁 Thanks Nintenja!
Warlock Dice: Overall Black in color with glitter to act as stars with Ectoplasmic Green for the petri style tendrils.
I recommend a Deep Blood Red for the numbers or maybe some glow in the dark pigment with some mica powder mixed in.
I saw a cool trick for getting air bubbles out of a mold recently. Use a reciprocating saw without the blade and hold it against the mold.
Granted this was with cement in a guitar mold. But it could be a cool experiment with dice.
Would love to see a Dice Goblin 'Coin' dump mould - something simple - they could be simple single sided coins, or if you really wanted to double down on the coin thing, could just glue two together back to back. They'd make awesome tokens or gifts and the more unique they are, the better! the bases are cool and all, but i imagine you will get to a point one day where you have more bases than models..
Found your tutorial vids and binge-watched them all. Just made my first set of dice, they suck but I'm hooked. Thanks for all of the great info!
This would be great if used minimalistically on a druid dice set. You could have a whole mushroom themed dice set. Use some brown and white petri for some mushrooms and play around with the base. Either a spotty soil coloured base or perhaps some layered striping to give the effect of a rotted wooden log.
I think a jade green or ultramarine blue would be great for a warlock set. I would ink the jade version with a copper or bronze color, and the ultramarine with maybe magenta or something similar. Great video!
it depends on your patron. a local community game had a player whose patron was santa, with levels in bard, and would sing christmas songs to cast
This is so cool!!! The purple and gold is perfect!
That last die you made is CLEAN
i think this is the coolest method you've done yet!
I must say, your puns make you a cultured man.
Watching your videos make me wish I had more free time and the talent to make things that don’t involve blender or general game design.
i really want to start making dice aswell, it looks like so much fun and i started to get a dice obsession too so this would satisfy that needing desire of having more dice
i think a redo of the black one now that you know what you are doing with this would be super cool
