[QUOTE="Koloth, post: 9896871, member: 6706231"] Many years ago I settled on this style and brand of dice : [URL="https://www.chessex.com/translucent-polyhedral-purplewhite-7-die-set"]Translucent Purple/white Polyhedral 7-Dice Set[/URL] Not totally by design. Shortly after I decided to upgrade from my "poor starving college grad" set of horribly mixed dice, I was in a FLGS for a game and they had a purple leather dice bag and two or three sets of those chessex dice. The match of the bag and dice sealed the deal. Very readable to my eyes and I have added many more of that style to my standard gaming set. A couple years ago picked up a matching magnetic dice tray. Backed a recent KS for metal dice. Got the purple set with white numbers. Not as bright as the chessex ones but still easy to read. They seem to work well in the dice tray. One type of die I give the evil eye toward are those spinner dice. Nice concept but they can take over a minute to produce a result. Not exactly suitable for finishing a game this year when someone often needs to roll 20D6 damage from some high level attack sequence. One of my friends has a fetish for those 10mm sized dice in hard to read patterns and color combos. It can get irritating when it takes him 10~15 seconds to puzzle out what 1 die is showing. If you can find one, a 'factory second' chessex mondo or mega mat can make a low cost portable table protection mat. Bonus, it can be used as a draw on map. [/QUOTE]
