The sole advatage of buying these dice is that they are sold at your local chain bookstore. The instructions are obtuse and redundant, and the dice are cheap, small, and only one of each type is provided. Advice: take your ~[$$] to a hobby store and pick out your own dice or failing that buy for [$$] the D&D introduction game that includes the same identical dice, and get a few goodies as well.
As a note it sickens me when for the price they charge for cheap, [discount chain store] quality dice they couldn't throw in another set, or at the bare minimum include the 10-00 10 sided die as a complement to the 10 sided dice that comes with the 'System dice.'

The introduction won't help too much unless you're really not sure if you'd like to play. In order to play either game you'll need to purchase more dice AND more rules.
Most game shops sells sets of dice for the same price or less but include 3 d6 and 2 d10 (and you really should have at least 4 d6, or better yet, 2 full sets)
Plus, you'll need at least the core rule books to play anyway.
Save yourself the time, make the decision to play and do it. This set will sit in the back of your closet with the magic crystals you got for christmas 5 years ago, OR you'll end up bying the core rulebooks and a full set of dice or two anyway.

Colorful, functional, and a bit overpriced., 23 Jun 2001

This set of dice is identical to the set that comes with the D&D Adventure game, except this set includes a purple percentile die. For those who aren't familiar with the adventure game, the dice are: an orange d20, a yellow d12, a green d10, a purple percentile die, a blue d8, a red d6, and a black d4. The inking on all the dice is white, except for the d12 which has black inking. The free adventure isn't very good. These dice are more expensive than what you'll find at deidcated game stores.
