Well, that's not a good thing. Why bother to sell +/- dice if they're not really FUDGE compatible? ??? It's like some moron said "they're pretty and we don't know what they're used for, but how 'bout if we make them like this instead. Even more pretty..." :P

Just recieved four of the Q-Workshop Runic Fudge dice, and they have 2 - sides, 2 + sides and 2 blank sides (ie they are normal fudge dice)
Whilst it may be true that some Runic dice are wrong, there appears to be absolutely nothing wrong with these (apart from the rather high price, but I decided they were worth it - I'm just not going to take them to cons etc. where I might loose them)

I wish I could add more to this other then just my opinion. I really want to see how this turns out. Never heard of the Fudge system before. Problem is the RPG vers around her has become thin at best and the guys I group with are die-hard Exalted (White Wolf) gamers. Only time they bounce to anything outside of a 10d system is if someone decides to run a Rifts game.

How 'bout this: go to this place and download a copy of FATE for free. FATE isn't FUDGE but it was based on FUDGE and is a step closer to the Dresden Files game.
Do it. How can you beat a free download?
What you'll find is that FUDGE dice are simply marked with "+" or "-" or " " so that if you roll 4 of them (4dF) you'll get a bell-type distrobution from -4 to +4 with most of the numbers centered near the center.
FUDGE and FATE and SOTC and other games that use FUDGE dice are based on the notion that if you can set a difficulty level (given as a number or a word to describe the difficulty) and compare it to a character's ability then you can see how high you need to roll in order to have a success. Ability plus 4dF has to equal or beat the difficulty level. That's pretty much it. The rest is setting and background details.
