  • 1.  Custom Dice by Chessex

    Hi all,

    The custom dice for Arkham Horror were made by Chessex. There were a number of rounds of orders. Arkham has three character states, cursed, normal and blessed. Cursed characters succeed on the role of a 6, normal 5 or 6, and blessed on 4, 5, or 6. These dice removed any non-valid pips, which makes spotting successes easy.

    Three dice, one red, one green, and one blue. Each with elder sign symbols representing successes for cursed, normal, and blessed characters.
