I also have a green one from someone else's B/X set. They're terrible soft crumbly resin, but I still use them regularly. I like the compact shape of those old 10-siders better than the big lumpy Gamescience 10-sider, and the Gamescience 8-sider is too pointy to be used as anything but a weapon while the old worn Basic Set 8-sider almost "rolls".Brooks Rowndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446341807546945889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-73240336028622497242013-02-09T09:20:32.195-08:002013-02-09T09:20:32.195-08:00I really hated those dice.

I can't remember if my first set were the hard ones that ended up coming apart but I don't think I've ever seen dice decay like those.Jason Zavodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109502376214104276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-15842123239670582272013-02-09T09:03:23.338-08:002013-02-09T09:03:23.338-08:00The dice I got with Moldvay Basic were red, but ot...The dice I got with Moldvay Basic were red, but otherwise the same as these brown dice from the expert set. I had them for several years, but I remember that they were cheaply made of a relatively soft material. In the summer we used to play outside on the driveway, and I recall that weeks of rolling the dice on the blacktop wore down the edges really bad. Most of the dice chipped and flaked and became unusable. I think actually deterioration of my dice is what forced me to go to an actual hobby store for the first time. You could get dice at most bookstores!Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908708023237168012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-88232591598805288102013-02-09T08:05:00.639-08:002013-02-09T08:05:00.639-08:00At first I thought those were the product of that ...At first I thought those were the product of that chocolate dice mould you can get. <br /><br />That's a sad story - I still have my three polyhedral RuneQuest 2 dice (red D4, blue D8 and green D10/D20), but my D6s from that set and all my pale blue polyhedrals from my Moldvay set are long gone. :(Vile Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431855585620506995noreply@blogger.com
