What types or brands of dice do you use?

Error

That's how we roll (2014)

I would like to start a new discussion about dice! Which ones do you use?

Me, I am a huge fan of the Chessex 12mm dice blocks. You get 36 dice in each of them, which is often enough for everyone. Also, most gaming stores also have a "random dice" box where you can score a few more 12mm dice of varying colors for Wild Dice for like 25 cents each. I prefer their 'Borealis' line because they're sparkly and it's easy to see the pips even from across a table.

But anyway, what dice do you use?

I've always been a big fan of Chessex dice too. I never cared for dice that have a dot instead of a line denoting the 6s and 9s.

As for buying "random" colors, I can't do that because while there are particular colors I like, there are also particular colors I just can't stand looking at. Call me finicky.

I don't care for Borealis dice all that much. I prefer solid colors like Frosted Carribean Blue and Frosted Teal. Then again, I also like Velvet Black (which is more of a grey mixed with black highlights and red numbers). For my upcoming SWD6 group, I bought 5 D6s each of the above colors along with 5 D6s each of Translucent Red, Yellow and Green, along with 1 Opaque White and Black D6 to serve as the Wild Die. (31 6-siders should be more than enough for the campaign, especially if the other players bring their own dice.)

I can't wait to use them when we start gaming in 2 weeks!

I have a wide assortment, but most of the brands are Chessex, Gamescience, and Crystal Caste. I prefer the 16mm dice to the 12mm blocks. I bought one set from Q-Workshop. It's beautiful, with the ornate inscriptions on them, but they're a little hard to read.

I honestly do most of my gaming online, these days, so my dice rolls are all silicon and sparks.

That said, I much prefer metal dice to plastic ones. They can run a pretty penny, but there's something about the heft and the solid clunk you get from rolling them onto the table.

A mix of Chessex and Wiz Dice, with my six-siders being a hodgepodge mix of sizes and colours, and kinda vary between numbers and pips.

I'm the same way. I have a crazy hodgepodge of dice but I don't mix them up in use.

I've never really cared myself. I have all the dice from both sets of Axis and Allies, Fortress america, and several dips in various "buckets o dice' at conventions filling my bags..

Good gawds, all these hodge-podge, mismatched dice you guys have...it sounds like as much of a logistical nightmare as trying to keep the Rebel fleet supplied in working order. Razz

See here for what I mean.

I don't know what brand dice mine are. I ended up finding a spot that sold black dice with white numbers and a skull & crossbones out of a huge bucket which turned into the large portion of my collection. I seem to recall buying 40 at the time, and I think I'm probably down to maybe 30 or so of the main blacks.

I've gotten multiple sets of proper gaming dice and appropriated the D6 from those for my wild die to use with the skull dice.
