Review: New Dice from Q-Workshop!

August 2, 2010 by Bartoneus

At this point, if you haven’t heard of Q-Workshop, then you’re missing out on some of the best dice that are being produced today!

We have two sets of dice to give away, courtesy of GM Dice. Our last contest had us choosing our contest winners, but as any GM can tell you, sometimes it’s just more fun to let the dice decide. To that end, we are making this contest entirely decided by the dice themselves.
