I am extremely disappointed with these dice. The stone is pretty, but the dice are not symmetrical or even at all, which makes them not roll evenly and they look ugly and tilted on the table. Plus, many of the numbers are printed off center... Leading to dice sides being misshapen AND having of center numbers... I could understand this quality from a $5 set of plastic dice, but I paid for quality dice. Making them from pretty stone does not excuse you from making them well.
Kristina.LI have the same issue. My d20 is ridiculously uneven. For example, when 9 is on top, other dice will slide right off the side. Obviously not a good thing. The other dice are alright; the angles are larger so the discrepancies are not as noticeable.
MurphysParadoxYeah, my d20 and d12 are both visibly uneven and my normal d10 has badly printed numbers. I've contacted the manufacturers about replacements or a refund, but so far, no dice (eh? I'm proud of that one). Hoping they'll stand by their claim of these being "quality gaming dice" which easily implied that they're balanced.
Kristina.LThank you for this post. These things look gorgeous in the picture and I was about to instant buy, but decided to read the comments. Any luck with them 'standing by' the claim?
Kristina.LFWIW, I too got these from the Kickstarter and am very pleased with the ones that I got. (I don't dispute that their might be quality control issues affecting other sets.) Mine are so nice to play with that they are now part of my regular gaming set. I love the hand feel, and the legibility.
Based on the comments here I just did a 200 roll Pearson's chi-squared of my d20, and it came out at 19.57, comfortably below the threshold for a biased die. I did take another look at the inking too and it is mostly very good, although I do note that my the 0 on the d10 is a bit off alignment.
So with the caveat that I don't know how quality control is being handled for this batch, they can be very nice. I hope that this is getting nailed down.
