Heads—and dice—will roll!
Paizo Publishing and Q-workshop are proud to bring you the 100%-official Pathfinder: Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path dice. These masterfully crafted dice feature yellow numerals inscribed on crimson polyhedrons.
Good colors that are natural together and easy to read. A crown replaces the highest number on each die, which is flavorful, but the rest of the design seems flat and doesn't evoke the AP. Overall I like the set and it's one of the twenty sets I carry with me each week, but it's lacking that special something.
I bought them at the RPC in Cologne this weekend. They are beautyfull, but the d20 has a 6 and a 9 with a difference that cannot even be called marginal. The "triangular shape on top" that works with d10 and d12 wont help with this one.
The dice are beautiful. Very fancy. The use of the colors of Korvosa is a very nice touch! I can't wait to use them when I run CotCT!
Unlike the other reviewers, my d20 has pips to denote the 6 from the 9. Even if it didn't, the top of the numbers would have had a triangular pattern above them while the bottom would have space. Odd. Maybe the mistake was caught in production, but a little late?
I love everything Q-Workshop does, they are my dice company of choice. I think this is my 5th set of dice from them and I plan to buy the set for Second Darkness when it comes out. I love their dice cups, I love their dice bags. In short, I like this company a lot.
But... the 6s and the 9s look exactly the same on these dice. There is no little dot in the corner to indicate proper reading. Sometimes the correct number can be figured out by reading the other faces and comparing the position of the numbers on the faces of the die. However, the d20 has the exact same figure printed side by side in the exact same position. So the only way to get the right number is by checking the opposite side of the die and adding that number to the first result to get 21 for a d20, 13 for a d12, or 9 for d10. It's a small problem that could have been easily solved in design.
I advise a buyer to use the tip of knife and put a tiny dimple next to the bottom of the number to indicate "down" and used a yellow crayon to color it in.
