Introducing the Critical Chit™

In the early days of roleplaying games, dice were not near as prevalent as they are now. At that time, there was an actual shortage of dice in the marketplace. This led to the release of chits in some early printings of Dungeons & Dragons™. While it is hard to believe now, players around the world carefully cut up these precious cardstock number generators and placed them into various containers from which they drew forth their character’s fate.

 

Nowadays, polyhedral dice are found in abundance. They are made from every imaginable material; they come in sizes both large and small; they are peddled by near every vendor that has the remotest connection to these wonderful games we play.

 

But deep in the history of the hobby, lies the dusty and long forgotten chit. Videos, books, seminars and articles galore are dedicated to dice, their development, their important role in the tabletop hobby and their collectible aspects for the discriminating gamer. But the use of the chit is an often laughed at moment in gaming history that warrants little more than a chuckle.

 

We should not forget that, for a brief time, these venerable heroes kept the action going when dice were nowhere to be found! Our sale for this year has ended, but watch again next April 1st as we will yet again honor the chit by including a printed, color-coded Critical Chit™ set free with every online order. These will not be available by any other means throughout the year!

 

No fooling - this is definitely a serious offer!
