(Part 3) Top products from r/dice

If you do go the DIY route, don't be me and use acetone to get permanent marker off. I ended up dulling the glossy finish on some of my dice that way. I haven't tried the acrylic paint method yet, but there's some videos on Youtube showing how to do it.

I'm thinking Lustrous blue or Festive green could be good candidates.

Also, it wasn't bad for a Monday! Hope today went well for you too.

It's only an issue with the Borealis. If you haven't bought them, you wouldn't have experienced it. Chessex or not, this is a problem with this specific line. And doing some research, this is a known issue that's been brought up on this sub before and can be found in the reviews for these type of dice.

One of the reviewers even mentions contacting Chessex:


> EDIT: I contacted Chessex and they responded quickly; apparently the scuffs are mold marks (they provided pictures to show that all of the borealis and translucent dice have them). Oh well. Added two stars because of good customer service, not full because of the marks though.

Yes they came in the usual packaging. Yes, they're Chessex dice. Sparkly dice have enough draw that anybody making "counterfeit" could probably just brand their own and sell them without the need to fake the Chessex label. I suspect that places like Amazon (or its sellers) are just buying off the B Grade dice for cheap to sell. And yes, Chessex has B grade dice, every manufacturer does. Where do you think their Pound of Dice comes from?

Looks like Chessex festive carousel. That's a really pretty one! You mean a polyhedral set, right? https://www.amazon.com/Chessex-Dice-Polyhedral-Festive-Carousel/dp/B00415PKFA Or more d6? either way, still in print and shouldn't be hard to get.

Translucent casino dice are almost always marked with the name of a casino. These are distributed after they have been retired from an actual gaming facility and are marked to show authenticity at the table. So finding them without a mark will require purchasing brand new ones. Casino dice are typically translucent, can be found in any color and come in the standard size you're looking for. I would like to point out that anything like this is not the same as what is posted above. Casino dice have sharp edges and corners and have larger pips. That's why it may take some searching to find unmarked, casino grade, gaming dice as they're typically produced in serialized batches for casinos.

Edit: Here's some that will probably fit exactly what you're looking for: They come in four colors

On a side note; what is that show about? Just real briefly.

Pretty sure it’s this or you can just mix less of the silicon in and make sure there’s more catalyst

You could try this if your handwriting is pretty good.

You can get the top right one on Amazon except the numbers are blue instead of gold. I have this set myself and it's one of my favorites.

Do you mean the Chessex Gemini Purple-Red with gold numbers? You can still get the set. It may be available at a local shop and here it is on Amazon



I hope that's what you're looking for since it's a set that's still available on the market.



ETA: It ocurred to me you may have meant the purple set with red numbers, which is also available on Amazon.

Use a high-grit sandpaper and follow it up with a plastic polish like Novus 2.

I did that with mine and you can barely tell.

Looks like the Chessex font.

I think your dice are white so they might be these, but if they're off-white/ivory they might be these.

I found a few jar of dice on amazon

Agreed. I dont care for the look of rounded D6. I think this is closest to the set I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JKVK39S?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

They're currently unavailable but maybe there are other sellers of the same brand.

Look up John Patrick’s books on Craps. I read it about 20 years ago and its methods are still what I follow.

The dragon looks like it's from MacGregor.

edit: and the chaos are Chessex Arrows of Chaos
