Really looking forward to these dice.
Thoughts?
Any other irregular dice?
I got their previous set and really like them. They are utterly unnecessary, pointless gimmick dice, but they actually roll well and I really like the designs.
I'd love to see them do more, or other companies try it out. I'd love to see a broader variety of themes, too. Other settings like sci-fi, or dice sets based on things other than classes. A loot set of relics and treasures or a monster set of fangs, teeth and claws could be very cool.

I just cant see these not rolling like shit.
Don't get me wrong, they do look sweet, but there is no way in hell those are balanced.

Their previous set was sort of unbalanced, but they say that this set is fine. Everything is balanced along their central axes. All of them, save the D20, are pretty much cylinders and "tear-drops", so all that matters is keeping each face the same.

>>48915483 here, I've been using my Warrior set for stuff and they honestly seem fine. The shield-d20 needs to be rolled a particular way, flipping it in the air before letting it drop, but it still works and the number outputs haven't been irregular.

Loot dice that looks like actual loot would be so fucking rad, lemme tell you. I'm pretty sure that they're gonna be doing more after this set.
Fun little side-note: They have a D2 shaped like a spellbook for backers.

The D12 and D10s look kinda unbalanced though. The others work just fine.

The designs aren't perfectly symmetrical, but it doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of weight distribution. My only complaint is that the d12 is a bit too round so rolling it can be a pain. I like the way they're doing the d12 in the wizard set, it'll likely work better.

I feel like the designs are better in the wizard set. The warrior stuff is cool and all, but the D6 and D4 are supposed to be a sword and dagger. They look more like lances or something. Gauntlets seem a little strange too. I like the mace and shield though, which would likely be what a fighter would use most often. The wizard-themed stuff just sorta translates better into dice-form, I think. Though the D20 is really just a fancy D20.

Yeah, I do think the company are improving as they go forward. And I'm all on board, because I'm a sucker who likes weird dice.
>>48915737
I'm just a sucker for wizard shit. These dice are just perfect for the rare occasions where I'm a player, since all I play is wizards. The colors are pretty cool too. I really like that loot-shaped dice idea though, I should e-mail them about it or something.

I keep meaning to mention it in the KS comments myself, I should get around to doing that.

Just backed the Wizard set so my fiancee can get it and I just placed an order for the Warrior set (Black and Goblin Green!).
I've used odd dice for years, it helps keep my sets from slipping into anyone else set at the table since I'm the only one with barrel dice, mini dice, dice with icons for either their lowest or highest numbers and shit like that.
This thread looks way too similar to one I saw earlier this week. Perfectly canned responses.
Stop trying to shill your ugly as sin dice here.
