They tried that as well with the last CE and failed even harder than with the dice. The recipe cards were all outdated on the day of release and a lot of them were not showing working recipes anymore, which killed the whole fun of the cards as they went from "neat" to "m臧, useless".
Same for the cloth map btw, just without the neat factor, because that thing was so bad that I kept searching for the real cloth map for a while until accepting that this thing was supposed to be the real deal.
Yes, those ideas were horribly implemented, which is why I'm more excited about the dwarven mug being included in the CE, because I always have a beverage near my desk and that is an example of an item I can sit down with when I start playing D:OS 2 and get immediate and frequent use out of (unless it's made out of some cheap, toxic material that leeches into the liquid, at which point we're back to a horribly implemented idea again).
However, I can't use dice with D:OS 2 unless I'm going to do something silly like allow dice rolls to determine my responses.
And I'm not usually adding salt or pepper to anything on my computer desk, so while the proposed pyramid shakers are a somewhat entertaining idea, they're not really going to do anything but sit stored in the CE box. Pyramid bookends might have been a better idea; then at least they'd have a use on my desk.
