This is the second dice set I buy from CR, one last Christmas Sale (Fjord Stone's) and one this Christmas Sale (Vox Machina GM's), and I had the same problem with both: The bag smells horribly, and when you wash it or air it the smell is gone but then it comes back again, also impregnating the dice, which is not only disgusting but very strange. It tooks me a while, and many attempts with different cleaning products to get rid of the smell of the previous one and I'm annoyed that I need to go through that process again with this set.
It is a pity because the dice are very cool and the bag looks amazing, but the smell makes the bag unusable unless you put the hard work of removing the smell. Since I know from other reviews that I am not the only one I can not give this product a positive review.
A friend of mine living in a different country ordered other sets and didn't have this problem, so I don't know whether it's about the ink used for this bag, the production branch or that the Christmas Sale has a discount only for dice sets affected by this issue (so they get rid of this stock quickly), but I'm very dissappointed that this happened twice in a row and I do not feel like ordering more CR dice just to avoid this issue. :(
The dice are very cool, very easy to read and beautiful in their simplicity. The bag aesthetically looks awesome and I like it has the CR logo engraved and a metal tag with the VM logo attached to the cords. Without the smell issue, this would be a 5 star product, but the issue ruins the experience.
