Review on Dragon Scale Metal Dice Set For D&D, Polyhedral RPG Dice With Leather Bag - Orange Blue-Golden Number by Ryan Hoover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Steampunk greebles!

I'm a big fan of dice and at this point, have collected too many sets to count. I'm also a fan of steampunk characters in Dungeons & Dragons settings, notably my mad gnome artificer Calc. So I'm always on the lookout for new steampunk-style dice, which is a combination of metal heft and legibility. This set does both.The metal, ancient bronze in this case, has a nice contrast that makes the numbers pop. Although it's two-toned dice, the background is dark enough to show the numbers legibly. In addition tot he gears in the corners of each die, there are little "greebles" (a term from Star Wars, basically mechanical-looking parts that don't do anything) surrounding each number. They're not too disruptive and only surround the numbers, which helps maintain legibility.Also, the six and nine are clearly marked with an underline (not a dot, which I find easy to miss when you've got greebles too!). The dice are all the same size, which I don't mind as it makes them easier to store than the new trend of making larger 20-sideds that don't fit in with the rest of the set.At under twenty bucks, this set is just fancy enough, just durable enough, and just steampunk-y enough to be my go-to set for my artificer characters.
