Dunno, I think they were a giveaway at one of the GenCons. Try looking on any online gaming supply page, like RPG.net.

And this one is not an admin post. Those dice aren't from FanPro LLC ... they might be a FanPro GmbH promo [or regular] item, but if they're not, I have no idea as to the source.

You could probably convince someone who's into miniatures and models to make you some. Looks like it could be done with some little carving tools, a magnifying glass and a pair of steady hands.

Some friends of mine got those... I think they were sold for a limited time only, GenCon or something, but don't know precisely where. They aren't sold anymore, though.
They predate the time where FanPro took over Shadowrun, they got them when FASA was still around, IIRC. Bye Thanee |

Don't see why someone doesn't just make some and sell them? A friend was looking at casting his own metal dice at one point, but when he tried to weight a couple of the dice and ended up melting a hole in them.... he gave up.

Although I'd never violate copyright laws, this thread has inspired me to try customizing my own dice with some tiny sharp knives and paint. Wish my fingers luck.

There are products out there called photoetching kits. You print the image you want with special film, then apply the film to the object you want then put the object in a chemical solution. After a few seconds the soultion will etch the design into plastics and thin metals. They are generally used for models. The kits are rather exspensive. But if you know a model maker or a pro etcher they may have the stuff handy already.
A former engraver friend is helping me turn drawings into etchings for my armor. Its a pretty quick process, plastics are really quick. Its handy for making designs for 25mm minis also. EDIT: Oh, and you wont have to be ran tot eh hospital with an exacto knife lodged in your finger. |

Although it probably violates some copyright somewhere Chessex offers custom dice that could easily be done with that logo.
Chessex Custom Dice I wonder if we could pool a bunch of people to get permission to use the logo on a run of these. |

The logo is on the 6 if I remember right. It's been years since Ive seen these. Can't remember if it was me or a gaming buddy that had them.
