Quick answer
Choose the Original Elder Dice Collection if you need a full polyhedral set for varied RPG rolls. Pick the Mythic Cosmic Jade d6 set if you want a matching batch of d6s with a more intricate color blend and a thematic symbol.
Symbol placement and dice variety
The Original Elder Dice Collection includes nine polyhedral dice per design, with symbols replacing the highest value on each die. That gives you a full set for games that require d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. The Mythic Cosmic Jade d6 set, by contrast, uses the Brand of Cthulhu symbol only on the "6" face, and the tube contains nine six-sided dice. If your game system relies mostly on d6 pools, the Mythic set works well. If you need a range of polyhedral shapes, the Original collection is the practical choice.
Color complexity and visual style
The Mythic Cosmic Jade d6 set is described as a "more complicated blend of colors than any we've made in the past." That means richer, more layered swirls compared to the Original Elder Dice designs. If you value a unique, complex color pattern for your dice tray, the Mythic series delivers a noticeable upgrade. The Original collection still offers three distinct designs, each with its own look, but the color mixing is less elaborate.
Trade-offs between the two sets
- Dice variety: The Original collection gives you full polyhedral sets (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20) plus extra d6s. The Mythic Cosmic Jade set offers only d6s.
- Color complexity: Mythic Cosmic Jade dice have a more intricate color blend than the Original designs. If you want unique, layered colors, the Mythic set stands out.
- Symbol placement: Both sets replace the highest value with a symbol, but the Mythic set uses the Brand of Cthulhu symbol on the "6" face only. The Original collection uses a symbol on each die's highest face across all shapes.
- Price and value: The Original collection costs USD 82.76 (compared to USD 119.94) for three full polyhedral sets plus d6 tubes. The Mythic Cosmic Jade d6 set costs USD 11.55 (compared to USD 16.99) for a single tube of nine d6s. If you need multiple dice types, the Original collection offers better per-die value. If you only want d6s, the Mythic set is more economical.
