I posted a link to a page with a LOT of cool dice ... is there one in particular that you like?
This is a very vague question ...Quote:
What's a good way to get some nice d6s that look pretty good?
What specifically are you looking for ?

Not only is it feasible ... they actually exist from Minion Games
Now ... I do say that they will likely erase easily ... so when tossing them ... it would be best to use a dice cup that is of hard material ... like a large glass ... or small trash can ... so as not not smudge the indicia

Hey Kevin,
I was thinking about dice I wanted to get since the last question I asked.
I'm very OCD about certain things, and I'm looking for dice that do four things.
1) Look cool.
2) Match in style.
3) Show numbers without being inked/painted/etc.
4) Are somewhat fair (I don't need super precision, just something I won't notice).
Any dice you could advise that fit these criteria?
This for example seems perfect if a little expensive, but I'd need a matching D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 (D3, D5 and D100, would be a bonus).
Though I'm guessing these might be a little costly too, something simpler would work too, so long as the numbers are "built into" the dice themselves and are still visible after the paint wears away.
LOL .. you guessed my answer ... I like the Thorn Dice so much that I bought (and recently posted) a copy of them in GOLD ($89 US)
CLICK HERE to gaze upon these beauties ... I will be bringing them to GenCon ... to show and try to boost Shapeways use
Damnit... the gold ones are gorgeous, but I couldn't justify the expense.
Maybe I will try one of the other materials though. Thanks. :)

Can read this d6?
When you first started collecting, did you make use of the Chessex Pound-O-Dice or any similar offers? It seems like it would have been a nice way to possibly increase your stock of unique dice relatively quickly. Then again, you may randomly end up with a bag of a hundred or so d6 that are all the same.
I started collecting in 1977 ... back then .. there pretty much were only 2 companies that made dice (Gamescience and Armory) ... Bulk dice like the pounds of dice ... are recent option ... so the answer is No :)
Very trueQuote:

By the way, Warhammer 8th edition is coming out, and with it a set of D6 Skull dice (buyable separately, ~$15 for 8 if I recall correctly) from Games-Workshop.

Ouch sold out on site eh? Maybe try getting down to an actual Games Workshop, preferably today.
They're only available for the new release of Warhammer, AFAIK.
I'm stopping by today, I'll have a look and see if they have any left.
Are there any dice you are aware of that resemble nuts, bolts, or gears(etc, anything robot-ty)?
I'm going to play a robot in D20 modern and would like to annoy Scott by getting custom dice for the character.
I bought a mixed dice pack from a convention and in it I found a rather curious dice. it is a 12 sider with the numbers 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8.
The three has a circle around it and it is a white base with black letters. Has anyone else gotten or seen one of these?
As a man who likes antiquity, I have a question:
What is the oldest dice you own?
Also, another quick one, what is the most unique(In your opinion) dice you own?
Question! Do you have any glass dice? If so then: have you done this? http://www.wackyuses.com/experiments/friedmarbles.htm
Well just a thought.
Do you collect cheesy love dice or anything like that? I bought some as a gag for my girlfriend. There were two different sets of two dice. One set has cuddle, kiss, stuff like that on one die and couch, chair, stuff like that on the other. The other set has stroke, massage, etc on one and face, arms, etc on the other.
She thought they were cute.
I have seen them in dice devices but not as dice themselves
Please send me an email on this as it will take some research to see if I have one or not ... if possible ... inlcude a photo
I suspect it is the 2nd century Persian die ... it would be better if you :OOK HERE
Well ... most unique is not really a term as unique means "existing as the only one or as the sole example"Quote:
Also, another quick one, what is the most unique(In your opinion) dice you own?
I do have a theme for special dice ... which may or may not be unique
Have ... yes ... CLICK HERE
Have I tried that ... no ... as it would likely destroy the die ... marbles are sphereical ... and this lends to the effect you see in that link
Yes ... CLICK HERE
Sounds to me like you got yourself a set of GOLO dice.
Link to Kevin's site.
YES, my die looks exactly like the white die over the "play" on the GOLO website

Petrified bone?!
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'll ask it again: what is the rarest/most valuable material one of your dice is made from?
Additionally, are any made from dangerous materials - like uranium (depleted or not?).
