A Tabletop RPG Dice Set Alternative in a Credit Card Form Factor
There is strong demand for the Cardyhedron
This Cardyhedron object is a fascinating solution, to a problem you'd think no one has. (And you'd be wrong—at press time, at least 4,272 people had this problem.)
The "problem" is that you're trying to play Dungeons & Dragons during an earthquake, or on the International Space Station, or on a rollercoaster; whatever the case is, you're not able to roll dice on a flat, stable surface. The credit-card-sized Cardyhedron takes the place of a full set of gaming dice—D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20—using spinning wheels held in place with tiny ball bearings. So you can generate random numbers in any setting.
The object is just 5mm thick, by the way.
I was going to place this object in the "Who the F buys this S" category, but I forgot we're talking about the tabletop RPG market here. This market is at least as rabid as the EDC market. The Cardyhedron, which had a $4,000 target on Kickstarter, is currently sitting at $185,000 with 19 days left to pledge at press time.

Who the F buys this S? I thought it was a universal programmable access card for multiple sites. One card for all your different gate swipes. The modern day Enigma where the codes change everyday.
While tabletop gaming isn't my thing, I think this is a really cool solution!
