Tonight I went looking for dice to give away Shire Con next month. I gave away a set for the best death at Gary Con this past March and I'm thinking about giving a set to each player at my Swords & Wizardry Light session. So a shopping I went at Amazon.
Below are some of my possibles that I looked at as well as the one dice I decided on. I left commentary with each. You may find you like something that I wasn't fully satisfied with. Then i found glow in the dark dice. Oh, and a metal set I simply must own. They will match my chainmail dice bag perfectly :)

ReplyDeleteCheck out Die Hard Dice...great dice sets and some very cool portable dice trays!
ReplyDeleteThe Bescon glow-in-the-dark set has to come from China. Instead, I got 6 sets for a hair over $13 - also from China.

I got burned by glow-in-the-dark dice before... some sci-fi ones that were supposed to absorb some kind of UV light and then glow. The sun wasn't good enough. I didn't bother buying a special lamp for them. They also came from China.
ReplyDeleteMy main set are GameScience glow-in-the-dark, pale green like the Loc-Nar. I only buy GS, usually only from Lou at GenCons, but the prices on his web store aren't ridiculously high.
