Interesting
I know there are plenty of math games that use non cubic dice as well as many other games in the gaming industry (ie RPGs ... Wargames etc)
Is this book available in English?

Hmm, not at first glance but the author did write Face to face with DICE in English, where the before mentioned lady is on the cover.
I'll try these games first before looking for any others. Unless you can recommend one?
Ah .. so it was Leo ... got it ... no need as his Face to Face will have the same data I need
LOL ... ya know .. I spend so much time collecting that I have trouble finding time to playQuote:

I believe that the symbol on the right is for the Nite Owl (Watchmen)
I purchased these in an auction and they were custom dice made by Chessex before they were given a cease and desist order
Any help would be greatly helpful
EDIT: Got very fast answer from another reader

EDIT: never mind, then.
Was talking to a magician yesterday and he was talking about trick dice.
A dice that can throw any number you want, dice that can be "read" from 5 meters away. They sound awfully expensive just to collect. Do you occupy yourself with such dice?
I believe that the person was speaking of were Mercury Tappers

We'll take that as a yes...where do you still find new dice after collecting so many?

I found 3 dice and I remember they're from a game I used to play with my oldest son when he was younger, but I can't remember which game. They are 8-sided with the following pictures on them: an axe, a rope, a raft, an open door, a tennis racket, a sword, a numbered 8-sided die, and an hourglass with a red background. Are you familiar with these dice or do you have any idea where I can find out what game they're from?
The first two look like some variation of Asgard Gifts Elder Futhark dice. Perhaps that would be a good place to start investigating.
What's the oldest dice you have? Do you have any original Roman Tali, for example? I guess those would be just plain sheep bones!
I checked the database and came up empty :( .. sorry .. searched tennis ... rope/noose ... raft ... sword
I thought so as well but the die does not have enough faces .. and even with simplified versions ... they just dont fit :( .. thanks though
Depleted Uranium
2nd centruy Persian
I dont have any roman Tali
Do electronic dice exist? I found an ugly d6, but I'd like to know if do exist, like, "standalone" handheld dice rollers (with "standalone" meaning dedicated devices whose only purpose is generating random numbers according to die codes).
Do you have the awesomeliciousness that is the D20 8-ball?

This question kept bothering me ... and somewhere during the night ... I remembered what it was .. and updated the database .... JUMANJI
Thurbane is correct ... The device being discussed is the Dragonbone .. and I am seeking a functioning one (I have a broken one)
Electronic dice have existed for a long time ... See the THINGS page as well as the PALCO for just some of the examples
Yep .. did you know that there have been 3 other THINK GEEK sets/dice over the years?
This is one Q i have been meaning too ask for ages,, a number of years ago there was a fashion in the east,japan I think, for jewellry made of fossilised dinosaur poop[no,honest ,really]
do you have any dice made of this?
also,did the ancient celts use dice at all,before the roman influence I mean?
And thanks for a fascinating thread,i always read this :)
Interesting, I didn't know that. I especially like the light-up one.Quote:

Does d29 exist? If it does, a lot of ninjas will be happy...
Really? I would be interested to know what an object like that would look like.
As for your question, check the DnD book: Oriental Adventures, p. 72, table 5-7: New weapons and the entry it has for Ninja-to. You will see that it has a somewhat... unique critical threat range. :smallamused:
Well ... the first shape I can think of is a barrel or spindle shape much like this d20

Next would be the facited sphere ... like the D33

I never made it past 2nd ED D&D ... moved on to things a bit more logicalQuote:

Ooh ooh, I just got my fake dice in the mail. A D10 with two 0's and a D20 with two 20'ies. I'm thinking it would be better for my budget to specialise in fake dice :smallsmile:
Do you display your dice in a special way?
But there is a top-100 or something?
A glass display case, a boudoir, ... ?
