Stop guessing what came back.
The Nexus Tracking System: 3D-printable trackers you can feel and hear when you turn them — and that level up when your character does.

Not a wheel with numbers. A system.
Each tracker is built around how its ability works, from multi-digit HP counters to abilities with two ways to recharge. Nests run from 1 to 9 wide, so your whole character fits.
Colors designed in, not painted on.
Every piece is its own named part, down to the numbers, words and icons. In your slicer, click a part and choose a color. Clean edges and less wasted filament.
Optional color code: the nest color shows what resets on a short or long rest. Use ours, tweak it, or pick your own. The Color Codex includes blank sheets so you can plan your own color combos.
Your character leveled up. Our trackers do too!
Bigger dice or more uses? Swap in new wheels. No reprinting the whole tracker. On Tier 3, the nameplates swap too.
Detailed guides, not guesswork.
Three guides, included for every backer. The Quick Start Guide covers how a nest, wheel and reset code work. The Nexus Color Codex recommends a color scheme you can use, change or ignore. The Nexus Companion Guide walks through which nest and wheel combination fits each kind of ability, class by class.



Printed, tested and already in play at real tables.

Questions
Is this a physical product?+
No. You get downloadable 3D-printable files (STEP + 3MF) and print the trackers yourself. Print shops can buy a Commercial License to sell printed trackers, and we’ll list authorized sellers on our site.
I don’t have a 3D printer. Can I still use it?+
Yes. Ask a friend with a printer, check your local library or makerspace (many have printers), or buy prints from an authorized seller once our list is up.
What printer do I need?+
Everything is designed and tested on Bambu Lab printers. Any FDM printer whose slicer opens 3MF or STEP files can print them. Multi-color prints need a multi-color setup (like Bambu's AMS); on a single-color printer you'd swap filament by hand when the printer pauses.
Which games does it work with?+
The trackers and guides are compatible with 5th edition, and the blank nests and wheels work for any game where you count things.
Do I need magnets?+
Only for Tier 3. Magnets go into the nameplates and nests so the nameplates click into place and stay there. They use 10×1 mm neodymium disc magnets, sold separately. The wheels click without magnets, and magnet-free nests are included.
When do I get the files?+
VIPs get the Hero Kit right after signing up. Kickstarter reward files are estimated for March 2027, after the campaign closes.
How does the VIP discount work?+
Your $1 or $5 is a one-time sign-up fee, separate from your pledge. It unlocks 30% or 40% off the full price of any Kickstarter tier. Example: Tier 3 is $45, so $1 VIPs pay $31.50 and $5 VIPs pay $27. Your private link arrives when the Kickstarter launches on January 12, 2027, and works for the whole campaign.
Can I help pick new designs?+
Yes. Everyone can submit ideas in our Discord and vote on the top 20. After the Kickstarter, VIPs and backers vote on the final Top 10, which get designed and released to all backers based on their tier.
Who's behind this?+
I'm the designer behind Fantasy Gachapon. I got tired of eraser-worn sheets, bumped dice and pausing combat to check what resets on which rest, so I spent over 1,000 hours designing and table-testing a better way.
What if the Kickstarter doesn't fund?+
You keep the Hero Kit, and the first 100 Premium VIPs who pledged still get their custom designs.
