Additional Dice

By Flashie_Dirk, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Finding and passing one set of dice slows things down to much in my games. I'd love to order another set. I was surprised this wasn't already a product that was offered.

The last thing I would do is use an app to roll dice for a board game. It takes away the fun of actually rolling the dice and allowing the interation of physical dice with the table to determine your fate.

We want more dices!!!! I do not want players to use the iphone for playing because they break the atmosphere as from time to time they are watching if somebody answered them. Ok let's play as always!!!

I would definitly buy another set.

I would buy 1 - 2 additional dice sets!

Well, now that I made my own dice… I don't think I would buy additional sets.

I would buy a new set as well. Maybe even a fancy looking Overlord set of dice will be available in the future.

I'd buy a set if only because there are never enough blue dice lingering around.

Perhaps i've lost one already?

So no new news on if dice will be available?

I actually thought about buying another 2nd edition base set just for additional dice.

Put me in for four sets should they become available.

I would also love an extra 2-4 sets of dice.

Oh Christ! If the expansions have their own dice we're never going to see extra sets.

Come on FFG, you're killing us.

Last weekend, I compared the 2nd edition dice with the 1st edition ones, hoping that they'd be compatible in some way. No dice (sorry for the pun). But I did notice that there are no green dice in 2nd edition.

And then came the second expansion along, adding the green dice back. So maybe FFG were simply holding back the additional dice sets until all dice were introduced in the game. One can hope …

I also would buy at least two sets…

OK i surely will need some more dices as soon as i will buy the game 2 more sets minimum!

I doubt that's the case.

For one thing, FFG always sells things in packs that don't require expansions to use. Even if they knew they were going to add green dice in Labyrinth, I suspect they'd want to sell packs of "core set" dice and possibly packs of "Labyrinth" dice separately.

Secondly, we still don't know for sure if future expansions will add new dice to the game. FFG may not even know as yet whether or not they'll add more dice in later expansions that haven't been designed yet.

Maybe they're still mulling over whether or not they want to sell dice separately since these dice are all plastic (the packs would have to be expensive - relatively speaking - to cover the costs of plastic these days.)

Personally, I think I would like some extra defense dice, at least. Not sure that I really need extra attack dice. However, there were a couple of posters a few pages back who had some pretty good alternative methods for making their own custom dice. If you don't want to wait on FFG to make a decision (and you may end up waiting a long time if you do), you could investigate those options.

I would buy atleast 2 sets

I would be all up in some dice. 4 sets easy.

Just played my first game with friends. OMG give me some extra dice already. Give me a place to pre-order some dice sets. Please take my money!!!!

Just to add my "vote" to this thread:

I would absolutely buy at least one extra dice set, in order to have one set for the heroes and one set for the overlord. I believe that's the bare minimum…

Here's to hoping FFG decides to release those dice sets soon!

Hooray! They're releasing extra dice!

Yes! Best day ever!

and no green dice in the set :/

i will still be buying two sets. let those "heros" share.

I see four sets in my furture. Now we just need some Warhammer FRP dice!

Don't worry! If post-Labyrinth expansions want to use green dice, they'll have to include them in those sets, too. I imagine there's quite a bit of design space in using the green dice, so as long as you keep buying expansions, you'll probably wind up with more green dice than you know what to do with.
