DICE, chapter 214 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 214

Here is the original (Janis Joplin dialed for dollars, you click for won for the author) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

This time I finished typesetting and there were only two redraws, so I had two good friends, Achyif and Losian, redraw it so as to give the usual team a quick break. And with this we're caught up, next week we're back to the usual crew.

Happy holidays to all!

DICE, chapter 213 (reader)

I'm back from my trip!

DICE 213

Here is the original (if you click it, the author's computer prints money! It's true!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

We had some timely help from a good friend, TSW, redrawing a couple pictures in this. Kudos to him!

DICE, chapter 212 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 212

Here is the original (clicking it is the equivalent of a subsidy to the author) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Chapters 213 and 214 may suffer a delay as I'm going on a one-week trip in which I'm probably not going to take my computer with me. So hang in there!

DICE, chapter 211 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 211

Here is the original (a few calories and watts for you, some won for the author if you click) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 210 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 210

Here is the original (the few calories spent clicking it become revenue for the author) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

Thanks go to our good friend Jay, who brought Jin's partial script to completion!

DICE, chapter 209 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 209

Here is the original (ever heard of the Midas touch? Well, for the author this is the Midas click) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

(As expected, those LINE good-for-nothings didn't have the decency to translate the 179.5 extra that gives us an insight on the author's drawing techniques. Useless gits… well, starting next week, if there's room for an ad at the end of the chapter - this week we barely managed to fit the credits - I shall resume the plea for someone to translate it for us.)

DICE, chapter 208 (reader)

SHE. IS. BACK. \o/ \o/ \o/

DICE 208

Here is the original (easiest way of giving alms to a poor author ever, just click it) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

The release of next week may come late as I'm going on a weekend trip.

DICE, chapter 207 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 207

Here is the original (be the author's sugar daddy/mama by clicking on it!) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 206 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 206

Here is the original (your clicking it is as close to a "free lunch" as the author will get) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 205 (reader)

Wow, it's been a while since the last time we were caught up with public Korean releases like this!

DICE 205

This chapter had no room for credits. The translation was by Jin, and the redrawers were Damien, Joseph and Veta, and the drudgery was left to yours truly.

Here is the original (you click click, the author ka-chings kachings) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

(Speaking of LINE, if they have the decency of translating the 179.5 extra - which they normally do not do - we might be saved the trouble of finding a graphic arts-savvy translator to do it for us. Not holding my breath, though.)

DICE, chapter 204 (reader)

Enjoy the chapter!

DICE 204

Here is the original (clicking costs you nothing and earns the author moolah) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 203 (reader)

This one was tough!

DICE 203

We needed five redrawers, among back-ups and regulars, including our latest addition to the regular team, Damien! We also extend our thanks to likcoras, as Jin was still busy with real life stuff.

Here is the original (click and contribute to the author's snack fund) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 202 (reader)

Heeeere it is!

DICE 202

This time there was no room for credits, but this chapter was jointly translated by Jin and our good friend Choo Choo Cat, whom old readers may remember from a couple of years ago. Joseph and I took care of edition.

Here is the original (you click, the author's wallet gets thick) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

We are trying to recruit more back-up translators, by the way. Our old safety net of collaborators is all but gone after so long. If likcoras is busy again, we can only rely on Choo Choo Cat. It would be great if we could have more people to turn to when in need, so if you think you could help us out with a translation once in a blue moon, please contact us!

P.S.: I decided to change the font for off-bubble thoughts. I was tired of using Anime Ace for both speech and thoughts. Hope you like the change.

DICE, chapter 201 (reader)

Heartless leeches of society, rejoice! We. Are. Back!

DICE 201

This enormous, 120-page chapter, which we kinda hope is not the new normal for this series, was redrawn with the timely help of a new back-up, Damien, in addition to the always amazing Joseph and Jun! Our good friend Xarix helped a little, too.

Here is the original (clicking there means Korean won for the author) and here is the latest English official release by LINE. (Even with the break, they are 29 chapters behind, the poor bastards.)

Incidentally, we forgot to mention it because we were in the middle of the break between seasons, but past August 11 was Dicescans' third anniversary. All hail our one and only Jin!

P.S.: We didn't make a mistake in the beginning of the chapter. The author wrote "Chapter 4 Last Season". Go figure. No way in hell we were going to redraw that pic just to correct that. Even our PS magicians are only humans.

DICE - End of Season 3 message from the author

No, it's not a new chapter, but we always said we try to bring everything DICE-related that we can scanlate, didn't we?

