Free instructions will be added to rebrickable soon.
Edit: Instructions are live! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-86058/Pattspatt/self-loading-dice-tower/#details
It can be used as an old-fashioned dice tower too - just drop ‘em in from the top.
The trap door at the top has a delay before it drops, which helps make sure the dice don’t get to the bottom before the loading “courtyard”.

@op I can hardly wait for instructions.

I don't play tabletop games, but that is fucking awesome. I wish I had an excuse to use it anyway.

I don't get it. It's not super fast with tons of information presented in a quick manner, and it also doesn't have a cup.
jannemank
Fantastic! The delayed trapdoor is a very nice detail, and I like how the dice get cast without any hand touching them!
distractedFreek
I'd make the base a little bigger towards the back to prevent tipping if you pull the lever too hard.
DoubleOhRed
My son is joining my husband and I for his first D&D session on Monday. Hoping instructions come out tomorrow or Monday to built it

Do I store this under Lego or DnD?!

I never got around to sorting my favorites. Can one favorite be in multiple folders?

I've been looking for a good dice tower. Seriously considering this. Please update with instructions.
pattspatt
Will do!

Please update me when instructions are available I'll legit go out and buy every piece I need for this masterpiece.
Lichelf
Feels like you could already get started now if you wanted.
Nixeras
Yes but without instructions the pieces would be meaningless.
Lichelf
But you can go secure them now so they're ready once you get the instructions.

Thank you, this is gonna be awesome and then I can pretend I know how to build things when my players ask.

At least OP made the effort to show the required pieces.

Op truly delivers.. to be honest, I've searched rebrickable every day since I saw the post for "dice tower".. found it a few hours ago. :-)
ElbowDeepInATshirt
Also - thank you VERY much! This will be perfect for Blood Bowl for me and my son! :-)
ElbowDeepInATshirt
That whole 'let's skip how to actually build the trap door' is making it quite a challanging build! :-D
pattspatt
Those photos should be there - what step are you getting stuck on?
ElbowDeepInATshirt
Img_7508 doesn't seem to have a how-to..
ElbowDeepInATshirt
Between image 7508 and 7539 there seems to be quite a gap..
pattspatt
Weird! Yep, there shouldn’t be a gap there: /a/S1II5On

My DM would call it an illegal roll.
PresumablyPyro
Your DM sounds lame

My guess would be the lack of smooth surfaces to bounce off of. Lego bumps make it harder to see loaded dice
badatediting
If your DM even suspects loaded dice, that's a reason to find a new group
underwaterscubaminer
It's against the very nature of D&D to try and cheat with loaded dice...
BrockEffingSamson
Yep. Trying to "win" at a game you can only win by enjoying tre experience.
ConsumingHate
After further review, could also be the fact there arent more levels to bounce off of on the way down
PhilipJFryIII
Make it taller and add a level to bounce off
Lemunas62
Yeah, more likely it just doesn't really roll the dice well enough just kinda slides them
DreamOnFire
The rolls each time were 1-6-19, 2 3 11, 1 6 still spinning, 3 7 12, 4 7 17 and 5 11 20. Seems pretty random so far.
Quelkaima
If you're concerned about rolls not being random enough, you could swap out some of the bricks on the front of the tower w/ angled ones. 1/2
zenprime
I've never actually witnessed loaded dice. Liars and math cheats, yes, but no bad dice. Beginning to think it's just an grognard's tale.
SillySnowFox
My brother has a set, they're pretty obvious though (one is only 5s, the other is 2s and 6s)
SenfinaZeit
You may have seen unbalanced dice before but that would be manufacturers error probably not intentional.
CakeShapedPie
I knew a guy who worked at LGS and rolled dice between customers to find ones that rolled high or low.
ScanlansLongLostThirdChild
If you're playing D&D with people who make you worry about loaded dice, you're playing D&D with the wrong people.
feldemon
I was DM for a one shot and accidentally killed the players in the first encounter cause I was rolling so well. Turns out the dice I was 1/2
feldemon
borrowing were loaded dice they got as a gag gift. Really shocked the players and I. Max damage crits each turn. We laugh about it now 2/2
DecoyTheDad
I am truly looking forward to the instructions.

The instructions have too many photos for an imgur album.

A true lego fan could do it from just the picture on the box.

Tsamane
Think you could build the lego lambo without instructions?
ILikeRespondingWithWillSmithGifs
I could get pretty close.. would like the challenge actually.
Tsamane
Think the hardest part would be get the internal mechanism done properly.
ILikeRespondingWithWillSmithGifs
Holy Crap! I never noticed your posts.. I feel you’d be the person for the jobs
