Iron Creek

“The gold-digger in the ravines of the mountains is as much a gambler as his fellow in the saloons of San Francisco. What difference does it make, whether you shake dirt or shake dice?”
Henry David Thoreau, “Life without Principle” (1854)

While Thoreau disliked both gold diggers and gamblers, both are welcome in Iron Creek where fortunes are won and lost, along with lives, on games of dice. I  happen to rather like dice myself, and was delighted when this parcel from Q Workshop arrived.

What's inside? These beauties, that's what...

They're designed for use with Deadlands and look (and feel) great, just what's needed for Dead Man's Hand. This set of four D20s and two D10s came to £12.30 including postage from Poland and they got here in just eight days. They even included a bonus D6 and a free bookmark!

Both dice measure approximately 20mm which is a nice unobtrusive size but with all the fancy graphics the numbers themselves are pretty small. Once we've had a chance to roll them in anger we'll have a better sense of whether or not this is an issue but for now I'm delighted with the look and quality.

Let's end the post with a massive D20...
