If there were some way in which the Zocchi dice made a big contribution to the quality of the game, perhaps it would be worth it. So far, the only argument I've seen for why the extra dice are a good thing is "nostalgia value"--recreating the feeling of "WTF is with the crazy dice?" I do not regard that as anything close to sufficient reason.I could take a knife and cut my finger. It wouldn't hurt that much, and it wouldn't take too long to heal, and band-aids are cheap. This is not a sufficient argument for me to do it.The fact that DCC wants to make me deal with wonky dice, when the wonky dice do not seem to improve the game in any noticeable way, says something to me about the designers' priorities... namely, that they don't have a problem making me deal with hassles at the gaming table for the sake of their nostalgic vision. News flash, guys: If I want to deal with hassles at the gaming table for the sake of nostalgia, I've got the old red box right here. I don't need a new game for that.</blockquote>
