Improvised Dice Tower | Slinky + bulldog clips

Nothing too exciting here.  

Have been working from home for about 2 weeks now and decided to improvise a dice tower from a slinky and some bulldog clips:

Version 1

Slinky dice tower v1

The bulldog clip at the exit to the tunnel has been added by removing the arm from the bulldog clip, looping it through the slinky and reattaching the arm. This adds weight.

Version 2

Slinky dice tower v2

Same as version 1, but the bulldog clip at the end of the tunnel is looped over another bulldog clip on another cup. This stretches out the tunnel a little more.

Version 3 

I’ve not made this yet, but in theory, the slinky could be stretched so that to form a U-shape and the dice falls through a gap/hole at the bottom of the U.

Collaborative Audio Dungeon II | locations 11 to 20

During my self-imposed blogging break over Christmas, I started an Anchor podcast.

Anyway, I recently thought it would be neat to make a collaborative ‘Audio Dungeon’, so here is Part II.

The idea being that people leave an audio message of 1 minute or less (preferably using the Anchor record feature) detailing something found in a fantasy dungeon (whatever that means to you), e.g. room, location, encounter, statue, fresco etc.

If you are interested you can find out more (and record a message) here:

Rules (for want of a better word):

  •  By making a submission you agree to make the content Creative Commons
  •  The message is for a fantasy dungeon
  •  Each message is 1 minute or shorter
  •  It’s probably useful to think of the submission as the audio equivalent of ‘box text’
If I get enough of these audio submissions, I’ll pull them together as a Creative Commons Audio Dungeon. I’m imagining a dungeon of audio ‘box text’ which people can them populate with their own encounters, perhaps from random tables.
At least one listener has pointed out that while this idea is fun in its own right, it might also be a helpful resource for anyone with a visual impairment/disability.
