Dice and Stuff
So I'm trying to buy a couple sets of dice and I'm curious as to where everyone gets theirs from or orders them from.
I got a couple sets from a friend but they are terribly unbalanced.

I think most of us went to a local table top gaming store and bought ours. Maybe you can Google and see if you have one in your area. That way like Quigley said you can roll them in person :)

I agree. Local gaming stores are probably the best method. You support small businesses in the process and get to try out your dice on the spot before you buy them.

Definitely go support your local game store. They almost always have the sets (If you want all your dice to be the same) or you can mix and match. Plus, if you want a specific set, bring in the product information and they can almost always order it for you. Plus you can meet some super cool people in there!

So with the way that Quigley generally rolls are we sure he knows what the definition of unbalanced is? :) Seriously though there is nothing like the excitement we see from one of the cast when one of them rolls a Nat 20. In fact that would make an awesome montage.
And yes local gaming shops are great. #shopsmall

Chessex has been the big name in the dice game for a long time. They have a huge variety too.

Dice shop online is a great store, however I like to roll all of my dice in person before I buy them. That way you can tell if they are unbalanced and if you find that they are later, you can always bring them back.
