Summary: Fast to Get
Review: I don't live in the USA, so getting some dice is very hard, especially when my friends are thinking on getting themselves some. So i told them to get this box that is cheap compared to the price of the trip to the nearest gaming store, and they are available in the bookstore around the corner. Yea, you may complain about the expensive, but some people don't have the time to go looking fo the final gaming store/website where to find the good products, they just want to start playing. That is what this set is all about.

Summary: Worth it?
Review: I would have to say that if you were going to get a dice set there are many different places online that sell products like the "Pound-O-Dice" that will have all the die you need to play this and many other games. THere are more die that would be usefull that don't come in this set either, such as the D3. It is used within the D&D games and other for that matter. To be Honest I have got this set and find that it is sadley lacking on the rules side and I found myself buying the comple DMG, PHB and Monstrous Manual before my second setion of AD&D. So just a point get the core rule books and a good LARGE set of dice if you are really interested in playing, and if your not sure find a group to try it out with first.

Summary: d20
Review: I'd like to start off by defending this product. Sure, 7 bucks is a bit steep for some dice, but look at it this way: these are pretty obscure dice. It's not like you can rummage through your old RISK set and pull out a 20 sided dice. My friends and some of my family members enjoy playing D&D, and, having just received my dice set today, I had mixed thoughts. At first I was stupified that the set cost 7 dollars, but it also comes with a bonus beginners D&D game, introducing all the rules and settings of the game. Though the adventure is a bit small, it is a great way to start the game and definately boosted the value of the dice set (boosted to 7 dollars though? thats debateable). Anyway, I think these dice are a good idea because it stands the nexus of unlimited opportunity to Dungeons and Dragons, and other d20 games. They are a must for any beginner to the games. As for veterans looking simply for more dice, a trip to the local collector's shop would proabably suffice and leave you with a couple more bucks in your wallet.

Summary: D20 dice set
Review: It is a very useful tool for most of the RPG's games taht uses this system of dice rolling, and really recomended it because it really helps you in building your adventure

Summary: Useful But Could've Been Better!
Review: The basic tools were given. Basically the dice. However, it seems like Wizard's of the Coast would have provided a more in depth explanation for new comer's to the d20 system to make it more user friendly. Like d20 For Dummies.

Summary: Colorful, functional, and a bit overpriced.
Review: The introduction won't help too much unless you're really not sure if you'd like to play. In order to play either game you'll need to purchase more dice AND more rules.Most game shops sells sets of dice for the same price or less but include 3 d6 and 2 d10 (and you really should have at least 4 d6, or better yet, 2 full sets) Plus, you'll need at least the core rule books to play anyway. Save yourself the time, make the decision to play and do it. This set will sit in the back of your closet with the magic crystals you got for christmas 5 years ago, OR you'll end up bying the core rulebooks and a full set of dice or two anyway.

Summary: For the Desperate Only
Review: The sole advatage of buying these dice is that they are sold at your local chain bookstore. The instructions are obtuse and redundant, and the dice are cheap, small, and only one of each type is provided. Advice: take your ~[$$] to a hobby store and pick out your own dice or failing that buy for [$$] the D&D introduction game that includes the same identical dice, and get a few goodies as well. As a note it sickens me when for the price they charge for cheap, [discount chain store] quality dice they couldn't throw in another set, or at the bare minimum include the 10-00 10 sided die as a complement to the 10 sided dice that comes with the 'System dice.'

Summary: Colorful, functional, and a bit overpriced.
Review: This set of dice is identical to the set that comes with the D&D Adventure game, except this set includes a purple percentile die. For those who aren't familiar with the adventure game, the dice are: an orange d20, a yellow d12, a green d10, a purple percentile die, a blue d8, a red d6, and a black d4. The inking on all the dice is white, except for the d12 which has black inking. The free adventure isn't very good. These dice are more expensive than what you'll find at deidcated game stores.
