Default Re: why do people deride those 11.5 g clay \"dice\" chips?

i have dice, btw, and i like them fine, but have been buying samples for a month now, and can't wait to upgrade.

the feel: it's hard to describe. i think it might just be the friction. they actually riffle; i thought i was a retard b/c i couldn't riffle my dice; they're just pretty hard to do, b/c they slip all over the place. the clays don't want to slip all over. they stack without wobbling. the dice have a hard time over 20 or so; if you're on a table with foam padding, 20 is questionable.

and they look worlds apart.

the sound of dice: terrible. they sound like party poker chips, that obnoxious sound effect...ugh. clay chips are much more subdued, less grating of a sound.
