100% agreed. I had faith in FL and it was rewarded. And I totally like the idea of finding a fun use for the botched die, like a magical item or a virtue...

Tipp-Ex will do during the wait for the replacement.

Yes, this is good customer care! Expensive, but good.

I assume the same will be offered for those who only pre-ordered the game with dice through the webshop (not going by Kickstarter)?
Yes, we'll offer the same choice to preorders.

I'm super happy with the resolution here. I raved about the RPG to my kin on Lord of the Rings Online and sold a starter set already! I mean if they're playing Lotro they're probably low hanging fruit but still. Can't wait to get my hands on the hard copies!

Alternate Cultural Blessing of the Elves:

Eleven-skill: As long as you are not Miserable, use this special Feat die on any Skill roll. When you roll an 11 on the Feat die, your result counts as a Magical success without needing to spend Hope.
It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.

Great ideas!!
There could be a fan-made PDF for April's Fool day, that compiles ideas from the community to use the Spinal Tap die as an in-game mechanic.

P16 of rulebook: feat dice are 1-10, 11 is the Eye, 12 is Gandalf rune. Might be a mistake with the dice printing rather than a rule change?
that explains it, though you would have thought logicaly rolling a nat 1 on a roll would be the worst possible result, rather than 11

My guess is that that FL told the die manufacturer that they wanted some cool-looking d12s, except replace the 1 with an eye and the 12 with a rune. But nobody remembered to specify changing the rest of the numbers so they are 1 to 10 not 2 to 11.

Good thing I have my dice from 1E and Tales from the Green Dragon Inn!

whether it was error in communication or in the exact specification, what might have played into it is that most custom dices you find, that aren't complete replacements of all faces, have standard numbering with min and/or max value replaced by symbols.
As this would lead to the case we have here, with the remaining numbers 2-11.
so somewhere there might have gone a wrong assumption into the production process.
On the other hand, with custom lettering somewhere the 11 has to have come from, so maybe not. :)
