Saga - My Vikings
Dice
Originally I wasn’t sure I was going to commit to the game and over £10 a pack of dice just grated a little.
I may invest in something nicer one day, but for now these look fine.
The dice faces are available on the Tomahawk Studio’s website along with several interesting downloads for all their games.
The blank dice are from The Dice Shop online.
I didn’t colour match the green paint well on my first attempt, but again, it was all about a cheap jump off point to try the game.
I have since used a paint package to have the faces print off in a green colour i can settle with (close enough to the blank dice colour).
ADVICE – use super glue. I used PVA to stick the symbols down, but they kept falling off after a few months of only occasional use. Since i started putting them back with superglue they have stayed put more often.
If I get a faction like Scots or Irish I will just buy the actual dice from Gripping Beast. It seems like a waste of time crafting them now I am so heavily invested into Saga. Only if i had a cool idea that involved more than just cutting and pasting like these would i bother making my own again.
There are some awesome ideas out there.
Joe Rogers from Wisco Tabletop on YouTube did a great video.
