Pennfarms wrote:Thanks for all the responses!From what I can tell, the dice in the top pic are all somewhat marbled, probably due to poor quality rather than artistic choice. they seem brittle, and the edges are rounding nicely. The dice in the bottom pic are quite soft, and feel more plyable than the others. I really like this set for some reason. I checked the Chainmail book, and the size is only slightly bigger than the booklets in the box set, so it would fit in there even if the box was in mint.Im not familliar with the c c white & holmes set. these are d&d sets?
