Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I have agate and sterling silver d6s, actually. I remember Kevin propositioning a trade, but I am sort of attached since my parents bought me them from a trip.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I'm looking for a sharp D8 that can be used for Tali. Do you know of one, cause I bought some D8's with Tali markings for a Roman-themed RPG, but I would rather get some sharps with the same markings...

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
yea .. that would be cool
Fine point paint pens from a art or graphics store
I suggest you try http://customdice.com/ as they own GameScience now so they are the only sharp edged dice company at the moment
Yes ... but it would be huge

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I have recently started collecting dice in a mild manner (wooden,metal,shiny ).
Where can I buy some original dice (preferably for not too much money and low shipping cost )
Where can I find some fake dice? Magic shops don't have them that much apparently.
I'm drooling over the dice shown in this thread. Soooo beautiful !

You can try the the links in my links section in particular MANUFACTURERS (Direct and Indirect) ... and ... DISTRIBUTERS
I personnaly recommend GameStation.net ... as they carry most of the dice companies dice

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Have you found a game system that could very much benefit from using, say, the D-total?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Mostly, I was looking for a game that generally lets you roll, one at a time, and each at a different point, one dice, making it so that it wouldn't be too big of a deal to ONLY have a D-total, one for the DM, one for each player, and that would be enough to play the entire game. IE no one is expected to roll more than one dice at a time, and you generally don't have to roll 2d4 or 3d4, you just roll 1d4 if you are rolling d4's, and rolling d3, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d24 is relevant to the game... things like that. I was thinking something where everything is opposed checks, kind of like Ironclaw??

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Well this thread has me definately looking at dice in a new way.
I thought metal dice might make a great gift, but i'm thinking they could be quite loud, so would the noise be too loud for gaming?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I apologize if these have been answered already (too many pages to read! ahh!), but...
Does your collection of dice include casino dice?
What are the regulations on casino dice?
How easy is it to get ahold of casino dice?
You mentioned that casino dice get "burned" when finished. What do you mean by "burned", and what constitutes "finished"?
Do you have any of the original D&D blue book dice, and if so, what condition are they in?
Are the dice that we can find in an average gaming store of better quality than what you might find at a Wal-Mart or other chain store that does not cater to gamers? Is so, how can you tell?1. Have fun. It's only a game.
2. The GM has the final say. Everyone else is just a guest.
3. The game is for the players. A proper host entertains one's guests.
4. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Some games are not as cool as they seem.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Can you tell if there is any durability issues with dice, and if so, how?
(I'm thinking about how the cheap dice are notorious for getting rounded edges that skew the probability.)
Are sharp edges better than rounded edges (for probability)?
Taking an average die (I'll let you decide that, but please tell me what this "average die" is - including which kind), how many rolls does it take before the edges wear enough to skew the results?1. Have fun. It's only a game.
2. The GM has the final say. Everyone else is just a guest.
3. The game is for the players. A proper host entertains one's guests.
4. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Some games are not as cool as they seem.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
As a Chicagoan, I'd love an answer to this one too!
Up until a few years ago, we didn't have any actual gaming stores in Chicago - they were all in the suburbs.
I haven't bought any dice in Chicago yet, but both Cat & Mouse and Chicagoland Games have a decent selection.Lead Designer for Oracle Hunter GamesToday a Blog, Tomorrow a Business!

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Why did you choose the dice that you play with, to play with?
Err, I mean, when you play a game that involves dice, why do you use the ones that you use?Thank you Ceika for the wonderful Avatar avatar!

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I am not sure what you mean ... sometimes I purchase very rare dice ... just because noone else bids on them ... sometimes they are extras in purchases that I make ... other times people give me duplicates
Also if they are a cool variety of D6, do you buy one, two or five?
If it is a game that just uses plain d6's ... I just use what is in the box ... if it is a game that uses Polys ... I usually dig out my original set of polys from the collection
