FAQ*

*If FAQ stood for Things We Felt Like Putting In The About Section.

  • Founded In 2023

    No Dice, LLC was founded in 2023 and has been based out of Louisville, KY ever since.

  • Slogan

    "Play is a Human Need."


    Although "We all want a pizza da pie" was a close runner-up.

  • Why NoDice.pizza?

    Because "nodice.com" costs over $4k and pizza is delightful.


    When I was a flight attendant, I used my layovers to try local pizza shops all over the US, and the best pizza place I've found in all my travels is La Nova Pizzaria in Buffalo, NY.


    In addition, my friends and family have been buying me pizza paraphernalia for years even though all I've ever asked for is just pizza itself. I still have a circular pizza blanket, a triangular pizza pillow, pizza shaped tupperware, and the pizza socks which I got married in, but that's another story...

  • The Team

    The team is currently Cali (me), serving as founder, owner, and operator.


    Full Name: Benjamin Danger Calicott, or at least that's what I tried to get my college graduation announcer to say. He didn't, but the admin department got a laugh out of it.


    I also occassionally/often stylize my first name as 3en, so if you see a 3en Calicott anywhere, that's me.

  • Favorite Color

    My favorite color is darkness.


    Or, more specifically, "eigengrau" (hex code #16161d). It is German in origin, meaning "mind gray" and is named for the color your brain shows you whenever your eyes are not receiving any visual information.

  • Favorite Font

    It changes somewhat frequently.


    At the exact time of writing this, it's probably Trailmade... I'm a sucker for fonts that have an alternate letter for when the same letter appears back to back, really giving it a handwritten feel.


    When I first got an Adobe account, I had to limit myself to only looking through 25 pages of fonts a day, otherwise I would just lose hours on hours to just looking at fonts.


    I like fonts, okay...

  • Tall People

    I've always looked up to them.

  • Nonfiction Book Recommendation

    Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Compassion by Marshall Rosenberg.


    Continue learning how to use language to connect with people through truthfulness and empathy by clearly expressing our needs and wants without placing demands on those around us.

  • Best Paper Airplane

    The Eagle.


    Some fly faster and some look fancier, but the smooth glide of the Eagle is hard to beat.


    In a few situations I would put the creatively named World Record Paper Airplane above the Eagle. The WRPA is a variation on the Box Plane, which is also a good time. If you're only going to learn 4 types of paper airplanes, I'd suggest the Eagle, the WRPA, the Dart, and the Box Plane.

Patreon

To start out, my cast and crew are donating their time and effort for minimal compensation as they help me get my dream off the ground.


Joining the Patreon at any level helps me increase the amount of compensation I can give as well as increase the rate at which we can sustainably produce media.
