Good place to get dice?

[Tash]

I was wondering if anyone here knows of a good online source for dice.  My group has a quite limited quantity of D10s, basically one set for the players and one for the Seneschal.  I want to get a set for myself but the last RPG related store in the general area closed last week.  I refuse to drive 2 hours to buy $5 worth of dice, but I can't find a store online that will let me order just D10s....


Any advice?

I've had good luck with spellbinders http://www.spellme.com.  Look in their catalog section.  I can buy bulk bags of 50 dice of the same type for about 15 or 16 bucks.  (useful for riddle, donjon and sorcerer).  They also sell smaller sets and quantities.

regards,

I really like the sellection at Chessex.  They have some red and white ten-siders that are bigger than normal and have pipps instead of numbers, which happen to be my favorite dice.  They have also always been very fast in processing my order.

Koplow dice are the only way to go. There's really no comparison...at all. http://www.koplowgames.com/
Koplow goes to all the major conventions if you ever get near one. I've had Chessex dice a few years back dry rot, crack, and split on me (which I didn't even think was possible). At first I thought it was just a bad batch (cooked at the wrong temp or for the wrong amount of time) but since then I've heard a LOT of reports of the same thing from people all over the country, and on brand new dice that couldn't be from the same batch. I haven't had good luck with a lot of the other companies either, but Koplow dice apparently don't die...and don't fade, and don't scratch up, etc.... Good quality product.

Wow Dain, I had no idea.  I guess I'll go check out Koplow.  Thanks for the info.

Koplow unfortuneatly doesn't allow you to order dice directly from them.  You ahve to go to a retailer or convention...which puts me back to square 1....

So I ordered 2 sets of 10D10s from Spellbinder.  We'll see how they hold up in play.

Sorry about that...didn't know. Well...there's always the dealer tables at Gencon...but you're probably looking for a quicker solution.

Last time I checked, Koplow does accept orders.  But the orders have to be for $150 or more.  This may or may not have changed since I investigated. In any case, you can email them (link is on their site) and they'll send you a catolog.

Their web pages states "Sorry, at this time we do not accept orders from the general public, please contact one of our retailers".  If there is another way to get orders I didn't see it.

I'll see how I like my generic green spekled dice from Spellbinder when they get here....
