Behind the Forge
Behind the Forge
We’re The Smith’s Forge—Makers, Artificers, and Dice-obsessed problem solvers. We build tools, molds, and masters that help you spend less time fighting your workflow and more time making cool stuff.
Our Mission
"Let's Make Something of It"
- We will lower the barrier of entry into dice making by delivering reliable, repeatable, and reasonable tools.
- We will always freely give the knowledge of the entire process to back you up.
- And we’re here for hobbyists, small shops, and anyone who wants to "Make cool shit".
Where This All Began
"Wait... is that upside-down?"
Our story starts a really long time ago (2024). When the head of the house and her would be artificer decided to make a Resin River Table. Tasked with such a monumental quest the duo decided to start small "Dice are easy enough." claimed the artificer. The artificer was very wrong.
Trials, and triumphs lead to tools and knowledge. And all of what you see here. Legend says they are still "Making cool shit" somewhere in the frigid north.
(Legend also never speaks of the table again.)
The Smith's
Two dwarves, a lot of microplastics, and far too many projects.
Austin "Buddha"
Resident Artificer
This is Buddha. (Me!)
Resident artificer. Makes the stuff.
He designs it, breaks it, redesigns it, and eventually releases it. Powered by ADHD, over-engineering, EDM, and an unreasonable amount of white Monster. Sleeps rarely. Misses release dates regularly. Somehow still makes cool things exist.
Nannon
Business Manager
This is Nannon.
The reason this whole thing actually works.
She handles the money, the orders, the schedules, and the packing—so while I’m making dice and breaking things, someone is making sure your order shows up correct and on time.
Quiet. Precise. Absolutely essential.
