My girlfriend bought these for me because she knows I like to collect them even though we almost only play via VTT nowadays, for obvious reasons (I don't live in the US). They look amazing, I love the supernova/magical design, it conveys a unique feel of powerful and cryptic alien technology, which is the main focus of the Adventure Path. The crit hit (and maximum number of each die) is a cool stellar explosion. The colour combination is also extremely appealing to me as I like contrasted combinations and I want the results of my rolls to really pop out, not hard to read from across the table.
They seem to be sturdy and they are lightweight. Unfortunately I can't review how well they will withstand the test of time because I don't think I will make an intense use of them, however I can say that Q-Workshop products are good quality, in my experience.
Obviously, I’m a sucker for branded products. How many times in my life am I going to play the Dead Suns adventure path? Once. Well, I might as well have the Dead Suns Dice Set then! This set comes with a standard set of 7 dice (d4, d6, d8, two d10s, a d12, and a d20) with a bluish-purplish background (don’t trust me on color!) The borders around each number are quite busy with little markings that I don’t really know how to describe (allegedly they’re “suggestive of vast galaxies and nebulae”), but frankly they don’t have a particularly “space adventure” vibe to me and seem closer to ancient Aztec or something. The highest number on each dice is a black hole (maybe a nova?). Frankly, the design looks a bit amateurish to me compared to other AP dice sets. On the other hand, everything is clearly legible and functional. I wouldn’t buy them as dice for dice sake, but if you’re a collector like me or just need a new set, they’re fine.
As a side note, I love how the back proclaims they are “100%-official Starfinder Dead Suns Adventure Path dice.” What would 75% official dice look like?
These look great, except I wish there wasn't the symbol in place of the highest number on each die. I want to see that 20!!
But all the AP dice have been this way so it's a tradition at this point. Who am I kidding, they're so rad I'll buy them anyway.
It's actually more of a Q-Workshop thing - they like doing a symbol or graphic of some kind on their D20s, regardless of who they are making the dice for
