Printable Castle Dice Tower

I am always on the lookout for papercraft dice towers. Found one! This printable tower is in the form of a castle (quite appropriate for medieval themed RPG games that make use of dice). Dice are dropped in the top and, by way of baffles inside, the dice are neatly rolled without falling off the table. The pattern for the tower was created by Marc Vela and may be downloaded here. Instructions are available in Spanish only.

Collapsible Papercraft Dice Tower

Tim Schutz, an indie game designer from the Pacific Northwest, created this papercraft dice tower to offer as a free download on his website. According to Schutz, the tower "folds flat and can be stored inside your favorite game or in a 6x9 envelope". Nice! The PDF template for the tower may be downloaded here. Hey! How did those pigs get in the photo? ^^

Papercraft Warmachine RPG Dice Tower

Warmachine is a steampunk themed tabletop wargame that makes use of a D20 role-playing game system. Warmachine fan Apocyphim created this papercraft dice tower to use with the game in an attempt to improve his "uncanny record of below average dice rolls." ^^ The PDF template for the dice tower may be downloaded here.

Heroscape Dice Bowl Papercraft

In the Heroscape miniatures board game by Hasbro, players may roll as many as 12 dice at a time to determine the outcome of a battle. To keep the numerous dice corralled between rolls, Heroscape enthusiast "AliasQTip" created this unique papercraft dice bowl. The images inside the bowl are meant to resemble a dungeon, while the outside resembles castle walls emblazoned with crests from the Heroscape game. A PDF template of the dice bowl is available at the Heroscapers.com website here. (In a previous post of mine here, you will find a Heroscape dice tower which matches the bowl)

Heroscape Papercraft Dice Tower

One of my favorite board games of all time is Heroscape. Heroscape is a customizable miniature gaming system that lets you build your own battlefields and create custom armies from a wide assortment of characters such as dragons, secret agents, robots, samurai, vikings, aliens, cowboys and orcs. You can imagine my delight when I found something that combines two of my favorite things: papercraft and Heroscape. This papercraft dice tower was created by a Heroscape enthusiast for use with the game and contains nice touches such as some surprise images on the baffles inside the tower that can be seen when looking down though the hole in the top. The template for the tower may be downloaded here.

Foamcore Dice Tower

Well, it's not made out of paper, but it's close. At Instructables.com I found instructions on how to build a dice tower and decided to make one for myself. This particular tower is constructed using black foamcore, toothpicks, self-adhesive felt, and some glue. I didn't follow the instructions exactly. For one, I thought it looked nice enough without spray painting the whole thing as the original designer did. Also for quieter use, I applied felt to all the baffles inside the tower and not only to the tray at the bottom. Easy to follow instructions and a short video of the tower in action may be found here.

Single Page Paper Dice Tower

When playing board games where rolling more than two dice is required, a dice tower comes in handy to keep the dice from ending up on the floor or scattering the game setup. In 2008 designer Russell Howell created a dice tower that can be printed on a single sheet of cardstock and assembled without glue. I used red cardstock for mine to add some color. The tower template may be downloaded here. An optional dice catcher tray extension to allow more dice to be rolled at once may be downloaded here. The green dice shown in the photo are special edition dice from the Heroscape gaming system.
