Back when I started gaming, in the late 90s, the dice that came in the oD&D boxed set and the official AD&D dice sold for 2e were very similar. They both included solid-opaque, Chessex-brand dice in the following colors:<br /><br />d20 in orange<br />d12 in yellow<br />d10 in white <br />d10 in black (oD&D) or d% in white (2e dice)<br />d8 in blue<br />d6 in red<br />d4 in green<br /><br />So, to this day, I tend to prefer solid-opaque Chessex dice (with Koplow NiceDice coming in at a close second) that have roughly the same color scheme.John Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522143715905888511noreply@blogger.com
