After seeing the dice for the Rise of the Rune Lords campaign I'm counting on paizo to pull out another awsome set for Curse of the Crimson Throne. however the description isn't quite as enticing as I would have hoped. Mayhap they look better than they sound?
We don't actually design them—Q-Workshop does. (We do get to approve them, though.) We haven't actually seen this set yet, but we're expecting mockups soonish.

Are these still scheduled for a January release? Still no pictures of them and I didnt see them on the product schedule for January. I hope so as Im looking forward to getting them.
I haven't been able to get ahold of the Q-Workshop guys since before Christmas so I can't say when these dice will be released (but January is looking unlikely). I'll post when I hear more and I apologize for the delay.

No problem. Was just wondering when Id be able to throw money at them is all. Thanks for the response =0)
We've now got an image of the dice! The first shipment, which should cover current preorders, should be leaving Poland this week; the second shipment, which will be a bit larger, will follow a couple of weeks later.
DiegoV, the dice don't appear on our product schedule page because the schedule only tracks products we publish directly; Q-Workshop is the manufacturer of record for these.

Huzzah!
I really like my RotRL dice so Im looking forward to getting these. The Borders I work at has a listing for some Second Darkness ones but not these so I wasnt sure they were still planned, thats why I was looking through the product schedule. (By the way, I eat my 33% discount from Borders to buy direct from you guys to show my support)
The Borders I work at has a listing for some Second Darkness ones but not these...These are the only Second Darkness dice in the works—what is it about the listing you have that suggests it's not this set?
And thanks for your support!
Mostly that these are CotCT dice and the listing we have is for Second Darkness dice (with an estimated release of April 09). See I was trying to look up these dice (CotCT) at work so I could see if there was a street date listed but I couldnt find them, which is why I looked up the Product Schedule. But I did see SD ones listed for April. They could be these misnamed. *shrug* Its happened before (they did have an ISBN attached to them I can get for you if youd like).

D'oh! Please allow me a second to stuff my brain back into my skull before continuing.

Ahh. Well, Q-Workshop is indeed planning a Second Darkness set, but it will be a few months behind the Crimson Throne dice set, so I'm surprised that you're seeing that set in the system before you're seeing Crimson Throne. It could be that somebody mixed up which set was next, or it could be that somebody forgot to solicit the Crimson Throne set. We'll let Q-Workshop know, and hopefully they can sort it out.

That would help solve the mystery... the ISBN for the Crimson Throne dice is 978-1-60125-156-5; the ISBN for the Second Darkness Dice would be 978-1-60125-171-8.

Ok, I will check that. I am off tomorrow so I will check on Thursday. In either case Im excited for the CotCT dice and for the possible SD dice as well!

I got the ISBN. It is for the Second Darkness dice not the CotCT ones.

We'll let Q-Workshop know there may be a problem with the book trade solicitation for the Crimson Throne dice. Thanks for your help!
One suggestion for improvement, even though the dice look really cool, it has bothered me in recent years that companies started shipping dice sets with only 1d6, when so often, rolling d6s, you need more, sets used to ship with 4d6, and it would totally be worth the price increase if I could get a set of dice with 4d6.
Since most damage done by wizards use d6's, a block of 24 would be nice.

Some sets still come with 4d6. Helps with character generation if you use dice rolling.
Beyond that, the only permanent solution to the d6 problem is to get a 36er block.

It wouldn't be for me - I've got plenty of "fireball" (red) and "lightning bolt" (white) dice, from cubes. I don't need more D6s with a typical die set, and it'd bump up the price by close to 50%.
Just wanted to post another perspective....
