Dicemaker
Also called ‘daserii’, dicemakers are characters
who make dice for a living. Playing dice is the
most popular gaming pastime. Dice are carved from
bone. Daily wages are typically 6 s.p.

Guild: Dicemakers’ Guild. Each apprentice
must serve 9 years, and masters are limited to
having no more than 2 apprentices at once. A masterpiece
must be produced to become a journeyman.
Once an apprentice for 9 years, they may
make a skill check as they craft their masterpiece. If
passed at TH 36, then they become a journeyman.
If failed, then they may begin crafting another masterpiece
and make another skill check in 1d10 days.
The Aedile may overrule any masterpiece skill check,
because those in the guild who review the apprentice
may dislike them or choose to keep them as an
apprentice for some corrupt reason.
For a journeyman to become a master, they
must be able financially to open their own shop,
and receive the approval of the guild. To receive
approval, they must pass a Persuasion skill check.
The TH begins at 30 and is decreased by 1 for every
period of 6 months in which the journeyman has
worked locally with the guild. The Aedile may overrule
this skill check or apply any modifier deemed
appropriate.
Members are forbidden from importing dice
from other dicemakers. The only way that larger
cities can support a dicemakers’ guild is to emphasize
exporting dice. Any dicemaker who makes
loaded, marked, or clipped dice must pay a fine of
100 s.p. No trademark is allowed on dice. This
guild mandates that the following numbers must be
on opposite sides of the cube: 1 and 6, 2 and 5, and
3 and 4. Also, this guild mandates that no master
may make dice from the bones of a horse, since it is
considered unlucky.
