My wife and I play the physical version of this game regularly and really enjoy it. So we were excited to find it here so that we could share it with long distance friends. But the implementation here is nearly unplayable b/c the dice rolls are always incredibly low, too low to capture any landscape cards. So we just keep having to reload, reload, reload to get more and more adventurers, and a game that takes 30 minutes to play around the table is taking us weeks on BGA to get through.

I realize the game may have been abandoned here, but if there's anyone listening who'd like more people to play the game, please do something to make the dice rolls more like playing in person, where even the most unlucky person does not constantly roll 1's! I would love to share the game with more people who can't join us to play in person!

FYI, Dragonwood does not use regular d6 dice, and the die roll average is 2.5.

You thought so, too, eh? Check me on something, because I don't physically have this game. Are the dice in the home version a standard d6? Cuz I'll admit, in the few times I've gotten to play this, I have never once had a single die roll higher than a 4 for me or my opponent. That makes me think that the dice faces read 1-1-2-2-3-4 instead of 1-2-3-4-5-6. But what are they in the physical game?

They're 1 2 2 3 3 4, according to https://boardgamegeek.com/image/2940328/dragonwood, and the rules summary, which says: "In Dragonwood, six dice are used, each with faces 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and 4. https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelpdragonwood
The average should be 1+2+2+3+3+4=15 / 6 = 2.5, as ufm reports.
