D&D General Classic Adventure Themed Dice Sets From Beadle & Grimm's

Beadle & Grimm's, known for it's luxury version of official Dungeons & Dragons adventures, is set to release a selection of dice sets themed around various classic modules, including The Temple of Elemental Evil, Ravenloft, and White Plume Mountain. Each set comes in a box designed to look like th original adventure module, along with collectible coins and art.

The sets include Ravenloft, Tomb of Horrors, Vecna Lives!, White Plume Mountain, Temple of Elemental Evil, and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

Each has a felt-lined box, a standard dice set along with an oversized d20, two collectible coins, and four cards featuring artwork and information from the adventure.

The full set of 6 dice sets will set you back $178--but you will be able to buy them separately at a later date. The site says that the $178 bundle includes a $45 saving, so presumably the full price of $223 means that the individual sets will sell for around $37 each.

Not for me…however…I love Ravenloft and might have purchased if the product was the same set, minus the “coin”, and if the dice 1) could actually be read, I.e. had a better contrast between numbers and dice color, and 2) had a cool Strahd theme logo on the highest numbers on all the dice. Something to set it apart from every other red dice set I own.

Then it might have been a purchase. Games Workshop charges $35 for 16 d6s, but those have the faction logo on the ‘6’, so they at least have some additional appeal, if that’s your thing.

My thinking is very similar. I don't think I'd go $37, but without the coin (especially if that brought down the price a little) and with better dice quality and contrast the Tomb of Horrors or White Plume sets would definitely be more tempting.

I hope the Vecna Lives dice are intentionally malformed and misnumbered, to reflect the quality of that module.

Those are some janky dice though for a collectible. I feel they should have just charged $50 and included some resin sharp edge or somethin better.

My issue is claiming it's "just dice" when it's not.

I agree that's very expensive. I wouldn't buy it either but whomever buys the sets I'm pretty sure it's not "just for the dice".

You're misrepresenting the product.

I don't care. You've got 22 friggin messages to your name, half of them posted here. Go away.

If they ditched the coin, and dropped the price to $20-$25 these probably wouldn't be so bad. I could see this being the kind of thing I buy on a whim from an LGS for $19.95 just to spend a little money and support the store. Cute little box that can act as a dice tray and a thematic dice set? That's not a horrible idea.. But for almost $40.. Too much.

I think I'll stay, thank you. And if you really didn't care you wouldn't have bothered. Stay mad, and wrong. Bye.

Anyone know what the box is made of? It appears to be wood. The dice are apparently resin per the video, just don't really look it.

Weird that everything is 1e except for Vecna Lives! (gotta remember the exclamation mark), which is 2nd edition. I guess they wanted something with Vecna in the title. At least the cover for it was dope.

Mod Note:
Folks, neither of you is covering yourselves with glory, here. Please aim for a bit more maturity and respect for your fellow posters than this.

Maybe they're saving that for the Forest Oracle dice set.

Maybe they're saving that for the Forest Oracle dice set.

The forest oracle set are all d100's (the golf ball style ones) but each has several numbers missing and others repeated. At least one of them has a number over 100, and one is an actual golf ball.

lol, monetization of the IP ranks up there with D&D fashion wear and virtual minis and dice.
