Game Day: Gating to Random Destinations

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Fri, 02/15/2008 - 12:51pm

 The Complete Series This week's Game Day sees us returning to the Dark City campaign to wrap-up our quest to save a bunch of kidnapped kids from some dungeon-dwelling kobolds. It's a fun adventure, but I find myself straining to connect it to a Game Day column. So instead I'm going to stick with the semi-random rambling approuch that I took last time around.

I just discovered GamerBling earlier this week; digging through the site turned up a review of Q-Workshop dice. In short, they like the dice, but have issues with clarity and inking. Now that I own two sets (Elvish and Cthulhu), I'll agree with the clarity issue. While these are beautiful dice, some sets -- like the Elvish runes -- can be hard to read once you start throwing them around the table. I prefer my yellow-lettering-on-black-background Cthulhu dice, which are far easier on the eyes.