End of Season Message

There's another reason I wanted to scanlate this, which is to recruit a translator for an extra, as announced in the end of this release. There's another extra, after chapter 179, which we would very much like to do because in it the author describes his techniques for drawing this series. It might help our redrawers and it's a very interesting look into one of the most beautiful webtoons (the most, in my opinion) there is. However, neither Jin nor likcoras are well-versed in digital graphic arts terminology in Korean or English, so they can't help this time. We need someone who likes tinkering with pictures in both languages :P

The original is here (the author might enjoy one more day in a resort in the beach if you click it) and the latest official English release by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 200 (reader)

And with this, Dicescans is on a break, too!

DICE 200

Here is the original (the author's holiday fund gets fatter if you visit it) and here is the latest official English release by LINE.

Again, my heart was warmed by you heartless leeches of society. Within 24 hours of putting out my plea for help, we had two volunteers to help redrawing, and one of them, Joseph (whom you may know from our second project, Flying in the darkness), worked very hard and did most of the redraws, including the monstrous ones in pages 94-97. We also had contributions by Veta and Jun, and the chapter was translated by our dear friend likcoras.

I say on a break, but there were two extras that we might do if we have time. One was after chapter 179, and it appears to be mostly the author talking about his technique (which may even be of interest to our redrawers!) The other is the author's announcement of the end of season three. However, don't hold your breath, okay?

We'll be on the lookout for when the series resumes, so see you then!

Last chapter of the season typeset, but… help needed redrawing

Just so you know, chapter 200, the final one of the third season, is completely typeset.

However, it needs redrawing. Our resident redrawers are all busy in real life, and so are the back-ups. This chapter has ten pages in need of attention, most at the (high) difficulty level that is typical for this series, and one of them very difficult.

If you think you can help, please contact me (Splicer). My email address can be found by clicking on "Contact" in the tab at the top of the page.

If more than one person applies, I'll distribute the redraws among them so as to lighten the individual workload and get to the release more quickly.

(But please, take a good, long look at the art of this series before getting in touch, and only do so if you feel confident that you're up to the task. You know how hard DICE is. You need to master patterns, gradients, line art, filters and more to do it. As a one-series group with a very small team, we don't have means to train you, and we don't have a redrawing test. If you volunteer but your skills aren't quite good enough, you will waste time and effort and it pains me to discard work done voluntarily and in good will. Redraws found wanting won't be used. Being honest to oneself about one's own skills is the first step to avoiding wasted work in scanlation.)

DICE, chapter 199 (reader)

Almost there!

DICE 199

Here's the original (click and help the author get an extra for his holidays) and here is the latest official release in English by LINE.

DICE, chapter 198 (reader)

Told ya this one would be quicker!

DICE 198

Here's the original (click and help the author get an extra for his holidays) and here is the latest official release in English by LINE.

DICE, chapter 197 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 197

Here's the original (every click helps the author) and here is the latest official release in English by LINE.

Chapter 198 shouldn't take too long, as I am on break from work. But no promises!

DICE, chapter 196 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 196

Here's the original (visiting it costs you seconds and earns the author precious popularity) and here is the latest official release in English by LINE.

DICE, chapter 195 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 195

This chapter was 111 pages long, more than 50% longer than the average. The next one is 82 pages… longer than any chapter we did up to 193. Either the author is going crazy or the series is heading towards conclusion.

Anyway, here's the original (visit it to thank the author with more views) and here is the latest official release in English by LINE.

Chapter 196 is translated and being redrawn. I'll try to clean and typeset it as soon as I can, but no promises!

DICE, chapter 194 (reader)

Another chapter!

DICE 194

Here is the original (the author is much obliged to you when you visit it) and here is the latest English official release by LINE.

We'll be three chapters behind the public Korean raws a while longer, as we're still busy. We'll do our best to clear the backlog as soon as we can, though. In the meantime, I was contacted by some people who offered to help redrawing, and these are much appreciated, but right now, Jin and I are busy, too, so one chapter a week is what we all can do for now.

DICE, chapter 193 (reader)

Whew, we finally managed to do it.

DICE 193

I have received some offers of help, and for those we're thankful. One reason I haven't answered yet is that I'm still trying to catch up on typesetting, so I haven't had the opportunity. In any case, things are not as dire as I may have driven you to think.

Here is the original (visit it and increase the author's bottom line) and here is the latest official English release by LINE.

DICE, chapter 192 (reader)

Whew, we finally managed to do it.

DICE 192

Things are tough on our end. Fábio has had less time for his hobby due to real life stuff. I am also busy due to real life on weekends. We'll resume work on the next chapters (193 and 194 are translated) from this weekend, but we can't guarantee catching up soon.

Here is the original (visit it and increase the author's bottom line) and here is the latest official English release by LINE.

Help!

I made you wait. Normally I would have posted an ad explaining the situation much earlier, but I got tangled up in real life.

