D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

Beadle & Grimm's, known for it's luxury version of official Dungeons & Dragons adventures, is set to release a selection of dice sets themed around various classic modules, including The Temple of Elemental Evil, Ravenloft, and White Plume Mountain. Each set comes in a box designed to look like th original adventure module, along with collectible coins and art.

The sets include Ravenloft, Tomb of Horrors, Vecna Lives!, White Plume Mountain, Temple of Elemental Evil, and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

Each has a felt-lined box, a standard dice set along with an oversized d20, two collectible coins, and four cards featuring artwork and information from the adventure.

The full set of 6 dice sets will set you back $178--but you will be able to buy them separately at a later date. The site says that the $178 bundle includes a $45 saving, so presumably the full price of $223 means that the individual sets will sell for around $37 each.

37 USD for a very plain-looking dice set? What a rip-off. I really can't understand why there's such a big market for these kinds of things.

Save your money and purchase books/PDFs. Support real creators.

This reminds me of the MTG 30-year anniversary fiasco.

$37 a set. GFY.

It's not that there's no demand for high end D&D loot, but this is really low effort. Fairly basic dice in a pretty box for 37$? That's pushing it.

A part of me is oddly happy that these are so expensive. It signals to me that I'm not the market for them and not get too worked up about it. It's a whale product.

This is not for me but saying it's "37 usd" just for dice it's very disingenuous. You're clearly paying for the production value, the included artwork, the coin and the fact that it's a collectable.

These aren't even resin, sharp-edged dice. That price for ordinary tumbled plastic dice is silly.

Too bad, because a couple of these I would have liked a lot.

I’m being very sincere in my belief that $37 is overpriced. I’d be buying if for the dice, not the coin, not the repurposed artwork, and certainly not because it’s collectible (which is a marketing term, not one based on rarity or value).

OK, but they are not selling the dice only, are they?

I feel like you would buy a car just for the wheels and then complain the wheels are too expensive...

And yeah, collectable is a marketing term that is used to raise the value of something due to forced scarcity... What's your point?

Nostalgia is expensive.
