Timekeeper
Mounted on an ornate gear stand — a miniature time engine for your table. Spin it and let the whole group stop and stare.

Chrono GearRoll from d4 to d20 — by turning gears.
A 6-in-1 mechanical metal dice roller for tabletop RPGs. Spin a gear, let it stop, read your result — quieter than a handful of dice, and it stays exactly where you set it.

What is it
A dice bag, condensed
into one mechanism
Chrono Gear is a steampunk-inspired metal roller that replaces your entire dice bag — and looks good enough to leave on the shelf between sessions. Same ritual as rolling, far less table noise.
01
One mechanism, every die
A single wheel covers the common polyhedral dice — d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 — so there's no bag to dig through mid-game.
02
Quiet, and it stays put
Gears spin in place instead of bouncing, so rolls are quieter and nothing skitters off the edge of the table.
03
Built to be displayed
Heavy zinc-alloy body with antique-style plating. A showpiece for your shelf, dice altar, or streaming setup.
Three editions
One for every table
The same gear mechanism, shaped for how you play.
Handheld
Voyager
The stand removed and the wheel balanced for the pocket. Hold it like an old compass and flick the rim with your thumb.
Gear d6
Cube
What a d6 looks like after an industrial revolution. Six faces, six independent gear dials. Pick a face, spin, read.
How it works
Roll by
turning time
1
Pick your die
Each gear is marked with its polyhedral icon and a numbered ring — d4 through d20.
2
Spin the gear
Flick the chosen gear so the mechanism runs free.
3
Wait for the stop
When it slows and settles, read the number aligned with the indicator.
4
Roll again
For advantage or multiple dice, spin again — or chain several gears in sequence.
How it compares
Dice-bag function.
Mechanical presence.
We played with plenty of metal dice, towers and trays first. Chrono Gear stands apart by turning the roll itself into one contained, display-worthy mechanism.
Traditional diceGrab and toss a handful of loose pieces every time.

Carry & collectA full set is a loose bag of plastic or metal.
One objectA single solid piece in three collectible metal Ages.
Three ages of civilization
Bronze. Silver. Golden.
Each finish is plated and aged to its own personality — pick the era your table belongs to.
Excavated relic
Bronze Age
A warm, weathered tone that looks dug from a ruin — subtle aging and patina.
Arcane instrument
Silver Age
Bright, cool, and precise — like alchemical laboratory equipment.
Imperial relic
Golden Age
A rich, radiant finish at the empire's peak. The one people ask you about.
Down to the last gear
Cast, machined,
and aged by hand
Each wheel is metal-cast and its gears machined to spin smooth and free, then antique-plated by hand. Up close, every tooth, shaft and numbered ring stays sharp enough to read at a glance.

FAQ
Before the
wheel turns
When does it launch?+
Chrono Gear is launching soon on Kickstarter. Subscribers get launch timing and early-bird details first.
Which dice does the wheel cover?+
The wheel is designed for the common polyhedral set — d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. The final dial layout is locked once production samples are confirmed.
How random are the results?+
The gear mechanism is tested for smooth, free spinning and even stopping, giving randomness comparable to traditional dice while staying in place on the table.
Will it hit retail later?+
Kickstarter backers receive Chrono Gear first. Any future retail release would only be announced after backers are fulfilled.
