Wierd Dice

[Gambit]

In a pic of a dice tower I saw some werid dice, they had both skulls and shields on them. are these custom made some how or are they part of hreoscape v2 or another game or somthing like that?

[feekonea]

they are V. 2 dice.

[Gambit]

oh thanks. does v2 come in a different looking box?

[Malechi]

It is missing the "Thorgrim" window.

[bunjee]

It is most likely what you will find in stores now.

Of the master set there are 3 versions

Original with sparkly water (and window showing Thorgrim figure and multiple rule books)

v1.5 with solid water (and window showing Thorgrim figure and multiple rule books) - no easy way to tell the difference, production numbers give some hints

v2 with solid water, revised combined rule/scenario book, new dice. Easy to identify as the window showing the Thorgrim figure was replaced by a photo of the Thorgrim figure.

The external box was changed to save cost (windows cost a fair amount to add) Fortunately it provides us with an easy way to identify the revised master set.

[Gambit]

thank you but i think it may not be in my target yet, they dont start selling most of the heroscape stuff untill a year after it comes out everywhere else :evil: :johnwoo: :banana:

[TheRealQ]

You can also find the dice with skulls and shields in the old HeroQuest game.

[Gambit]

they dont even have heroquest :banana: :chainsaw:

[TheRealQ]

I have Heroquest. Two sets even. There are a lot of them for sell on eBay.

[Gambit]

Im too lazy to get it off ebay!

JK, but thats too much of a hassle for me. Ill just find some other way....

Hi Remy LeBeau,

You can come down to San Jose, there's plenty of Targets and Walmarts and Toys R Uses down here that have the figures when they come out. If you're willing to do an afternoon of driving around there's even some Toysruses in different adjacent cities that no one knows about (well few people know about, obviously since we go to them) that carry the HS waves at or around the scheduled release dates.

Last time I checked livermore and SJ are separated by the 84 and 45 minutes tops... besides the CCC welcome you to clack with us.... and sign up for reapersauruses' NorCal Gaming Day

[Gambit]

Thank you. I'll look in to that if i ever get the time

You really need to check those production numbers, you may actually have "sparklies" still on the shelf!

they dont even have heroquest

I am going to assume that was a joke ... or else you may be waiting for quite some time as HeroQuest went out of print 15 years ago! :cry:

no i just want another reason to be mad at them :johnwoo2: :banana:

[K/H_Addict]

i, personally dont see whats so great about the combined dice, anyways. IMHO, they suck. they tend to roll more shields than skulls.




Oh, and BTW: you spelled "weird" wrong. I know, right? English teacher been lying all these years....(netherspirit, you stay out of it!)

I wasnt spelling "weird" i was spelling "your dog." Go practice your pig latin! :lol:

[gibberish_47]

:lol: "Werid." Good catch, K/H_A. Don't feel bad, Gambit, I needed some humor tonight.

[Gambit]

MAKE YOU NO SENSE TO GAMBIT!!!!!! GAMBIT NO UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[K/H_Addict]

MAKE YOU NO SENSE TO GAMBIT!!!!!! GAMBIT NO UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I agree. werid? WTF?

[gibberish_47]

I've used both dice. Personally, I have a slight inclination towards the red and blue dice. In my opinion, the seperate dice work better in dice towers then the mixed, because we just leave the attack dice in.

However, one of my friends has the mixed dice, and they work well, too.

[K/H_Addict]

w/e gibberish ( :lol: ). where did "werid" happen?

[Gambit]

so baisicaly mixed dice are just both of the dice mixed together?

[K/H_Addict]

yep. the lame white ones are the blue ones combined with the red ones. There is still 3 skulls and 2 shields, and 1 blank side. most members here prefer the first edition dice, and some even have ungraved ones so the images dont fade from extensive use...

[Gambit]

oh, ok then i wont waste another 40 bucks on a new set just to get some cheapscate dice

[K/H_Addict]

if you want the new dice, go to ebay. or something. spending 40 bucks on another MS is a decent investment, becuae you get all that extra terrain to build with

[gibberish_47]

A tip from somebody (I think Teamski?) for prolonging the life of your dice is clear nail polish, or something like that.

ture i may get xtra terrain, i dont want or need a 3rd copy of every unique figure it comes with

You can always repaint or chop-up the extra figures to make customs. Or you can simply sell or trade them...someone wants them.

im not coordinated enough chop them up and im to lazy to paint them, sell them, or trade them.

[gibberish_47]

Even if the figures sit in the box, I think an extra MS is worth it. Think about the terrain, think about the terrain......

[Gambit]

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! YOU TEMPT GAMBIT!!!!!!!!! GAMBIT ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, just a note:
The 1st edition boxes have 1st edition dice on the picture next to Migol's Tomb.

the 2nd edition boxes have 2nd edition dice in the picture.

[Gambit]

i hope im not offending u but i dont really care, i already have plenty of info if i changed my mind and decided to get it. but thank you for trying to help, or were you just adding your opinion? whatever, im wasting time typing this.

[K Wang]

The Flagbearer dice are my favorite.

Another thread resurrection? Why? This thread seems to be a 9 month old newbie thread... :lol:

[jcb231]

thank you but i think it may not be in my target yet, they dont start selling most of the heroscape stuff untill a year after it comes out everywhere else :evil: :johnwoo: :banana:

If your Target still has sparklies on the shelf, you should buy all of them and make yourself a tidy profit.

[jcb231]

A tip from somebody (I think Teamski?) for prolonging the life of your dice is clear nail polish, or something like that.

Didn't someone point out that this eventually ate away at the dice and shouldn't be done? Anyone recall that? I had planned to put clear nail polish on my dice and I stopped because I was worried about it eating away the paint.

Anyone know anything about this?
