Personal Dice
#1Unfortunately the shop where I bought all my needed roleplaying stuff from went into administration and ended up closing, for good.
I never did find a set of individual dice that I really felt an attachment to. I do have one set (2 D6'), but they are of such sentimental value, I no longer use them. Resorting to using plain white dice, of all types.
I remember asking Strolen about some "Strolenati" dice that exist only in limited quantity. I would very much like to have a pair, as this place does mean a lot to me.
However, I am also on the lookout for some other dice. I know there exists a cool dice thread already, but no (as far as I can remember) websites/places to purchase from. Could any of you fine folk direct me perchance? -

#2Chessex has a good selection of dice. I ordered directly through them once when my local game store couldn't locate a particular die that I wanted. A lot of online retailers resell Chessex dice, including Amazon.
For something a little more exotic, a quick search on kickstarter turned up Foam Brain Dice: Metals. I'm sure there are, or will be, more.
I've also seen custom dice offered on various RPG-related kickstarters. For instance, the Free RPG Day 2013 NeoExodus Adventure for Pathfinder RPG kickstarter is currently offering a 7-die set with certain reward levels.
FRP Games also has a number of interesting dice. I'm sure there are a lot of other online gaming retailers that sell dice. -

#3Of course somebody has to plug GameScience here. They have a bunch of dice sets in really fun colors, and they don't tumble their dice to round the edges. Theoretically, this makes them more random.

The only downside to the sets I have, is that the pre-painted black set ones tend to lose their numbers over time. Don't know if this will be an issue for any of the other sets I've bought. -

#5We must call upon Kevin Cook. Surely he would know the best places for dice acquisition. -

Good call Kassy, about damn time I did something like this again! -
