This is, hands down, the sexiest set of dice I've ever had the privilege of throwing. I put together a 31 piece set.

5d4
15d6 (12 are piped)
5d8
2d10 (percentiles)
3d12
1d20

and, being green and gold, the two colors of money, I feel like my dice bag is a coin pouch full of monies! I can pick up handfuls and let them fall through my fingers. It's incredibly satisfying.

the piped d6 have much rounder edges and corners so they roll a bit better than the ones with numbers, and the 20 has relatively sharp edges, but thats always compared to my godly d20 I've had since AD&D times. Ive never seen a 20 as round as that one since, so I'm not too worried. This green one has been playing pretty well all in all.

Chessex makes great dice! If you want a set that will roll well for you #1 buy chessex, and #2 buy a set that you will be proud to pour out onto the gaming table. If you dice are just dice, then they wont be as nice (at least thats my experience), but when you truly love you dice they will love you back.

check out all of the colors. there are a few blue sets that I think rival this set in sexy-ness.

Enjoy your games, and keep on rolling 20's!

The stock images of these dice simply do not do them justice. They are wonderfully crafted and look amazing, but I do have a few nitpicks.

The d20 has several points that are scuffed or slightly worn, as if I had already been using it for quite some time, or had been grinding it against something. Also, the d4's Vortex look is not quite as polished as the others. There are a few spots where instead of looking like a swirl of color, it just looks like a series big, ugly globules of green.

Nitpicking aside, this is a really nice set. They came packaged in a small, transparent, plastic case (as dice usually do), but I went ahead and bought a bag to put them in anyway. Which is a good thing, because in my attempts to get the plastic case open, I cracked it a bit... (not the manufacturer's fault, simply my own clumsiness).
Regardless of nitpicking and my own user error, you can't beat what you get for the price.
