As per my promise before the game came out, I will not cease my harping on the ladies and gentlement of Fantasy Flight to contract out to other companies or develop some new plastics for...Dice.

I want different colored dice for WHFRP. Gimme.

It might be pricy, but I would pay through the nose to have another set of dice in the same colors but with swirled or pearled or speckled or translucent or frosted.

I played the demo and I dug it. I'm buying the game. Now sell me some sweet dice lest you be plagued by Nurgle's groin pox.

Custom dice would be cool and all, but I'd be pretty happy just knowing the release plan for 2010 (or at least the planned released plan).

I can get onboard with this request. I'd rather have something less... primary colored. Something more evocative of the Old World would be nice, looking aged and worn and stained and grubby.

Also, I wants me my monster supplement. With monster cards. And stand-ups and more freakin' bases. And, uh... NOW!

Dang these last couple of days have crawled by slowly... I keep hitting refresh on the Upcoming page but the box has not moved up the queue. What's up with that?

I'd throw down some serious cash for warpstone-looking black and green marbled WFRP dice.

I don't know exactly what serious cash is, but I would figure it out and totally throw it down.

Definitely waiting for some new dice.

I bought 2 expansion packs, and I intend to stay with them, until they release some better looking ones.

Or if waiting will be too long, I design my own, and order them from Q-Workshop (they make dice on demand, You just send them images).

I'd like the game first, then we'll talk dice.

Having bought a whole heap of additional dice for Descent, I'm going to go against the grain and say I'm a little thankful for all the dice being the same.

The game could be quite fiddly to pack up with all the counters and whatnot (I'll probably end up buying more counter trays like I did for Descent), so having to sort out dice for everyone could get annoying.

I wrote myself a little dice roller program with the dice symbols from the Dice Reference Chart on color coded backgrounds to use on my laptop when I GM. I also plan on printing out stickers and applying them to some of my old dice so my players don't have to share as much. Not perfect, but it's a cheap solution until they release some artsy pearled/marbled/gem/glow-in-the-dark dice. When they do that, I'm getting myself a whole set. I can't wait for some shweet FFG or 3rd party custom custom dice. Especially a 20 sided with all double chaos stars! Ha..

yeah, you have to admit - all the dice being different colours is very useful for differentiation between dice types. Cooler versions in the various colours would be awesome, but I'd rather see more content first

I'm all for this as long as they don't break the color pattern they've already established with the dice. The Fact that the dice work so color-oriented is brilliant. Honestly, I don't know if I'd be half as interested in this game if they didn't reinvent rpg the wheel with these dice. We've been playing with stickered dice ever since the demo day (without all the cards and what not), and I have to say, the dice really, really augment the storytelling on all sides. Players are pushed to be more involved, the GM is pushed not to ignore anything. Only once have we ever ignored any of the Banes/Boons as we find paying attention to them really adds flavor and turns the game upside down. I also let the players tell the story of the Banes and Boons. Heck, now the players have started telling the story of the Banes and Boons of the other characters. Sure, once or twice I've added or have to over ride the decision, but over all, these dice have not really changed my play style, they've simply enhanced it in ways standard dice cannot. I love them. My only problem with them, we play from a limited pool and having to trade back and forth is really slowing down the game from time to time. The Core also has a limited number so it won't really solve this problem. I want more dice packs and they still aren't even on the boat.

I would love to see some fancy versions. I'd prefer Chessex over Q-Workshop. I love Q, but they get pricey and honestly, all that fancy boarder work may make the symbols hard to see. We have this trouble with the stickers on standard dice and not being able to read the symbol quickly is a real pain. I am pretty sure that when we played, the Warhammer Dice seemed a little bigger than a standard die. Is that true? Can anyone confirm this? Still, the color pattern would have to remain, but I'd really like them to seem warn, more old-world, more rotten, more Warhammer.

I'll second that. I would like to have some cool variations if the dice eventually, but what I really want are more carefully crafted supplements, adventures, campaigns, careers, etc. I also agree that if fancy dice are added they need to keep the same color scheme as the core set.

Warpstone Dice.

OMG

Warpstone Dice.

Black/Green swirled dice with a metallic gold lettering.

OMG.

MINZORS.

Oh, let me be clear, I'm fully on-board with keeping the color scheme. I just hate flat looking crap dice.
Chessex would be the ideal partner for this. Their dice are by far the most interesting in terms of variation of styles.

Check out Chessex.com if you don't believe me.

There's no "thumbs-up" emote here, sadly. Most of my dice are the old Koplow marbelized dark green and black (with white numbers/pips). They're kind of hard to find, so I stock up when I can.

That said, custom dice would be better off color coded to be similar to the defaults. Still, more subtle tones of the existing colors would be pretty slick.

I want more setting information. The material included in the game is very sparse. If I was new to the game world I would have found it woefully inadequate.

I just checked out Q-Workshop, and they already have a deal with FFG to produce Arkham dice, so it seems fairly likely new WFRP dice won't be too far away.
