huggies01 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 So I want to get a clear idea, since it seems that this new idea has caused quite the stir. If you can vote and not concern yourself with any cost or logistics that would go into the creation of these dice, I want to get an idea of those who like the idea not concerning the price. If you could hypothetically get some dice for free that had these various options.....which would you choose? If you want to display a reasoning and feel comfortable then please post in the comments below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gailbraithe Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 My two biggest oppositions to Hamster Butt are as follows: 1) I tend to forget when my dice have a replacement symbol, and thus I know I will find myself in a position of having to explain (to a non-hamster) what the symbols mean after I roll. Having two replacement symbols creates the potential for arguments over cheating -- and presents the opportunity for cheating (I know I would be tempted to claim the Hamster Butt is the six if I rolled a hand heavy with hamster ass). While having two replacement symbols would definitely be unique, I suspect the reason it would be unique is because most people recognize this potential for cheating. I would just prefer one replacement symbol so that I can show the other player sides 1-5 and confirm the hamster is the six. 2) It's a bit juvenile and tacky. While I know the world of wargaming is hardly one of high brow manners, I just don't want to have to explain to non-hamsters that my dice have buttholes on them. My sense is that the number of people who would be amused by it is less than the number of people who would roll their eyes at it. I don't want to be embarrassed by my dice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradNardone Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 i just think the 1 and 6 both being logos may look too similar when you have a bunch on the table and just cause confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fix Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'd probably just hit the cutout part of one face with a highlighter or something. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashthedean Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 My sentiments pretty much mirror Miles'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggies01 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Ahh Now I see where the problem lies. My apologies and correct me if I am wrong. The initial idea was that we were going to be ordering massive amounts with the 2 sided customized faces. So in turn 36 dice per person or something of that matter. However my vision was to have very few unique 2 sided customized dice. Maybe just two per person. In that case then it won't matter if the dice stands out, and the opponents won't get confused as you won't be taking 30 armor saves on just two dice. If you do I would shoot you myself. Gladly...and repeatedly. Remember, no matter how many dice we do or don't have, it is up to the gamer to clearly clarify how they note the facings of the dice. Hopefully this clarifies things.

BradNardone Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 i would still just want the dice with the face replacing the 6 and leave the 1 alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 /agree with BradNardone and others. 6 = hamster of infinite cuteness 1 = just a regular ol' pip Small thought but I betcha that once the 'hamster die are out there anyway, regardless of graphics, I bet the rolls of 1 will be known as the bhole anyhow. It'll be on the opposite side of the hamster of infinite cuteness, it's only one pip that is probably of similar scale to a hamster's pooper and the majority of gamers are boys. So I bet without any prompting it shall be known. Stay safe, don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Trainer Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Can you get a number representation on the artwork? Like Hamster butt with a 1 under the tail, etc... but I agree the potential argument from players about cheating is definitely rough.

huggies01 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yes the "1" pip on the dice is pretty recognizable in terms of the hamster. Fairly recognizable to say the least. Let's just say that opponents won't forget betwixt the sides. Epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