Chapter 192 is just ONE page from being released. But it's quite a hard redraw. The other redrawers are busy with real life stuff and we have nobody to resort to.

Chapter 193 is translated. I can clean and typeset it quite quickly, but no point in doing it if we can't get 192 out.

So, if you can redraw colour pages of the difficulty level of DICE, are a reader and reading this, we could do with some help! Ways to contact me (Splicer) are right at the contact area linked at the top bar.

DICE, chapter 191 (reader)

Well, an easy chapter for a change.

DICE 191

Here is the original (you know, the one that gets the author paid the more you visit it) and here is the latest official English release by LINE.

Almost back in sync with Korea…

DICE 187

The original is here (your clicks put bread on the author's table), and the latest English official release by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 186 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 186

This is the original (by all means visit it), and this is the latest official English version by LINE.

Chapter 187 is at redrawing now.

Delays

Well, these have been hectic weeks, for Jin and for me.

Chapters 186 and 187 are typeset, and 186 is almost completely redrawn, but it's a very hard chapter and the final redraws are devilish. As for 187, it's not terribly hard, nor terribly easy. So hang in there, please!

DICE, chapter 185 (reader)

Whew, an easy chapter for a change!

DICE 185

Here is the original (you know, the one you visit for the author to bring bread home to his family) and the latest official release in English by LINE is here.

As promised, I posted a new poll.

DICE, chapter 184 (reader)

A gigantic chapter full of hard redraws. Plus, Jin and I were entangled in real life, thus the longer time to complete it.

DICE 184


The original is here (get the author some love by visiting it, maybe he will stop making impossible to redraw pages if he is happy), and the latest English official release by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 183 (reader)

Another huge chapter!

DICE 183

Jin's still having real life entanglements, so it again fell to our likcoras to translate it.

The original is here (send money in the author's direction by visiting it), and the latest English official release by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 182 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 182

All thanks to the combined efforts of two translators, the three regular redrawers and Jun. I believe this is the largest team to work in one of our chapters so far.

The original is here (I'm sure the author is much obliged to all of us who visit it) and the latest official release in English by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 181 (reader)

Took us a while, but here it is:

DICE 181

Here's the original (which you'll duly visit to show appreciation for the author), whereas the latest English official version by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 180 (reader)

Here it is, one of the longest chapters we have ever done!

DICE 180

In a rainy day, we might do last week's author announcement. For a mere fill-in for a week without chapters, it was quite wordy.

Here is the original (clicking is caring) and here is the latest English official version by LINE.

DICE, chapter 179 (reader)

A new arc, a new tarot card!

DICE 179

The original is here (the author loves visitors), and the latest official English release by LINE is here.

Flying in the Darkness, chapter 05 (Batoto)

And here's another neat job by our Team 2!

Flying in the Darkness 05

DICE, chapter 178 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 178

There was no room for credits, but apart from Fábio and yours truly, we had help from Veta for redrawing. As for the translation, the script, as visitors of this blog know, was provided by JiYoung Kim and revised by Jin.

The original is here (clicking is caring!) and the latest official English release by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 177 (reader)

Here it is!

DICE 177

A hearty welcome to our new rookie redrawers, Riza and Veta!

The original is here (make the author happy by visiting it) and the latest English official release by LINE is here.

On unrelated matters, I'm positively impressed by the results of the current poll. For the first time in memory, Eunju is not the most hated character in this series. Still a solid runner-up, though.

DICE, chapter 176 (reader)

An easy chapter to edit, for a change:

DICE 176

The original is here (we get it for free, so give the author your gratitude by visiting it) and the latest official English episode by LINE is here.

DICE, chapter 175 (reader)

Well, here it is, with minimal delay for a change!

DICE 175

The original (visit it and to increase views and support the author) is here, and LINE's latest English official version is here.

We're trying to find a regular redrawer to partner up with Fábio. In a first moment, they will take the easier redraws, but even those can be hard. Over time, they will have his back (and he will have theirs), working together to get regular (and maybe earlier) releases and covering for each other when there are real life entanglements. This means being available to redraw even on weekdays, and being able to redraw a full chapter by themselves. If you like DICE and wanna help, please follow the instructions at the end of the chapter and apply!

(Of course, we'll keep the back-ups, who are indispensable for moments of dire need.)

DICE, chapter 174

Well, thanks to the timely aid of our back-up Goldsonic, we got this chapter ready earlier than I had hoped!

Unfortunately, our good friends at Death Toll Scans are experiencing problems with their reader (excessive traffic, I hear) and it will take a while to sort things out, so I'll keep releasing the chapters here as we did in the past. I still cannot remove all white frames well consistently, but I asked Jin to fix my post, which she will do, I hope, when she has time and occasion.

The original is here (clicking is caring!) and LINE's latest English official release is here.
