Dice arrived melted.
Yes, there was one line in the product description (does anyone read those fully?) that warned about shipping in warmer temps, but gave no guidance as to what temp was too warm for their product. FYI: 70s is too warm.
Sorry again that they arrived melted Shawn. And unfortunately yes, even 70f can cause them to melt. It's more about how the postal carriers choose to store the packages than it is about the ambient air temp. Because a short bit of heat isn't going to cause them to melt. But sustained levels will.
This is why we put the warning up on the product page because no matter what we do, unfortunately there's no way to prevent the possibility they will melt during warmer months. So definitely if you are looking to order gummy dice during your summer months, please be aware of the possibility they will arrive melted.
It was my first time as a DM! The instructions were easy to understand, the plot was super fun, and we had a great time playing! Thank you
Hi Celine - if you haven't already please email support@dakotairish.com so we can look into this for you.
I ordered a set of dice with a box and gift wrap and will definitely not be doing so again. The dice arrived jammed into my letter box in such a way that it couldn't be removed without considerable force, the packaging was already severely torn. The gift wrapping was also slightly torn but was also clearly very poorly wrapped even beforehand. The clear window on the dice box had 3 large dents in it, When ordering the gift wrap a box popped up asking who it was from and who it was to, there was no card and no indication of sender/recipient on the packaging so I'm not sure why you bothered asking. Overall awful service, I'd have been disappointed if it arrived undamaged due to the low effort.
Hi John - Admittedly, I'm not a professional wrapper or wrapping service, so I humbly accept your estimation that my wrapping is crap. And sincere apologies that you're unhappy with my skill. However, I would like to point out that I didn't personally shove the package into your letter box and damage the box, etc - that would have been your postie. Who, I would imagine, would be chagrin to know you are angry with him for his work that day. You might make a complaint to An Post instead of on a review here as they are unlikely to do anything about this review sadly. Although I will be sure to voice your displeasure to An Post if I were ever able to get ahold of and speak with someone there.
It didn't feel inherently romantic but as someone who has never DMed before it was a great starting point! I was able to improvise a bit more romance into the story and my husband (who normally DMs and was so happy to just get to play) enjoyed the game. We finished it in about 2 hours, which was perfect for an after-bedtime-routine date. The cafe scene was a bit weird to work through, but with some adjustments (and the addition of a barkeeper) we succeeded.
DakotaIrish went above and beyond to make sure that the gift I got my husband arrived on time. Their service is unbeatable and the quality is second to none.
A really fun short game (we did it in two x 2 hour sessions). I liked the concept and the different ways to complete the scenarios building to different endings. There were a couple of bits that tripped me up - more experienced DMs would probably be fine. There isn't a stat block for Mrs Fritz so I had to make up her HP and the mirror trial is presented in the beginning list with the other scenes, but the final scene wording feels like the mirror should be the penultimate scene.
This was a fun one shot that helped me introduce the mechanics of DnD to my wife! It was a blast
I got these as a gift for my boyfriend. They are truly great. When I received them, I was blown away with the craftsmanship and colours. I already liked them from the pictures, but in real life they are even better. The colours, the shading, the tongue, are all just fantastical. I knew my boyfriend was gonna love them. When I gave them to him he was just as impressed as I was and he can't wait to share them with his friend. I am so happy I bought from here and the dice are definitely worth the price 10000000%.
Hi Darrell - sorry to hear the booklet never arrived. Please contact support@dakotairish.com so we can look into this for you.
Quite linear with two battle encounters. However, fantastic for beginners, especially someone who is new to DMing such as myself with lots of guidance and hints. I did enjoy the look of panic on my wife’s face when she realised Whiskey could die. Some room for improvisation if you wish and you can alter it for different numbers. I managed to alter it so it still worked for myself DMing and my wife being the only player.
