So after struggling with the various "cursed dice" the last couple of sessions...
and Si mentioning the "Pound o Dice"... I decided to do some research
It would appear that the ever popular "Chessex Pound o Dice" is really quite random, and there were reports of people getting like 30x d4 and 2x d8 etc... plus loads of "unusable" dice... which kinda defeats the purpose of getting a whole bunch of dice...
Then I found reviews of
a pack of 100+ dice from "Wiz Dice"... For this pack, it seems that "random" relates to the colours that you get... a lot of people get a fair few complete sets... with some getting as many as 16 sets!!
So then it was a matter of tracking down a retailer... I discovered, like Si, that Amazon will let you add it to your cart, then spit the dummy at your shipping address
I finally found one on Ebay, so I decided to spend some of the USD lying around in my Paypal account... and have just shipped it via NZPost's YouShop service (send it to US address, they forward it on... at a surprisingly reasonable rate
)
Should end up costing something like NZ$40-45 including shipping... and I'm guessing that even with shipping delays, it should show up before our next session
Anyone want to reserve a set... or three?
