Official Shadowrun Dice?

« on: <08-30-11/1117:06> »
I found this image of a black dice with the Shadowrun "S" symbol in blue on it, and it got me wondering. Was this made by a fan? Is it official merchandise, or a long discontinued thing?

I've seen photos of colored in "5s & 6s" on players dice to speed up tests, but I don't think thats really for me.

We tend to make dice to sell at the summer cons--this year we had dark blue MCT dice and golden NeoNET dice. Pegasus Spiele also has custom dice, with the SR logo as the 5 and 6 (along with the numbers so you know which is which) and a blank side for ones. You can check them out here.

On the site it says, "10 d12's". Is it supposed to say d6's?

The tin I bought came with 12 d6's. It might be easier to buy from CCG Armory or Amazon (Armory's got them on sale right now).

BTW, those golden NeoNET dice are pretty damn cool. So cool I got a set for myself at GenCon.

They still betray me at every chance they get like my regular dice do.

Or maybe its just cause FastJack is running the game.... ::)

I know I'm dredging up an old topic here, but my question is still relevant.  Does anyone know any sites that still sell these dice?  I would love to have a set of Shadowrun dice for my game.

Also, does CGL sell dice at other cons?  I'm usually unable to make it out to GenCon.

I like the idea of having the special sets for the cons, but I think a lot of people would love to have a set of Shadowrun dice.  Maybe CGL could consider designing some for a full production run in America?

Unfortunately, the dice were not produced by CGL.

I've said it more than once to my gaming group that I wished I had a set of SR dice.  The only ones I've ever come across only had the SR symbol for the one, it didn't really speed up the counting process.

Hoping I can pick up a lot of stuff at the CGL booth at GenCon.  ;D

The Doc Wagon T-Shirts shown at Origins look SWEET!

For everyone at CGL, I'd love if you guys got together some official Shadowrun Hit dice (4mm, please, so I can roll without a bucket!). I'd buy a set in a heartbeat.

Or, in short, "Do Want!"

I have taken some black d6's with white dots.
The 2, 3 and 4 I have painted black.
The 1 I have painted red.
Fast and easy homemade SR dices.
Still it would be cool with some professional dices for that :-)

One day  I would love to go to an American Con.  Its never going to happen... but I can dream.  Dream of playing a real Catalyst sponsored mission, dream of buying directly from the publisher and maybe meeting in the flesh people who actually put my favourite game together, if only to shake their hand and say 'well done good sir, well done!', dream of having a Doc Wagon shirts or something like that...

With all the posts on Origin etc... I'm green with envy my american/canadan friends.

Yes, that would be so sweet.
Also try to play with people in a different country and see how they do it.

If you ever do come to an American con, try to go to Dragon*Con. Unlike SDCC, D*C is done by fans, for fans. A WHOLE lot of fun, every single year.
