Koplow Games makes they kinds of dice already. Troll and Toad sells them as singles. To make them available, the easiest way would be to buy them in bulk from Koplow (who only sells wholesale anyway) and package them specifically for DCC.Colin wrote:I'd go for it. It'd need:
d3 (ideally d6 numbered 1-3 twice)*
d5 (ideally d10 numbered 1-10 twice)*
d7 (ideally d14 numbered 1-7 twice)*
d14
d16
d24
d30
* Using the standard dice shapes for these could potentially be cheaper and would certainly be more random in use.
They're very, very expensive. £5 ($7.75) for a single d7 (not inclusive of the extra £1.29 postage and packing, which brings the total cost for one die to £6.29 or $9.74)... You're better off ordering them over from the US to be honest (but not via Gamestation as their P&P charges are truly extortionate). I did a lot of running around trying to get various Gamescience dice together, both here in the UK and from the US, and P&P charges are incredibly variable. Some of the US-based Ebay sellers are actually a much cheaper bet, but even then you're still piecing together a set because GS don't do d30s.Outsiders68 wrote:http://www.thediceshoponline.com/enquiry.asp check these guys out.
I'm curious about this too because navigating their site is a nightmare.Machpants wrote:But they are not all the same design, I think. The Koplow d14/7 I have seen is an ugly as sin white with multi-coloured numbers monstrosity that is over sized. I know we can get them in bits in pieces but I want them as a nice set.
Or are you saying we can get a nice standard sized with matching colours set from koplow made up of individual dice? Their website is awful and hard to navigate.
I ended up piecing together a set from Troll and Toad of the Koplow dice. I couldn't get a matched set though. Doesn't really bother me at the moment as I just want the dice at the moment. If someone came out with a matched set for DCC though I am sure I would order a matching set. One, matching is nice, Two, I can use more of the unique dice to make playing with other friends easier.Colin wrote: I'm curious about this too because navigating their site is a nightmare.
This thread isn't just about getting some dice; it's about getting a decent matching set of all the necessary dice hopefully at a reasonable cost.
I, for one, would certainly throw more money at Goodman Games for an official set of DCC Dice.jonchappellnow2 wrote:DCCRPG seems to have surpassed everyone's high expectations and I am guessing that it is selling well.
There definitely seems to be an opportunity here for an "official DCCRPG dice set" that would include all of the dice, be reasonably priced, and have a unified color scheme.
I'm surprised that non of the traditional dice outlets haven't started packaging such a creation.
Once the word gets out of whomever does, I'd guess they would sell like crazy.

Tell them to buy a d7 then.Devil Swine wrote:In case you have never used this. Take it from me Players get pissy when rolling a D8 and they roll a 8 and are told to reroll because its 1d7.

It has been my experience that players who would get pissy rolling an 8 on a d8 and having to re-roll because they are looking for a number from 1 to 7 will actually get pissy no matter what type of die they roll.Devil Swine wrote:In case you have never used this.

That might actually reinforce the undesired behaviour.TheNobleDrake wrote:I do everything I can, short of giving him special treatment, to minimize the time he spends focusing on the bad die rolls and maximize the time he spends having fun playing the game
Thanks for the wishes of luck, but yeah... I don't give him special treatment at all though, he gets told to relax just like everyone else at the table does when they have moments of being a complete bummer - which is to say with tone and severity matching the level to which they are impinging upon others ability to enjoy the game.Raven_Crowking wrote:That might actually reinforce the undesired behaviour.
I would try:
"I am sorry you are not having fun, but that type of behaviour makes the game a lot less fun for everyone else. Accepting the rolls you get with good grace is part of being a good player, and no longer an optional social convention at this table."
Good luck with it!
