A world is taking shape
The Starforged Gate
Imagination, made tangible.
There is a world beyond the ordinary.
Some things are made to take you there.
01 / Original works
Two original mechanical dice designs. Made for the worlds you play in, and the moments between turns.
Six independent dials, d4 through d20, in a solid-metal wheel. A steampunk object to turn, carry and keep at your table.
Seven dice in one metal disc. Set the balls in motion, let them settle, and read the track your game calls for.
Original product photography. Campaign rewards, availability and delivery details are listed on each Kickstarter page.
02 / Custom production
Bring a sketch, a reference or a finished design. Together, we can work through materials, quantities, sampling and production.
Metal. Resin. Wood.
The right material begins with how a piece should feel, function and belong in your world.
A few good starting points
What it does, how it feels, and where it belongs in play.
The finish, dimensions and details that make it yours.
Quantities, sample requirements and your intended timing.
03 / Original development
Original tabletop games and accessories begin with an idea worth exploring. Talk to us about the experience, the components and the objects you want to bring into being.

The maker behind the mark
The Artifex Works brings together tabletop products, custom production and original game and accessory development. We work with players, independent creators, crowdfunding teams and publishers to turn ideas into objects for play.
How a project takes shapeFrom the first thought to the table
Every project has its own scope. These are the conversations and milestones that help us shape it together.
Share the idea, intended use and approximate quantity.
Discuss materials, specifications and the project scope.
Agree the sample requirements and review the result.
Confirm the approved details before the production run.
Work through packaging and delivery arrangements.
An early sketch or written brief is a useful starting point. Tell us what is decided and where you would like design input.
These depend on the product, material, customisation and quantity. Send a brief so the details can be reviewed for your project.
Yes. Choose original development in the enquiry form and describe the experience or object you want to create.
