After my initial test of Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, I decided it wouldn't hurt to have a lot more dice. But dice are kind of pricey, at least if you go through normal gamer channels. But, as it turns out, there is an alternative source for dice in bulk.
Teachers' Suppliers.
Turns out, polyhedral dice are still marketed as educational tools. And, as long as you don't care about aesthetics, you can get a bag of sixty (60) dice for under twenty five bucks with shipping. That's ten complete sets. Here's how they looked when I aired them out.
Anyway, if you need a bunch of dice, either for your game system of choice for loaner sets or whatever, this seems like an excellent inexpensive option. Here's a link to the set on the vendor's, EAI Education, webpage.
It turns out that this setup is IDEAL if you have new players that don't yet know all the shapes of the dice. "Roll a red one" is simple advice. "That's a d20". :)
ReplyDeleteThose look suspiciously like the dice the LGS used to sell one by one.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. My wife's a teacher. That's a great idea.
