Compare Numeral Bloodied Dice and Shift Dice for Gaslands Refuelled. Learn which set suits your tabletop gaming style based on theme and mechanics.
Quick answer
Choose Shift Dice if you play Gaslands Refuelled and want dedicated gear-status tracking. Pick Numeral Bloodied Dice for a versatile, thematic set that works across historical and fantasy wargames as well.
Theme vs. mechanics
The core difference comes down to whether you want a die that does double duty across multiple game systems or one that is purpose-built for a single game's mechanics. Numeral Bloodied Dice bring a grim aesthetic that fits feudal Japan, Rome, or any blood-and-grit setting, but they are standard D6 dice with no special markings. Shift Dice, on the other hand, are designed specifically for Gaslands Refuelled, showing each vehicle's gear status at a glance.
What you lose with each choice
If you go with Numeral Bloodied Dice, you lose the convenience of instant gear identification during a Gaslands race—you will need to track gear separately or use a reference sheet. If you go with Shift Dice, you gain that convenience but lose the ability to use the dice for other wargames without the gear markings confusing the roll.
