03-29-07, 11:42 AM I need a set of white (not ivory) dice with red numbers to complete the color scheme I'm going for, but for some reason I can't find white-with-red polyhedral sets. Anywhere. The closest I can get would be a custom set from Chessex (expensive!).

What's up with this? Do you get sued by the Red Cross if you make white dice with red numbers? Does anybody know where I could find some, maybe on some shady black market or something? :confused:

03-29-07, 11:50 AM Chessex, Koplow & Gamescience are probably the most well-known. I'd expect you should be able to get a set for $5.00 from either in the color your looking for (I have a 10 year-old set in the colors your talking about). E-bay might also land you what your looking for.

You might also be able to just find some white dice and ink/reink them red yourself (it's not hard).

No white-with-red dice from any of those three, excluding the Chessex "$1.00 per side" version (which is $70 for a polyhedral set).

EBay doesn't have them either.

They can make 'em for you, and their charge varies depending of the complexity & time it takes to create your dice...

IF you're lucky, you might find some 'red on white' dice already on there - I only had a quick look.

03-29-07, 01:20 PM Would taking generic plastic numbered dice and painting them white work? Then take a red ink pen and color in the numbers.

Would probably work best with a high gloss enamel spray paint and a fountain pen or rapidograph. And to finish use a clear spray overcoat to seal it up.

try searching "poly dice white red". I found one set for sale, though I'm not to sure about the white color.

I got five red-with-white and two gemini-with-red.

I'm trying q-workshop now, thanks. (They don't have any red-on-white on hand.)

03-29-07, 04:30 PM I am fiarly certain I have a set like this. Perhaps more than one, in fact. If my currently missing :weep: dice-bucket ever shows up again I will happily send them to you.

Interesting.

In all the years I have gamed, the very concept of color scheming my dice has never once entered my head.

....but good luck in your search. :)
