There seems to be a problem with the price: when I wanted to order them, it used the list price to deduct my Pathfinder Advantage, so those dice would cost me 15.30 instead of 13,77.

So is the D12 the 'sloth' die, since it doesn't come out to play very often?
Or is it 'envious' of it's more popular cousins?
The d8 is sloth. Envy is on the d12 (though the prototype we were sent for the photo doesn't have the correct rune, which is why the photo shows a "1" instead of the rune).

The Pathfinder Advantage discount is always taken off MSRP, and it doesn't stack with other discounts. So it's working as it's supposed to.

What a rip-off. I want to cancel all my subscriptions and pending orders.

No, I'm not. I'm strung out on Pathfinder. Damn you guys!
:D
By the way, will there be other colours?
Envy green perhaps? lol

No, they're BONE, for they are carved from their ENEMIES! :D
You might note that this is called the "Rise of the Runelords" dice set.

Ick. They're cheater dice.
What I mean is that they're extremely busy, with lots of useless junk on the die face. Exactly the sort of dice favored by one of my players, who never seems to roll under a 16 on a D20...not that I can confirm it without walking over to him and getting within a few inches of the die.
I think this will be the first paizo product that I won't be buying, and will in fact ban from my game (just like I've banned all other Q dice).
Also...$20 for a set of 7 dice? Even the fanciest Chessex sets are half that price! $20 for a set of dice that are hard to read and encourage cheating? No thanks.

Gailbraithe:
Just wanted to note that these are NOT Paizo products, but rather licensed products from Q-Workshop. They do use our Pathfinder license and we will be eagerly selling them here on paizo.com, but we don't have any control over what prices they set on the products. Just wanted to be sure that was clear. :)

Oh, okay. Well, let me ammend my statement then: By hitching their wagon to paizo's star, Q-Workshop almost made a set of dice I'd buy. Almost.
I'd go with a different company, and a less busy design. I'd love to be get a set of red dice with black lettering and that sin symbols as the highest number, but all the scribbles on the sides of the die are really annoying.
You might note that this is called the "Rise of the Runelords" dice set.(Hmm—how would you follow up the "Rise of the Runelords" dice set...?)
Hm.. "Fall of the Runelords"? "Staying up of the Runelords"? "Hitting the Ceiling and Bumping the Head of the Runelords?"
Does the first one mean that we'll also get a runelords edition of falling?
(...)but we don't have any control over what prices they set on the products.
Oh, really? And how do you explain this email correspondence Xanderghul's spies have just sent me?
QW: "So, production of the dice will begin soon. Oh, and good news: We can lower the price a lot because of new production techniques.
Lisa S (oh, no, that's too obvious, we don't want to give away names here, let's call her L. Stevens): "No! You can't lower the price! In fact, we need you to raise it. The extra profit will go directly to Our Lord Karzoug's war chest to help him conquer those foolish barbarians and restore proper civilisation to these parts. Long live Greed!"
QW: "Okay then. Better than being turned to gold I guess."
LS: "You better believe it."
You didn't think that wouldn't get out, did you?
:P

That's not the dice's fault. It's your fault for not torturing the guy enough to set him straight. If you're underequipped, I have a MTK (mobile torture kit - they're neat, they transform every normal table into a proper torture studio - including proper straps to restrain the victim and a rubber mat with extra-high borders to prevent blood getting on the floor/carpet) I could lend you. ;-)
Did the price just go up several dollars?
No. The price of these dice was set incorrectly in the database and should now be correct at $18 MSRP.

Wow here something new that I didn't know was coming out. Question, will these be going out to other retailers or just here? Love Paizo, but there are certain things that I like getting elsewhere (ie showing support for that store or carrying Paizo products).
Plus, gives a reason to finally pick up a Q-Workshop diceset, ha ha.
thanks

Any chance of an ETA other than "August" on these yet?We hope to have them by Gen Con... but shipping from Poland can be unpredictable.
Actually, I'm told we're expecting them to be delivered to us *at* Gen Con, so we'll have them for sale at our show booth, and then we'll bring them back to paizo.com after the show.
I can't make out the numbers on these dice (except for the one '1' on the d12, which is not current design)
Am I not understanding the numeral system, or what?

I feel your pain regarding the 'cheater guy' in your group. One of ours must be his cousin...and the look on his face when I presented a dice tray (I camouflaged the need for it with people rolling dice off the table, and losing them, so it was only half a lie). Anyways, we had been using a tray for miniatures games for a bit. Guess what? His rolls are much more sane now...Gosh, amazing how a guy shooting 4 arrows a round fumbles once in a while with a dice tray (Thanks Paizo Fumble Deck!!!).
As far as Q Workshop: Yes, they are pricey, and the US dollar isn't helping that. However, they are made in Poland, not in a Chinese sweat shop,so I sort of expected that. Not for everyone,I know, but I love them.The bright solid colors are a refreshing change from Chessex's wishy washy 'raspberry swirl' style of dice.
The details: Some are better than others. I swear by the 'Runic' dice, but the Elvish, Cthulhu, many others are just too busy with strange little details. Anyways, the Pathfinder Dice look OK, but I'd like to see them in person before I buy.

The Rune is the '1', I suppose. You can't make out the numbers on the other faces showing? Click on the pic, for a close-up. The other faces clearly show numbers(80,40 on the 10s die, for example).
-Uriel
When will they be shipped?
Got a set of these at GenCon and used them in my PFS games. The dice gods were with me (and another GM as well) - these things were crittin' like fiends!
When will they be shipped?
BUMP...
Q Workshop and Paizo both had some at Gen Con (and I even snagged a set myself).

Well we know from Lil that they were to be had at GenCon. Vic said the dice were supposed to be delivered to Paizo at the con, so let's keep fingers crossed that happened.When will they be shipped?Excellent question.
Yes—they're being shipped back from Indy as we speak; hopefully we'll be able to start sending them out next week.

I hope so, too, especially because my beta print is set to ship together with this. But I don't want to preassure you guys - I might just be able to stand the agony of waiting even longer for my beta print.

Our convention shipment arrived in our remote warehouse, and we're moving the stuff we need to our local warehouse today. We still have to inventory it, but hopefully we'll have it all dealt with by Friday.

We've sold all we brought back from Gen Con, and more. We're expecting another shipment, and are now just trying to work out when it might arrive. I'll make it backorderable.Is my order part of the back order?!? I would really like my Beta in print...
Yep—your Beta is waiting for the dice restock. Would you like to have them shipped separately (incurring an additional shipping fee)?
