7pc RPG Set - DOTS Braille Acrylic - Molten Bronze

I got a set for Christmas, and also bought a set for my friend thereafter. We both love them! We're both Braille readers, although I'm more fluent than my friend, and we have no problem with the numbers. Being that Braille uses the numbers of the alphabet for one through nine, as well as zero, it's very easy just to add 10. I like the fact that they're not twice as big if not more by having the numbers be traditionally written out as they would be in a book. This makes a lot more sense.

I also absolutely adore the way they are designed for orientation. My friend has another set of braille dice, neither of us are sure where he got them from, as a friend of his gave them to him, but he struggles to know which side is down for each face. Also, for those particular dice, the outline of each face isn't a flat line, but a series of dots, which, although he doesn't get the dots mixed up with the Braille, Is a bit confusing at times. Having your dice be just a flat line across the face with a break in the middle to indicate how they're meant to be oriented makes them a lot faster to read, and a lot more pleasant to touch.

My friend in particular was gushing about how satisfying it is to slide his hand across the edges of each face as he turns the dice. He loves that!

In terms of the contrast, I like that they're one color. I find too many colors really overstimulating, especially bright colors, and I always use a dice tray with my dice no matter what, so I know I won't lose them, so the dice not contrasting well with the table doesn't bother me at all. I'm hoping to buy another set of these to have more dice to roll at one time. I'm hoping to next buy the metal dice. I will definitely be buying more sets of these for my friends if they want them.

I work in a college for the blind for post 16 education. Students love being able to roll their own dice and read it, giving them full autonomy of their own characters in D&D. They fully understood what the markers mean and didn't miss the numerical indicator on the dice due to the context of their use. Some students are still developing their braille skills, so the cards that help translate that come with each set is handy. If I could rate these higher, I would.

The design is unique.
I work at a place where we produce Braille documents And I wanted to get my blind coworkers a unique gift.
As noted in the description, they do not use traditional number indicators, they just use letters of the alphabet to signify the number. For example, A=1, B=2... J=10, etc.
I bought both sets, the d6 set, and this one. This one seemed like it was molded instead of 3D printed like the d6 pack. I like that.
The feedback I got from my co-workers who rely on Braille to navigate their world was mixed. They liked that the product existed, but everyone had the same question.
Why not just add the numerical indicator before the letter like normal Braille? Thereby making it read how they are used to reading numbers (Apologies, I can't explain very well).
The feedback I got from half a dozen folks who exclusively use Braille was that they wished that the dice were larger, that way they could make the numbers much more readable.
I think that is a wonderful suggestion!

They did say that the "key' marking along the border showing them the orientation of the die was unique and appreciated once they understood its function. Again, several of them said it could be made larger or in other way more noticeable so they could figure it out quicker.
Hot take: it's a great step in the right direction! Needs some fine tuning. Making the dice larger would solve many of the feedback critiques. Being able to add the numerical indicator would be fantastic!
I hope this feedback was helpful. Thank you for this product, everyone who put their hands on it smiled.

Caught them talking out loud wondering how the system worked for a while (and enjoying speculating) until I explained that they worked from the alphabet and what number of the alphabet each letter is, they've actually been playing rather than looking bored and not using the dice apps on their phone. Tactile media is pretty great.

Love these dice, their packaging and the whole idea behind them! Appreciate the quick shipping as well. Thanks!
