- henriquecm8 4y agoOn the Online dice I got: > Portable, Underwater, Public, Organic, Electric, Tool So I need to invent a tool using eels. Maybe a taser to use on the beach.
- captainmuon 4y agoReminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies which are a deck of cards by Brian Eno that are meant to help artists overcome creative blockage with unusual ideas.
- pavlov 4y agoOblique Strategies is particularly useful because it doesn’t pretend to be giving you new ideas. Each card offers a new vector of approach that may be helpful if you’re stuck, but you need to have something to work on.
- timpark 4y agoThe result I got on page load was: Portable, Self-Build, Public, Paper, Manual, Vehicle. I think the paper airplane has already been invented...
- HKH2 4y agoHow about paper parachutes?
- meristohm 4y agoThere's a similar commercial product I've used for mental warm-ups in my classrooms over the years: Rory's Story Cubes (plastic, in paper and plastic packaging). I suggest making your own and using icons from The Noun Project (https://thenounproject.com https://thenounproject.com) as stencils or inspiration for quick freehand pencil or woodburner. The barrier is higher, but the personalization potential is much greater. Not stressing about quality helps lower the barrier, and if the cubes are for personal use, all you need is good-enough representations.

- gorkish 4y agoThe real question is, "Can Invention Dice invent Invention Dice?"
- drdeca 4y agothat's the last example listed on the page. Or, at least, dice in general.
