[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9025682, member: 18182"] The article doesn't "miss" talking about proprietary dice, it just not what the article is about. At least not Part 1. Perhaps OP will get to those special dice later. In games that I've played where the game was well designed and the theme was one I was excited about . . . proprietary dice ADDED to the experience for me. In games where the design was clunky, or the theme was not to my liking . . . the special dice seemed like a pain in the rear and I struggled to make sense of the various symbols. I haven't played FFG's Star Wars game yet, so have no direct experience with that set of dice . . . but from what I've read and from folks I've talked to, it's the same thing. If an individual loves Star Wars and groks the game system, they tend to LOVE the dice. If they are merely okay with Star Wars and aren't fans of the game system, they are less fond of the dice. I'm certainly curious to give the game and dice a shot, but . . . . no legal digital ebooks and my gaming pals are not interested in the game. [/QUOTE]
