Timekeeper
The wheel set into an ornate gear stand — a column of brass-toned machinery that holds the room. Made to live on a shelf or desk rather than in a pocket.
A solid-metal dice wheel with six spinning gear dials — d4 to d20, all on one face. Heavy in the hand, and the thing everyone at the table asks about.

Why people want one
You picked every feat, every flaw, every line of backstory. Then you roll with the same dice everyone else has. Chrono Gear is the part of your kit that finally says something about you.
Set it down at the table and the session stops for a second. It gets picked up, turned over, handed around — every time.
d4 through d20, each its own spinning gear dial, all fitted into a disc that sits in your palm. Not a convenience — a piece of engineering built to be shown off.
Solid zinc alloy, hand-plated and aged. It lands on the table like a coin from somewhere older.
How this started
"If fate is something you turn,
a gear is the most honest shape a die could take."
Steampunk has one defining element: the gear — a shape that means exactly one thing, turning. And dice are about turning too; people have pictured luck as a spinning wheel for centuries. So the design fell into place in one move: give each of the six dice its own gear, sized to its die, set across the face of one wheel. You don't throw it. You turn it. A year of sketches, castings and plating tests later — this is the result.
Three editions
Every edition holds the full d4-to-d20 set on spinning gear dials. What changes is the shape it takes — and where it lives.

The wheel set into an ornate gear stand — a column of brass-toned machinery that holds the room. Made to live on a shelf or desk rather than in a pocket.

The same wheel on its own, in a leather holster built for it. Small enough to live in a jacket pocket, and the easiest of the three to spin.

A solid-metal cube with a gear dial on every face. Looks like a d6 until someone picks it up and finds the whole set inside.
How it works
Each gear is marked with a polyhedral icon — d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20.
Flick the chosen gear and let the mechanism turn freely.
When it stops, the number at the indicator is your result.
Because the gears spin instead of bouncing, your rolls stay exactly where you want them — quieter, and never off the table. For advantage or multiple dice, just spin again.
The details
Every figure below is measured from the production units — the same pieces photographed on this page.
Three ages of civilization
Pick your era after the campaign — all three cost the same.



Every edition comes in all three Ages, at the same price — you pick yours after the campaign.
Down to the last gear
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.









Kickstarter pricing
Kickstarter pricing is the lowest these will ever be — retail follows later at full price. Every reward comes in your choice of Bronze, Silver or Golden Age, picked after the campaign so you don't have to decide today.

The wheel plus its gear stand — built to sit out where people see it.

FAQ
The campaign runs from Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 9am Eastern through Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 9am Eastern. Early Bird tiers are available for the first 48 hours only — the lowest price this will ever be, plus the leather holster free.
Shipping begins in January 2027 — about two months after the campaign closes, where most crowdfunded projects take six to twelve. The design work is already done: every piece photographed on this page is a finished production unit. Once parcels go out, US orders typically arrive in 15–25 business days and the rest of the world in 20–30.
Shipping is collected after the campaign, in the pledge manager, at real regional rates. Current estimates per item: United States — Cube $12–15, Voyager $15–18, Timekeeper $18–20. Rest of world — Cube $15–18, Voyager $18–20, Timekeeper $20–25. If you order more than one piece, the shipping for each is added together.
| Destination | Cube | Voyager | Timekeeper | Arrives in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $12–15 | $15–18 | $18–20 | 15–25 business days |
| Rest of world | $15–18 | $18–20 | $20–25 | 20–30 business days |
Honestly — probably not for every roll, and it isn't trying to. When you need 8d6 at once, reach for your set. Chrono Gear is what you pull out when you want the roll to feel like something: the piece that gets picked up, passed around, and asked about.
No — both use the exact same 90mm wheel, with identical dials and weight. The Timekeeper adds the gear stand it sits in (155mm tall overall). The Voyager is the easier of the two to spin and to carry, and it's the one the leather holster is made for. The stand can't be added later, so pick based on how you'll use it.
Yes — six dice in one: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20. Each die is its own dial: spin it, let it stop, read the result at the marker. For advantage or multiple rolls, spin again — and for percentile rolls, spin the d10 twice.
Each dial rides on its own axle and spins free — no detents, no click-stops, no weighted rest position — and the numbered segments around it are cut to equal width, so nothing in the mechanism favours one result over another. Flick it properly and it keeps turning well past the point where you could steer it, then settles on its own. It reads the way a die does: you spin, you look, and you live with the number.
After the campaign, in the pledge manager survey. All three Ages are the same price and sets can mix Ages freely — so there's no pressure to decide today.
No — Kickstarter backers get the lowest price this will ever be, and the first units shipped.
