Small nitpick about the dice

By Gridash, in Genesys

So the dice of both Star Wars and Genesys are exactly the same, yet in the Star Wars dice packs, there is one "force die" more than in the Genesys packs, yet the prices are the same?

Would it have been so hard to lower the value of the packs by $1 or something?

I find the packs on their own already expensive, and usually people buy several of them. This seems like yet another implicit price increase to me.

It's 14 dice in both. SW only comes with one Challenge, Genesys has 2.

Good to know, it doesn't state that in the description though of the product.

"The Genesys Roleplaying Dice Pack features three Ability dice, three Difficulty dice, two Setback dice, two Boost dice, two Proficiency dice and a Challenge die , giving you everything you need to run your own game of Genesys ."

Thank you for clearing that up.

A proper complaint would have been "You don't have to give Disney a slice of that pie! Why not knock a buck off!"

Two reds, folks.

But no cardboard tokens.....

Also inflation.

I am definitely sick of these fatcat rpg developers driving their ferraris around on their yachts sipping champagne from Fabergé eggs. Give us a break down here!

A proper complaint is who let the fish-bird in?!?!

I'd complain but I bought 5 sets from miniature market. Apparently, my compulsive nature doesn't care about my budget. Heh.

It's such a waste, having a Ferrari but only driving it on your yacht.

Who said anything about the developers getting more money. This all ends in my pension fund. Eurazeo did not invest hundreds of millions into Asmodee shopping spree without expecting a profit.
Looking good so far. ;-)

Hey, that could be Sir Fish Bird, Knight of the Realm to you!

So true! Though owning gazillions of SW dice I ordered 5 sets as well...it felt...so right! :D

The colors are different and there are different symbols, sold! I wouldn't say I have Dice Madness but I've been known to succumb to a spell of it by and by.

What's the alternative; rolling it out onto the filthy, peasant-trod road?!

I feel inadequate having only bought 4 sets! C'mon reprint!

I was tempted but I've got like 6 sets of SW dice and the Star Wars app. It was a little too much.

Monagasque roads are free of the poor, thank you very much!

My dice have arrived. I really like the colors. Something I didn't expect, though, was how well I'm able to read the new symbols. The SW symbols were fine, but I'm liking these better in a purely subjective way.

I like how the advantage symbol looks like an A.

On the positive side, now that Wall Street is having a recruitment problem, competing with the ridiculous salaries in the RPG business, the next Crunch might be postponed for a while.
