8558th poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 9)

Honestly debating just buying this.
Relatively cheap, comes soon, and in a color that I really like.

I didnā€™t have dice; I just used Avrae.
Which went under during my session yesterday, so I had to steal dice from one of my players.

This was a pain. I couldnā€™t help but bifurcate at the final section.

If you buy dice from anywhere thatā€™s not a hobby shop or a brand you recognize, expect cheap garbage that will likely be not worth whatever you paid for it. Theyā€™ll work just fine if youā€™re trying to start playing D&D for the first time, but it sounds like you want something a bit nicer than babyā€™s first dice set. (Full disclosure, I use cheap resin dice probably similar in quality to the stuff that can be found on Amazon. It works just fine for how little I get to use them in person since my TTRPG games have all been digital since forever. If I was going to play an in-person game, Iā€™d invest in a nicer set.)

I would never buy metal dice from anything but a bespoke seller with a good reputation and transparent supply chain/process. You are absolutely asking for trash. I would avoid a set from Amazon or any other big box general goods retailer. (If I was buying from any of those, I would just get plain resin ones or whatever.) Also if you get metal dice, regardless of quality, do not put anything downrange you are not willing to destroy. Use a dice tray, and donā€™t have your phone next to it etc.

I donā€™t have a recommendation of a seller for you. What I would do is check subreddits for D&D, Pathfinder, and other TTRPGs for testimonials and sites in their wikis or in pinned threads.

Etsy used to be a good site for this stuff, but itā€™s inundated with drop sellers now too so you can look there, but you have to be discerning and look for a shop with items you canā€™t find on AliExpress and that does something like name a workshop or craftspersons, or describes a process used to make the product. You can do it, but itā€™s usually easier to go elsewhere these days unfortunately.

I want to be able to say Iā€™ve watched every episode of pokemon up until Black & White and I-Have but I also donā€™t have on record and am not 100% confident so im going to rewatch every episode up to black & white
possibly also XY

Also yes I did quite literally spend an entire summer in my bed one time when I was like 10 years old still in primary school waking up, binge watching pokemon and then going back to bed. I treated it literally as a mission. And I succeeded

I think Iā€™ve seen:

  • The first ten or so episodes of the original series
  • Two episodes of Orange Islands
  • About 70% of Ruby and Sapphire
  • About 80% of Diamond and Pearl
  • All of Black and White
  • All of X&Y
  • The first two seasons of Sun and Moon
