Dice!

I would recommend Q-workshop. They design dice that looks nothing like any other.

Besides buying from them directly I would suggest you check out these places for dice.

Those are all I can think of off the top of my head. The biggest difference what each company carries.

Heck if you are willing to shell out the cash grab a full set of Brass Dice.

Just keep them off the glass table please.

You could get a set like mine, but you'd have to wait for another big meteor to hit the earth (and for Crystal Caste to carve them into polyhedrons for you).

I used to get little d6's from lots of the old Games Workshop games, and I think from the Ghostbusters RPG box set. These little white d6's have the sharp edges and made of the same material as the classic six-sided dice found in most board games. You can buy plastic cases with d6's of the same size as the ones I'm talking about, but they have rounded edges and are of a light material. Does anyone know if those old, sharp-edged small d6's are being made?

Never thought I'd find a place to ask such an odd question as this.

Gamescience all the way, though unless your supplier inks them for you you'll have to take some paint or an indelible pen and colour in the numbers. ahdm.net sells them online and will ink them for you. The edges on gamescience dice are sharp; the tumbling process used to round off the edges of other dice can introduce tiny irregularities in how they roll...for most of us, no big deal, but for the extremely fussy it's worth noting...

I don't know the answer but here is a great place to ask it. Kevin Cook knows a lot about dice and has the world's largest collection.

Another vote for chessex. I like my dice to be pretty, and I love the swirly pearly colors of the fancy chessex dice. My best set came from a little shop in Georgia, and they're all brown and gold and copper and red and a little bit of blue. Sounds weird, but they're beautiful, and they roll well. The Georgian is always by my side when the d20s come out.

Maybe I don't know much about dice, but dice is dice. Just don't buy the 'crystal' dice that rolls like a tube. They're hard to read.

I like stone and metal dice, if you have some money to spend. Otherwise, just get whatever's cheap.

I could use some help, too!

While you guys are talking dice, maybe you could point me to a set, as well... My problem is that I am legally-blind, and have a hard time reading th'thangs! Years ago, I bought a set of Diamond Dice, in black, inked in silver, but a brat got into them (after repeatedly being told not to!) and lost some (which is why they were supposed to stay outta there!). So now I need a set of black dice, inked in either silver or white, with high contrast (as game tables are notoriously poorly-lit!) About the only other requirement is that I need the D20 numbered from 1-20, not 0-9, twice (as one of the two colors is always unreadable, to me, in poor light)! The Chessex look nice, if I can get a black set!

Can anyone point me to a high-contrast black set? Size isn't important (as long as a blind man can read'em - easily!), and I prefer sharp corners to the round ones, but I'll take what I can get. Anyone got a link?

Thanks!

Chessex makes a black die with white print. I was looking to get a set for my next set of dice because I liked the look.

I would suspect that an oversized d20 might not be a bad call for you as well. Big die, easy to read. Everyone at the table will know you are rolling with that authoritative "Thunk!" it makes.

Gamescience also makes a 6 piece set(missing the second d10) in black with silver(or white) inking.

As for the oversized set I love my gaint otherworld set.
