Did the 1e Gamma World box set come with a set of dice? If so, were they the same pre-inked Holmes rainbow polyhedra? Curious minds want to know.

It did. If my memory serves me correctly, it was a set of soft-plastic poly dice similar to those from the OD&D days -- the yellow d4, orange d6, green d8, blue d12, and white d20. Similar to your picture, but yours look to be later gamescience dice rather than the old TSR ones.

I thought maybe that was the case, but finding a picture anywhere was proving difficult. My photo is a Gamescience recreation of the Holmes/TSR Polyhedra colors. Except my d20 pictured has the + numbers. |

I get ya regarding your recreation. My favorite dice are my old TSR strange-color poly set. I bought several "sets" of the gamescience ones to use in-play so that I could retire my originals, which is how I recognized them so quickly. Then I found that I could get individual chessex dice with a better color-match and made of tougher stuff. (Of course, the d20's go 1-20 instead of 0-9 twice with colored numbers. Also, I could never quite get a good match for the blue, and the chessex blue dice have white numbers instead of black.)
Anyway, I have a particular passion for that color combo and am always hunting for a "better" replacement. Well done! :-)
