How many dice sets are you ordering?
Published on 15 March 2013 - 07:13:25

I have one from the beginner set, and I preordered at least one more as I think it would be very helpful to have two sets.  I'm trying to figure if it's worth getting a third set.  What do you think?  And, do you they'll sell out of dice sets, or do think there will be plenty to go around?

0.  While I enjoy the dice system for this game, high skill/modified rolls can involve upwards of 10+ dice which is insane for a small or even medium sized table.

Too many dice, too easy to get lost/mixed up/disappear (not to mention germiphobes nightmare)

 

I plan on using a tablet with dice app plugged into large 19"+ external monitor for everyone at the table to see

I have the application on me iPhone and iPad, but I'm planning on buying another set (order the one I have with the beginner's set)

Great idea!  But, I just like rolling dice too much and roll in a small dice tray when needed.

A tray or a tower work great for this.

I have two Beginner's boxes and have 5 sets of dice on order…  I like a lot of dice available at my table.

Currently have the Beginner set dice and homemade dice from two beta books for a total of 3 sets. It's usually enough around the table, so I'll upgrade my homemade ones eventually.

I have 2-3 sets of homemade dice, but they are starting to wear (I printed copies of the sticker sheet, rather than using the original), plus one beginner box set. I have 2 more sets on order to replace the homemades.

I have one set from the BG, and another set preordered. But I can certainly see myself buying more sets post-release, when I'm walking around downtown and looking to separate myself from some dough.

Which is pretty ridiculous, since I'll probably never get to play this game. I just love them dice! :D

Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?

Why won't you get to play the game? Are you still running a campaign in Saga Edition and struggling to bring your players over?

I can't speak for I. J. Thompson, but that's certainly my problem at the moment.

I've got two sets of dice filched from beginner sets and one on order. I certainly won't rule out buying more after release if I can get a discounted price on them.

For me it's basically just no players/no time. Doesn't seem to stop me from buying the stuff, though! :D

RE: Yoshiyahu

I've given some thought to that issue since it was a similar problem for me. My SAGA campaign ran out of steam towards the end of last year. They accomplished the majority of the campaign and then there was a TPK close to the end of the game when they were attempting to break a Jedi out of prison. The mission wasn't the grand finale, but certainly pretty close to it, needless to say I took a bit of flak for not just handwaving them into being captured themselves, but the campaign was already labouring.

Now that the new FFG version has come out, I was quite excited to start something new and bring some of those players back but I've already had some of them tell me that they are unwilling to leave the SAGA ed campaign and start a new one since they felt it was unfinished. I haven't yet worked out how to entice them across, but when I do I'll be sure to post it.

RE: I.J. Thompson

Strange since you were fairly prolific back in the SAGA ed days on the WoTC boards. What happened to all your players? Or were you a collector then too?

*Edit: These forums seem to be trickty to use.

**Edit: I give up, why wont you just give it to me in straight BBCode please, no fancy formatting tools.
