The DICE PACKS: Randomized or Not???

By Emirikol, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

So what's up with these? AMAZON is saying that they are randomized packs. The Store says "at least one of each type." What's the deal?

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Extra Dice Set $11.95

WHF03 Availability: Not yet released. Expand your dice pool with this dice accessory pack for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. This package includes:

Each dice accessory pack features 12 additional dice. The set mix of dice in each pack includes at least one die of each type, perfect for players who want their own dice at the table.

When I pick up my two packs, I'll let you know. ;)

Hm... Well, all I can say is quote this:

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp?eidm=93&esem=2

"Expand your dice pool with this dice accessory pack for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. This package includes:

3 Characteristic dice (blue d8)
2 Reckless dice (red d10)
2 Conservative dice (green d10)
2 Fortune dice (white d6)
1 Expertise die (yellow d6)
1 Misfortune die (black d6)
1 Challenge die (purple d8) "

I can't really give any input as there is no listing for these on amazon.co.uk yet, but i would hope that the info FFG provides would be what you got, if its random that does sort of suck abit :(

I'd trust the FFG store. The listing on Amazon is probably just poorly worded. It doesn't suggest to me that they're random, just that there's at least one of each type. Also, 12 dice don't weigh 3 pounds.

Yeah, I agree with DagobahDave. It's probably just poor wording that leads to the conclusion that the packs can be random. It never says anything about randomness directly.

And "...includes at least one die of each type..." must be meant to be something like "... includes dice of every type...".

But even in its present form it does not actually contradict the fixed set of dice in the packs.

Bottom line:

It just highlights the fact that every kind of dice is included in the pack.

IIRC, the original plan for the dice was to have them in randomized packs, but that was changed before release.

Thus, I believe the Amazon description to be old info.

There's no mention of 'random' on the amazon listing. It's just ambiguous wording.

Actually, I've just noticed this:

"The set mix of dice in each pack includes at least one die of each type..."

So it actually says there that they are not random. :)

On the other hand, if I bought dice that weren't random, I'd want my money back.

That's going to make a great joke with my player. I'll let him know that they're MMO dice. They're not randomized. They're just "WIN" dice ;) Only hammers come up.
