Anybody Else Use Larger Dice?

[paul]

Hi Everyone:

I've been playing the game for about nine months now and have been having a blast with it. However, I have to admit I'm not a fan of the mini dice.

At first it was just the unfamiliarity of using a smaller than usual product but my biggest problem was that they had a tendency to roll out of my hand and land on the floor. If they rolled underneath the furniture they were a giant pain in the butt to locate. Finally, I went down to my local dollar store and bought a big pack of regular sized dice. (I use the extra ones as fatigue tokens)

Does anyone else use bigger dice or am I the only one?


P.S.: Tom, if you're reading this please don't take offense. Overall you've created a fantastic game. This is my only real quibble with it.

When I played, I'd normally use regular sized dice. The mini dice are fun but way way way too easy to lose.

Paul, I switched to standard-sized dice years ago. My mom actually found me some extra large dice that can double as erasers that are the same blue and red colors as the dice that come with the game. I used those for a while but now just use standard-sized ones.

I bet a lot of promoters switch to standard-sized dice over time. We've all had the frustration of losing the tiny dice under a piece of furniture.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

When I was playing COTG feds regularly, I would use a larger set of blue and red dice for those matches and a pair of brown-and-blue swirled dice for LOW. I have no idea why I started doing that but I enjoyed having different dice for my different feds. I still use the swirled dice for playing my USWA (LOW fed).

When I started playing last century, I began with the dice that came with the game but not too long after switched to standard sized dice. The funny thing is a few years ago I ordered a set, I think it was the reimagined starter set and I decided to use the small dice. I have been using them ever since. I have grown to like the compact size.

Hi

Dice the size of dice used in the game Monopoly.

...except no "pips" on the dice, they are NUMBERS because I'm too lazy to add pips all the time, haha!

Oh, and different colored dice, one blue, one red, just like the orig oh yeah! Although they are translucent, like this: www.gmdice.com/products/transparent-6-sided-dice

Later!

I have about 5 sets of the tiny dice, nd I almost always use them. However i must admit to using digital dice with increasing frequency. I started as a means of noise reduction and kinda got used to them.

When I was using the standard size dice, I used something very similar to these.

partly because I keep losing the smaller dice, I usually only use regular-sized dice
