Hello Fergus, I have posted my game "Dice Landing Chess". Please have a review and let me know if any additional changes are needed.

Thank you! Jishan Zhang

or roll a dice

The word dice is plural. The singular is die. Please be specific about how many dice a player may roll.

Do you use dice like the ones you've described? If so, how did you make or acquire them? What about alternatives for people without Chess dice?

Although there can be multiple dice associated with different opening setups and reserve-pile compositions, each game only uses a single die. Let me modify the game rules to make it clearer.

I have printable high-resolution DLchess dice symbols in a pdf file. Will upload it to my space.

I also have about 20k sheets of self-adhesive-labels, each has 5 repeats of the 6 DLchess dice symbols (smiley-face, ♔ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙). They are NOT available to the general public yet - I'm using them as rewards to my Kickstarter backers.

I have updated my DLchess (Dice Landing Chess), Introduction, Rules, Notes, by replacing 'dice' with 'die', to emphasize that in each game, only one die is used.

I have also uploaded printable high-resolution DLchess dice symbols: /membergraphics/MSdice-landing-chess/DLchess-6-symbols_x5_repeats.pdf

I have now published this. I reduced the categories to Dice and Setup, because I don't think the others apply. I would recommend including a link to your PDF on the page.
