Fudge Dice
« on: July 05, 2010, 05:44:50 PM »
Having a hard time finding these online. Im specifically looking for the GM's Fudge Dice pack and everywhere it seems "out of stock" or sold out.
Any idea where to pick this up?

Any idea if Evil hat plans on releasing Dresden unique Fudge dice?

There used to be several retailers with the GMs pack online, they all seem out at the moment.  Guess all those Dresden
RPGs hitting the shelves overwhelmed the market for the dice.

You could always use a sharpie to alter standard d6s.

My local game shop sells blank d6s for $0.19.

Either should hold you over until more Fudge Dice get stocked.

Paizo has the GM pack in stock as of last week.
If you have to ask, it probably breaks a Law of Magic.  You're just trying to get the Doom of Damocles.

My gaming store doesn't carry blanks.  However, on a trip to a store geared towards teachers (and religious types - I guess we in the south think that those things go hand in hand) and found a plethora of blank dice.  They sell them to math teachers for number games.

I don't know if they were quite 18c cheap, but they were pretty affordable.  They also came in the highly auspicious quantity of four blank d6s per pack!

They're currently listed as being on backorder.

The Deryni dice pack is available right now. They're a set of four black Fudge dice and a set of four white ones, selling for 8.10 USD (discounted from 9.00).

Other than that, a quick search found very little of assistance.

Those of you without Fudge dice can always try die rollers. There are Fudge specific ones out there. Anything that can support 4d3-8 can output dF results; I use rolldice when I don't have my dFs on me.

I did find the Deryni dice but I'd rather get the GM pack (4 different colors so each of my players can use their own color).
I guess I'll wait till its back in stock. I imagine it will at some point soon.
I'll just use my regular d6 for now. Thanks guys!

Somehow i don't really see the problem...

http://www.fudgerpg.com/retailers.html

some of these retailers are out of stock, but several carry the player's packs with 4 dice each, and one or two even have the GM pack still in stock.

Also, you could point your FLGS at GreyGhost and ask them to order some for you.

And if everything fails... GreyGhost even offers the possibility of direct orders.

I know they sold all they had at Origins and Fred said he was taking the 200-some he had left to DresdaCon. Just a matter of when Grey Ghost can restock now.

I just poked around those sites, and I found one of them had exactly one GM's pack in stock.

Grey Ghost's site doesn't say whether they have the GM packs in stock or not. They mostly seem to want to shunt you to Warehouse23, which is out of stock.

The player's packs cost 5 bucks for 4 dice (plus/minus, depending on where you order). That'd be 25 bucks for 20, instead of the 15 for the GM pack, which is a pretty substantial difference in price.

The GM packs really are the way to go for a group playing a FATE game. It's just way more convenient to pick the things up in this format.

Glad you got a set!

I ordered an extra set for my players a couple of weeks ago.

I can see all four being different or 4 sets ...
  • Sword for plus, Coin for negative
  • Pentacle & Bob-skull works too (again, player calls or table standard)
  • Snowflake & Leaf for +/- (table rules or player calls in advance which is plus ...)
  • ??? ... ???

For the last, probably a gun and a staff (or gun and spell, whatever).   ;D
