Pathfinder Dice: "Curse of the Crimson Throne" [RPG]


I've run about fifteen sessions now of Curse of the Crimson Throne using these dice, so I feel reasonably competent to give an opinion.  My verdict is that they're okay.  The borders of each die have little scrollwork designs that I guess are supposed to evoke aristocracy, and the highest number on each die has an ornate crown (which fits the theme of the AP well).  Yellow numbers on a red background aren't the easiest to see on the table, and the numbers are in a design that means I often have to pick them up and look closely to see what the result is (the "1" and the "7", for example, are pretty close).  In short, they're not as good as some of the dice I've seen produced by Q-workshop for other APs.


They do come in nice little packaging.  The back says: "Break the Curse of the Crimson Throne!  Paizo Publishing and Q-workshop are proud  to bring you the 100%-official Pathfinder: Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path dice.  Each of these richly detailed dice features the colors and accursed crown of Korvosa, the rebellion-ravaged setting of your next adventure.  Fight the power and seize a throne of your very own!"
