Got mine today! Great service and came with handy scratch paper for tracking hp, secret notes, etc.!mikepmarkey wrote:The current Ebay sale ends today...
Another +1 for these dice sets. They are a little unevenly-sized as shown in previous pics, but good quality, priced more than fairly, well-packaged, and shipped promptly. Thanks Mike.
I just ordered the limited edition gold foil book from them on their site. They charged me and then let me know it was out of stock and will issue a refund. Not exactly a horror story, but points to problems that support this opinion.haiiro wrote:BoardGameGeek is down or I'd point you there for feedback on CCG Armory, but the short version is: Be very wary of ordering from them. Horror stories far outnumber good experiences and more than outweigh their generally good prices.
Wait to say that until you actually get the refund. Seriously.beatniktom wrote:I just ordered the limited edition gold foil book from them on their site.

I posted this to a site and someone tried to buy and got an error checking out of the store. I'll point him here.mikepmarkey wrote:So the Ebay dice listing expired again. A friend of mine used to run a simple website just for selling custom game bits he had made using his laser cutter (formerly at http://www.bgtokens.com/shop), and he suggested I should do the same and not bother with listing a re-listing all the time. So, since he's much more web-savy than I and was offering to help, I figured why not?
So the same dice can be found here:

...and that's all (at least for now).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a great price, right?mikepmarkey wrote: So the same dice can be found here:

I do have one of your sets. This is my desired dice shapes. I wish we had smaller sizes and more color choices though!mikepmarkey wrote:Oh my... I'll try to get some more but it might take a couple weeks. As to price, I just wanted to save people the trouble of trying to locate "odd" dice. Thanks for patience with the site-- my "webmaster" is visiting family in Africa and I'm doing my best....
Will continue to check on that. I know there's other colors for some shapes, but not others-- particularly the d7/d14.cthulhudarren wrote:I do have one of your sets. This is my desired dice shapes. I wish we had smaller sizes and more color choices though!
I don't see a way to add these to the shopping cart.mikepmarkey wrote:OK, got some more up and added different different colors where I could get them.

All of your DCC dice on one cueball-sized, illegible sphere! (And I say this as an actual owner of one.)
I would totally get and use one of those -- but my enigma machine broke down...sniderman wrote:Anybody ever considered using Gamescience's d-Total?

Thank you, you sir, are a hero. I'm actually excited to never use anything but a d8, d10, and d12 again as per an earlier post but I don't expect my players to use m4th and still have fun, and I also am super excited about the huge d7 and d14!mikepmarkey wrote:Dagnabit....

Just a bit confused for the d14, d16, d20, d24, d30 - what is meant by "control die" and the parts about "high is +X"?finarvyn wrote: Someone pointed out that you can even play DCC with only 3 dice total: d8, d10, and d12.![]()
d3 = d12 divided by four
d4 = d8 divided by two -or- d12 divided by three
d5 = d10 divided by two
d6 = d12 divided by two
d7 = d8 re-roll 8's
d8 = standard
d10 = standard (I'm old and remember when it wasn't)
d12 = standard
d14 = same as d7 but with a control die (high is +7)
d16 = d8 with an control die (high is +8)
d20 = d10 with a control die (high is +10)
d24 = d12 with a control die (high is +12)
d30 = d10 with a control die (middle is +10, high is +20)
Since the 3 dice is all dice thing was my little pet project, allow me to explain:modemaus wrote: Just a bit confused for the d14, d16, d20, d24, d30 - what is meant by "control die" and the parts about "high is +X"?
Thanks!
Got it! I think it was unclear about whether the "8 is high" applied to the control die or the primary die, and also unclear about what kind of die to use as control die. Would be great if instead use a d2 (6-sided with 3 labels of 1, 3 labels of 2) as the control die this way you could just multiply primary die by control die. But then you increase the amount of die you have to use to 4 though, so, maybe not =)TheNobleDrake wrote: Control die refers to using a 2nd die of any type - in the case of a d14 you would be rolling a d8, re-rolling any 8s until they aren't 8, and rolling a 2nd die of any type... if that die rolls low, then 1-7 on the d8 refer to 1-7, if that die rolls high, you add 7 to the result showing on the d8 (so 1 is 8 and 7 is 14).
The "high is +X" parts simply refer to that process in shorthand.
If you have any further question about how you can use nothing more than 1d8, 1d10, and 1d12 with a little creativity to represent every die in DCC's dice chain - I'd be glad to answer, even repeat and rephrase answers.
Ah, yes, but multiplying is not how it works. To wit:modemaus wrote:Got it!
