    Default A Lot of Dice / Gaming clubs are cool

    I'm the president of a gaming club.
    Gaming clubs are great.

    I organised a big order open to all out club members and to restock the club room.
    I organised to buy them through Chessex,
    they gave us 50% off retail, which was a great deal (I believe it was related to us being in Australia, and so not needing to pay US retail sales tax).
    Deal for members was the club would pay postage and money conversion ($AU~=$US), and members would just pay retail cost.
    Which is allot cheaper, because these dice would be are 1.5-2 times the cost if you were to buy them here in Australia.

    So this is what $1300 worth of dice looks like:

    Need to find a God? or Spell or Feat?

    That's... both a lot of dice and not nearly how much I was expecting for that price tag.

    Fancy dice are expensive.
    the 2 sealed boxes underneath the open boxes, contain a best of chessex sampler.
    That is a full range of all there most popular (and thus most expensive) dice, in sets of 7.
    Each is worth $217

    What, you mean Perth has a gaming club that isn't run out of Tactics?

    This is ... a huge hit to my worldview. I have to go and think about this a while.
