The One Ring 2E RPG: Black Dice Set

These dice arrived and are of pretty good quality. The coloring and patterns are beautiful. Bonus: the set I received had the correct faces for the d12 Feat Die, having 1-10, the Eye of Sauron on the 11 as it should be, and the Gandalf rune on the 12.

I received old stock on these dice--that is, the original run in which the two d12 were misprinted. That was disapointing; however, FreeLeague will send two replacements for free, and the MiniatureMarket price was noticeably less that the typical price for these dice elsewhere, so I saved some money to gain some minor inconvenience, making it all good in the end. Though it would have been nice to know these were misprints to begin with.

As great and nice looking these dice are, I thought that maybe the misprint I have heard about on the feat dice (the d12) would have been fixed after nearly a year, and the correct dice would be in print, but unfortunately this was not the case. Basically the 1 is printed to be an 11 where the dice aren't even supposed to have an 11 on them. If you are buying these beware because every single set I have purchased have been misprinted. I would recommend waiting.

As advertised and what you'd expect. I like that the packaging is reusable. No cutting required to open the package; the plastic pops open and closed like a hinged fruit container, such that you can put the dice back in for secure storage. I use these for The One Ring: 1st edition - they are the same dice as for the 2nd edition.

This is a great addition to the white set that came with the boxed set. While it's possible to use regular dice, it sure does cut down on the confusion for new players and they look great.
