Reddit reviews Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPG: Dice

There are a few 3rd party sellers on amazon with them [1], but you'll pay about $20 shipped per set. My FLGS has some in stock (or did the last time I looked about 2 weeks ago) so I could get them and ship them to you and you can paypal me the money, but it would probably cost the same at just ordering from those amazon sellers.

Edit: Nevermind, I apparently can't read, none of those are actually in stock. If you want me to check my FLGS tonight, I can. I think they are $15 a set and I could stick them in a USPS flat-rate $5 box, possibly without their original packaging, if you're willing to paypal me (or some other form of getting cash to me) the money.

I bought two sets of dice and it's all we use. Thinking about getting one more set since they're getting more powerful.

No matter which Star Wars game you're playing, the answer is Amazon.


If you're playing the West End Games version, check here.

If you're playing either of the versions produced by Wizards of the Coast, check here.

If you're playing one of the Fantasy Flight versions, check here.

Technically you could play the whole game with a single d12 and d8 and a lot of tables.

I don't know why I would want either.

Then again, that is besides the point. For the same price I get one pack of FFG SW dice (that has to be shared at the table and, again, does not contain enough dice to make tests in one roll), I could get enough dice sets for myself and every player at my table, which can be used for most other rpgs and also look considerably nicer than the FFG dice and would still have money left over.

Looks like they are sold out now

They were from the third party seller bookdepository.ca here's the link to their webpage

More dice are always appreciated, I second this idea. I'm pretty sure FFG are the only makers of these specific dice because they have custom symbols just for the narrative dice system. You can of course use any regular set of dice that has d6, d8, d12 but it is kind of annoying remembering which symbols match which numbers.

I hear this all the time, honestly, rolling those dice is so much better than counting successes on a d6, or aiming for a target number on a d20. It's worth the: what, $12? http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Edge-Empire-Dice/dp/1616616598

Buy some dice.

Buy some books.

Honestly, it depends what kind of game you want to play. I think here you're going to get a lot of weird niche games suggested but for starters you're better off sticking with the a more 'traditional' experience. D&D is an excellent starting point if you want to play a fantasy game, you can even pick up one of their adventures if you don't want to write your own material.

If you're unsure about spending that much just to get started you can pick up this starter set that will include the basic rules, a set of dice, some pregenerated characters, and a short adventure. From there, if you like the game, you can pick up the full rulebooks and some more dice and whatever else you like. Alternatively you can try out the free basic rules by downloading them from the Wizards of the Coast website. All you'll need is a set of dice to get started.

If you don't like or don't want to play D&D you can check out a bunch of other systems that will let you play other games or settings. [Edge of the Empire] (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Edge-Empire-Rulebook/dp/1616616571/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=edge+of+the+empire&qid=1563883870&s=gateway&sr=8-1) is a really cool Star Wars game, but it requires custom dice. My personal favourite sci-fi rpg is Traveller though, and it has the advantage of only requiring six sided dice.

A lot of people really like Savage Worlds, it's fun, it's cheap, and it's generic enough that you can run almost any setting you like with it. Unfortunately there's a new edition due out really soon so take that in to consideration. If you want a more in depth generic system then I can recommend GURPS, although you'll also need the Campaigns book. This system is absolutely not beginner friendly, it slaps you in the face with tables and rules for all sorts of scenarios, but I adore it and it's not really all that hard to figure out.

If you want an alternative to D&D Green Ronin has the "Age" series of games, starting with Fantasy Age, continuing with Modern Age, and the recently released The Expanse RPG covers Sci-Fi. I will admit that I've not actually had a chance to play any of these games, but I've read the rules and like the system.

Honestly you can find a game to cover practically any genre you want, whether it's Grimdark Fantasy, Martial Arts, Space Exploration, Lovecraftian Horror, Anime Cyberpunk Space Opera, or almost any other thing you can think of.

Don't fall in to the trap of playing a game because someone suggests it's 'easy', play something that really grabs your interest and inspires your imagination.

I need some Dice for a star wars rpg game.

It has its own proprietary dice that you need to buy. Its sorta a pain but its worth it imo. They work really well. https://smile.amazon.com/Fantasy-Flight-Games-SWE04-Star/dp/1616616598/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465588249&sr=8-1&keywords=edge+of+the+empire+dice

5 packages still there, I would hurry up and order :D

These are the best dice. Accept no substitutes.
