Chessex Pound-O-Dice Unboxing 

What I think is happening on the frosted dice is this: They tumble them after they are cut, which gives them the rounder edges. Or they acid etch them. This gives them a slightly rougher exterior compared to "normal" ones. The rougher texture gives the frosted appearance. The oil from your skin is causing light to reflect in a more unified way which lets the color underneath come through more. You have probably experienced this before when pouring water on finely broken glass or onto dry stones outside. Those will get lighter again once they dry, but the oil in your skin won't evaporate like water does.

The uninked d8s look real old school. The kind you'd get in the box with RPGs in the 80s. I remember TSR including a white wax crayon in the Star Frontiers boxes, for "inking" the numbers in yourself. It was a simpler time 😊

I bought two pounds of Chessex Pound o' Dice. I got NO outsized dize or dice in special denominations, and no miniature (10 mm) dice. The dice were standard sized (17 mm?), and preponderantly speckled, an opaque colour mixed with little specks of another colour. There were also some opaque East German military dice with a ceramic-like finish, mainly yellows and greens with a few orange, mainly d10s and d20s dominated. There were also a group of two-toned dice roughly bisected by two different colours. There were some clear dice, a few luxurious looking ones with iridescent finish, and the matched set in the manila envelope packet. By the way, if you ever get un-inked dice like the way they were sold in the old days, a great way to fill them up is with a correction-fluid pen. You fill in the grooves of the numbers, and wipe off what goes out of bounds with a rubbing-alcohol soaked tissue, and let dry. If it's a lighter colour die and white may not be readable, you can consider inking in the numbers with fine black marker.

With anything that is frosted, whether that be glass or plastic, it will go clear when it gets wet, so there's nothing wrong with your frosted dice.. I'm pretty sure frosting is a textural thing and not a coating.... Give it a quick rinse in water and pat it dry with a clean dry towel or paper towel.

The frosted dice are like a frosted glass or sea glass. The darkness comes from the moisture and oils from your hands. I have bead like that and the lighter color does come back when they dry out and get knocked around. Gorgeous dice set. I’m thinking of getting a pound of dice from them. Nice variety even if there are a few misfits. They have a character all their own. It’s exciting to see what you’re going to get.

The 2 translucent D8's with the sharp edges are Gamescience precision dice. They are supposed to have that little mark from the molding process. Chessex produced themfor a while.

For the "frosted" dice, they may have tumbled them in fine sand. Rinse off with water and dry.

The Un-inked D8's are (deliberately or accidentally) 'precision dice'. They are little bit more expensive than normal dice. Have a look at game science who sell dice with the sprue mark showing.

that set of flesh colored dice look pretty cool actually

Cool unboxing you got me into dice

your main set that deep blue color is very pretty!

Wow Great video, Kina a late reply but you got a sub from me. I like these type of videos because I started my own dice collection for D&D. I see these are quite worth and I like the way you sort out the dice. Anyway thanks for the great video.

All the kids are making the same mistake by calling the d10 marked in tens as "percentile". A percentile roll is d100 done with two 10-sided dice, and you can have one die marked in tens 10, 20, 30, ...00 but it is not strictly necessary. In the old days all d10s were marked the same. When you take SAT scores, they show your relative standing by putting you into 100 different categories also called "percentiles" and tell you you are in the 64th percentile, or whatever. In the bags, you never get enough tens dice to match with all the single-digit d10s.

Are the packaged dice inside the main bag randomized each time? They look pretty awesome either way.

Great video :p Kinda convinced me to skip out on the Pound-O-Dice, though, and buy sets I really like :p Those frosted ones look lovely.

Those two toned, blue/red and gray/red look awesome but i dont see them selling those type single, so i guess ill test my luck with the pound o dice

I didn't realize you've been making videos this long!

I might buy this

+JadekindGaming awesome video. I still have part of my first set of chessex dice from 1989 and they are still looking like new. I am going to buy another pound now this week from your video lol.

Good video and I love your shirt. Also, your shirt is 100% correct.

Good job, thanks man

It is the oil from your skin wiping off onto the frosted dice and changing how they look.

thanks for the awesome vid

what do you actually do with all of these dice?

3:20 - never seen someone have so much trouble opening a stapled folder before....

I don't know why, but when I bought this exact pack, all of the dice that had the same number of faces were all the same size. I had no big or small ones, they were all the same volume :( Was I just unlucky with my random assortment? Can anyone help me out? I live in the UK, so maybe there's a difference in the versions between the UK and US?

hello sir would you sell me that two toned d 20 like blue and yellow with red numbers for like dollar or two ?? It would fit my playmat ferfectly with ocean and beach☺

What are these dice made of?

How much would you say these are worth? Here the cost EUR 32,64

Illescas regálame una el de 6 caras el común como transparente

I recently purchased on Amazon from an external seller #5 sets of 16 mm D6 opaque dice (12 dice each set) from Chessex and, although I haven't checked out whether they are or not biased (salt water test), I've found the following: - All dice actually measure *15 mm* instead of 16 mm. - The seller assures they are original (in fact they all came in their original plastic cases with the typical Chessex label in each), but he stated that *all Chessex dice are made in China* regardless what the label says (apparently the label only refers to the country where the Chessex office is located, but not the country of manufacturing.) So, although mines say "Made in Denmark" on all labels, should I trust the seller and assume they are actually made in China? Maybe the lables are made in Denmark but the dice themselves are made in China? 🤔 If so, Chessex has been lying to everybody during all these years! Does anyone have any information to clarify this, please?

is everyone here ready to DIE!

i wanna eat those, they look like candy (especialy the precision d8s)

16:14 How many people have you killed with those dice?
