D&D General If I was looking for grounds for a divorce

If you have $200 to spend on dice it is reasonable to assume you have a quantum temporal suspension chamber to store them in!

Not necessarily. Money is fungible. You could draw money from other sources to pay for the dice.

A bag of Doritos and a couple 2 liter bottles of Mountain Dew are about $10. So, forego 20 bags of Doritos and 40 2 liter bottles of Dew.

You have now saved enough for the dice and avoided consuming about 80,000 kcal (44,800 kcal from the Doritos and 38,000 from doing the Dew).

Pretty sure any group that would enjoy 2 bottles of Mountain Dew and Doritos would rebel if you made them go 20 sessions without them in order for enough light-up dice for one player to have them.

Those look pretty, but being the creator's first Kickstarter with a $200,000 ask, I am skeptical.

Or....

They'd thank me for helping to eliminate the source of much of the flatulence in the room.

I've been watching this project with interest for quite a long time. The creator has been working on this for quite a long time, and has posted designs and component listings for some of the earlier iterations - from what I've seen, the price is reasonable for the components and work that would go in.

That doesn't mean, of course, that it's not going to fail. I think it's likely to be honest (and I'm currently in for one d20 - I'll probably go for another before it ends). It's really down to whether you can justify the cost - I'd love a full set, but I can't quite justify it. I would very happily pay $40, though, to be able to physically roll a d20 when I'm running games on roll20.

So, I'm watching it and I am thinking, they look kinda fun, then I see that it can link to Roll20. That makes me want to buy a set for each of my players. The ability to roll physical dice but have the results show up in your VTT would be awesome.

Why didnt I think of that!

Argh. Such a good idea.

The more you pay for a die the more painful it is when it turns out to be unlucky.

But whatever you do just don't order the designs that involve black text on near black backgrounds when not lit up. When the light gimmick dies or isn't charged up you might as well have fancy dice that are still easy to read.
