I prefer the new white dice. It takes less space and prevents grabbing the wrong dice. I am more than able to tell skulls from shields from blanks.

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection!

We use the new dice. I agree that the old dice look better, but for actually playing, the new dice take up less space and are easier to use (in that you don't have to constantly switch between attack and defence dice).

I'm a new dice guy. They are the dice I first played with and I would probably use them even if I started with the red and blues.

I have had a couple people try to sway me, ( looking in your direction NWo,), but 'old school, R&B is the way to go.

I've said it before I don't like the white combo dice. When I'm on Defense I want to see shields and then blanks, but it irriatates to see skulls come up ( seams like a waste ). I could have used them last turn. It seam like if I need Skulls I get shields and if I need Shields I get Skulls, I would feel less bad if just blanks would come up.

The poll is very lop-sided, I remember on HQ the same poll and it was almost 50-50 and I think the new dice had the edge.

Yeah it's pretty lopsided. So who wants to trade me some of their unwanted white dice for some of my unwanted R/B dice?

I could always use spare dice ( in the fears I'll wear the marks off my Red & Blue ). I didn't check to see if you are going to Gen-Con but if you are we could trade there.

i use the R&B dice as well, i just like the quick glance obvious blank or no blank

i do hear some concern with dice symbols wearing off.....primary causes of that would be holding the dice when not useing them, dumping liquids on them or dropping them into liquids...generally speaking if you leave them on the table except when actully rolling and keep them dry, they should last ya years and years, and if they fade off in 10 years, bust out another set you had in a bag somewhere *grins*.....been playing dice games for 16 years or so...and in some cases still useing the original dice
