Kingbeast's Lair

My current keychain is getting old so I decided I wanted one with an RPG dice on it.? After looking around the web I found a site that had some details on making your own.? The site is in a blog by Cory.? I used his guidance to come up with three keychains of my own.? Here is what I learned.

Supplies

• Dice
• Variable Speed Drill
• Drill Bit – 5/64″
• Eye Hooks – I went to Orchard Supply Hardware and bought Screw Eyes (Small) 11/16″ (part number 9040106) for $0.59.
• Epoxy

Instructions

1. Measure the depth of the hole you will need.? Make sure the hole covers all of the thread exposing only very little of the bar.
2. Mark the drill bit with tape so you drill to the correct depth.
3. Set the drill to a low speed.? I used setting 2 on my drill which has 24 speed settings.? Go carefully as the dice may try to spin out of your hands.? Also dice are very brittle and will crack easily.
4. Drill the hole in any number.? I found that 8 is a good number to drill as the center of the 8 acts as a guide for the bit.
5. Put a dab of epoxy on the threads of the eye hook and place them into the hole.? With these settings the eye hook should actually slide in without binding.? I found that this works better after breaking a few dice trying to thread them.? 😉
6. Let dry.
7. That’s it!? 😀

I added a new TIAM character sheet to the site. You can find it on the File Downloads page in the TIAM section. It is in PDF format but it is not a PDF form. I am actually working on a very fancy PDF form version now. 😉

This version has several minor tweaks as well as the following changes:

• Made changes to how the Language skill works. This includes use of the Hero Games language chart.
• Added Streetwise.
• Clarified how the Tongues talent will work.
• Added clarification on healing wounds.

You can get it using the TIAM link on the left pane of the main page. Enjoy! 🙂
