They've treated my well so far. They aren't too hard to read in this case, but it really depends on the exact pattern you get. sadly my local gaming store carries only a few of their patterns ,compared to like, 20+ that are on their website. I'm definitely buying more. Q-workshop was commissioned to do pathfinder themed dice, when it launched, as GM I bought a set to start of my new campaign the right way. They’ve treated my well so far.

They're very cool and they still get a reaction from my DnD group, even though we've been gaming together for months. Yes they're a little hard to read, but I've gotten used to it and never have much trouble. As for wear and tear, I'm not usually delicate with my dice. Mainly because they're dice and not something fragile. I have had no trouble with my dragon dice. The dragons still look like dragons and I never have any difficulty reading the numbers. No smudging at all. They also sell some dice individually. So even if you don't want a whole set, you can still get one or two to really add something special to your collection. That being said, there's nothing quite like owning a whole set of these dice. Like Bearded Goose, I have a set of dragon dice from Q-Workshop.

I have the dragon, dwarven, elven, cthulhu, pathfinder and even bone dice. Yes, they seem daunting to read, at first, until one realizes that they typically have a small device that you realize is always on the top. For example, on my dragon dice, the dragon itself will always be above the number. It's always fun to pull out a set of dice to match the feeling or theme or style of your character. For example, dragon dice come out often for my D&D 4e game. Bone dice? Well, any healer. You get the picture. So, I agree, that you'll not be disappointed with a set of these in your collection. .-= The Bearded Goose´s last blog ..<a href="http://thebeardedgoose.com/?p=284" rel="nofollow">Holy Crap!

I'll post a good picture of these dice as soon as I can so you can see what I mean.

The intricate swirls and decorations, while very nice looking, make it really hard to read the actual numbers. I want to just be able to glance at a die and see what the roll is, rather than try to decipher my way past ornate mystic runes. I always admire these dice but at the same time, would never buy any.
