As a DM, I’d use them more frequently.įrom Wizards’ perspective, I could see how the cardstock could make the item more pricey and that players might be buying the dice to use in their Descent Into Avernus campaigns, so giving away monster stats might be a bad idea. The reverse is an illustrated map of Avernus that’s also in the Avernus adventure module.) But I wish the papers were printed on slightly thicker cardstock and that they had monster stats on the reverse rather than Volo’s journal entries. (A fold-out mini poster that depicts the relative size of each of the demons and devils is a nice touch, too. The papers are neat tools for Dungeon Masters to use at the table when they want to show their players exactly what an infernal chicken or balor looks like. This is one of the coolest parts of this set but also the one that could use more work. The reverse of each paper (they’re just a little too thin to be called a card) included a description from Volothamp Geddarm, he of Volo’s Guide to Monsters fame. Inside the box was the rest of the miscellany: A stack of glossy papers depicting demons and devils that adventurers might encounter in Avernus. The artwork comes straight off of the Descent Into Avernus game store-exclusive cover, and they make a perfect pair. It’s printed paper glued to cardboard or plastic, but it’s not flimsy. The dice come in a pretty, felt-lined dice box. (Your standard 7-piece RPG set has a d20, d12, d8, d6 and d4 as well as two d10s.) This one has two d20s to utilize 5e’s advantage/disadvantage mechanic, and four total d6s, because a variety of classes roll multiple d6 for damage. It’s also an 11-piece set, which is perfect for 5th edition. The material is a little light, and it may make them feel different in your hands, but they seem to roll well. (They’re easy to read.) They’re standard size and will fit well with your other sets. The dice colors are consistent, and I really love the gold numbering. Let’s start with the dice: They’re red, maroon and purple swirls with gold ink, and they look quite cool. And the extras are useful, entertaining and pretty cool.
They were actually pretty decent dice but, frankly, the price was too high to justify what was simply a dice set and a tin.īut the Avernus set has more. I’ll be honest: I was disappointed with official D&D dice sets in the past. The set retails for $24.95, a liiiiittle pricey for a dice set, but you’re getting a lot more than dice and you just might be all-in on Descent Into Avernus. (Technically, this product is labeled “Dice & Miscellany” because there’s a lot more than dice in this little box.) With Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus on the way from Wizards of the Coast, they produced an accompanying dice set with a few fun extras. When you shop at Dark Elf Dice, we know you'll find something awesome for Dungeons & Dragons and all your favorite tabletop roleplaying games.This isn’t the first official dice set created for a brand-new D&D adventure. That's why we offer one of the biggest RPG dice collections on the internet. We're excited about RPG dice and we know you are too. I consider myself a dice expert, and it makes me happy to share my love for games and dice with fellow gamers and collectors around the world. RPG dice have really got a hold on me :) I collect them, sell them, and play with them. The game was totally unlike anything I'd ever played before, and I still get goosebumps remembering how excited I was to create my very first character and roll those weirdly shaped dice on the dining room table.Ī lot of time has passed, and it's hard to believe that all these years later I'm still playing Dungeons & Dragons and that I created a family business focused on those weirdly shaped dice. In fact, my first introduction to the game was shortly after Christmas in 1982. Some argue D&D is the world's best TTRPG, and who's to say otherwise? I count myself fortunate that I was around during the time D&D rose to prominence in the '80s.
Ah yes, Dungeons & Dragons - the game that started my fascination with tabletop roleplaying games.
