To be exact, the pdf-set would be the Digital Tools Box which is a digital version of Beginner+Alphaware.

True, more value for my money then!

A truly unique and very fun option are dice rings. The ones I've linked to work very well and are a fun piece to start conversations or get noticed at a con but are not practical for Shadowrun (to many dice at once to use rings)

Really nice! My Geek-Totem wants to squeal; my Credit-Card-Totem is frowning at me. Oh well... Too much PDF's to buy soon, so I will let this one go.    Thanks for the share, maybe one day I'll buy one.

And a big Black Friday cyber Monday sale has launched. 12.00 a piece this weakened.

Just what I need...another reason to spend money on a great deal...sigh

CGL do offer dice during the con season, but they're pretty uninspired...never picked any up despite loving dice.

Well, not sure what to think; this was just posted on the CGL Tumblr:



On one hand, I think they're some great dice for the new game CGL is working on...on the other hand, completely baffled why they aren't doing something similar for SR...

It's easier to try new things with smaller properties.

And cats. Everything is easier with cats.

I think those are for Catbug.  Dunno for certain, but those will likely end up like the SR dice, and be convention merch.  (I do wish they would stock the various SR dice they've done yeaar round and put them on the Batleshop).

A die is missing Bull, but I believe those are going into the Bravest Warrior sets. The game uses 6 d6 to play.

I thought that Randall posted something about "special" dice that he was looking at for the the boxed set(s), but I think it was a long time ago, before the decision was made to split in to two releases. I wonder if the issue is economics (investment vs return) or time (simply not enough to design, order and stock)...maybe both? I know that I'd gobble a couple of sets up, but appreciate that I might not be representative of the market as a whole.

I will freely admit that the only reason I haven't bought the box set is the lack of logo dice.  I remember once a long time ago the TORG box set came with a specialty d20, after mine was lost (stolen) I went out and bought a second copy of the box set just to replace my lost die.

I definitely would buy logo dice if they were more commonly available, even in a box set, as until this last year I had been unable to attend conventions, and pharmacy school will be keeping me from all but a couple of them now.

I love the idea of logo dice.  When my wife began playing Shadowrun, I bought her a couple of tins of the Pegasus Spiele dice.  Now I can't find them, and I love those dice.  I use them more than she does now.    They're sort of like my version of Homer's bowling ball.

I have been trying to hunt for some of those too.  haven't seen them for sale anywhere since well before SR5 was released... and back then, I didn't have the money to grab any  

It's why I was really hoping the Box Sets had some sort of custom dice.

[Gollum9]

I'm just looking at the new starter boxes to get into the game but not sure whether I should go that direction or just buy the book. Are there any character gen rules in either product or are you stuck with just the initial pre generated ones?

Is there much else I would be missing by getting the 2 starter products?

Thanks for your help

[AJCarrington]

To be honest, unless you want the physical materials in the box, would suggest you consider the digital version and the core book. Smaller investment that gives you benefits of both, IMHO
