ModiphiusFallout: The Roleplaying Game Dice Set,Various

Branded for playing Fallout 2d20 the ttrpg. I’ve never been so excited to roll a nat 1.I wasn’t planning on buying the branded dice for our home game, but it’s all about those Combat Dice for me. Makes gameplay run a lot smoother when we aren’t referencing roll charts for damage every time one of the party members attacks.These arrived a day later than I had anticipated, but the package arrived undamaged. Over all, a near perfect score from me.

You almost need these if you want to play Modiphius' Fallout TTRPG (and you do want to play it, because it's awesome!)It has all the specialty dice you need: a location die to tell where someone got hit, two nice d20s (it is the 2d20 system after all), and four d6 damage dice with the special symbols already on the dice so there's nothing to look up. The Vault-Boy color combination and font are fun. The 1s on the d20s being little Vault-Tec logos is cute. The dice have a nice weight and are beefy and are made from regular dice plastic not like some resin dice you see nowadays that feel like they're going to shatter if you drop them.The only problem is you probably want to buy at least two packs of dice per player for the game. You won't need multiple hit location dice, but all the rest you'll want way more of. Things in the game easily can do more than 4 dice of damage and if you're playing the game right you should be banking additional d20s to roll beyond the two you start with, and it's always a pain having to reroll dice and remember what the dice had on them when you pick them up. Two is probably fine. That's what I got. But you might want three sets of dice to be sure you have enough. And that's per player. At 20ish dollars a box that could get pricey.But I love them. I'm very happy to have picked them up.

The dice have a nice balance to them. You get enough dice to also not have a need to borrow from fellow players.

These unique dice, or a similar set, are required for playing the Fallout 2d20 RPG. I would recommend that, rather than getting a set for each player, the game master get two sets for the group to share.

As some reviewers have noted, there are some imperfections on these dice. For example, the 19 on one of the dice is not completely cut out, and there are some scuff marks on the d6s. Nothing too extreme, but for the price, you'd expect better quality.The dice are easy to read, roll well, and will likely make Fallout RPG much smoother to play (I have not run a session with them as yet).The set contains 7 custom dice - 2d20, a Hit Location Die, and 4d6. While you do not need this set to play, it is very helpful because otherwise you will need to consult charts when you roll dice. However, you might need 2-3 sets of these for a game, because you may be rolling up to 5d20 and a whole lot of d6s. 4d6 isn't enough for some basic weapons. At $20 a set, that gets very pricey for dice of this quality.About the individual dice:The d20: There are two d20s in the set. They are rather large (not as big as the giant dice, but significantly bigger than the typical d20), and are blue with yellow text (like the rest of the set). They are easily readable, and feel decent. The "1" is replaced with a symbol signifying a critical roll, otherwise it is effectively identical to any other d20 - you can easily use any 20-sided die in place of this one. Because of the large size, rolling more than 3 at a time will probably be awkward - and considering that you will be rolling the Hit Location die as well, may be an issue at some point.The Hit Location Die: This is another d20, the same size as the other two - however, instead of numbers, it contains hit locations. This corresponds to a chart in the Core Rulebook, where you roll a d20 and look up the result. This die removes the need for the chart - except that it does not apply to Mr Handy characters. In such case, you still need to use the chart (Mr Handy never gets much love in Fallout RPG products).The d6: This is the most important part of the set. Combat Dice (CD) are unique in this game, and have four faces: 1, 2, Effect, and None. Using a typical d6 means comparing a chart. The way these are made, there are no visual numbers or text - just symbols to count. This means no mental math, no converting numbers, just counting. I expect this will streamline playing somewhat (though after a few time rolling a normal d6, it's not too difficult). These are only slightly larger than a typical d6, and are somewhat more round.Overall, I'm glad to finally have these, but I wish they had better quality control. Also would have been nice to include a dice bag or something of that sort as many sets do.

The dice are sturdy and a great size. My gaming group has abused these dice over 20 hours of gaming. They are still in great shape and the paint has not chipped off at all. No signs of wear. You will want a second set though as you level up. You need more of the six sided dice first, then the Twenties. I highly recommend two sets for yourself!

Perfect for the Fallout rpg and other rpgs as well
