Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Well ... it depends on what an entire set means ...
1) I assume we are talking about numbered d6's vs things like Poker Dice
2) Quantity in a set varies wildly
* A set of Craps dice is a pair
* A set of Yahtzee dice is 5
* A set of Warhammer Bombardment dice is 125

When it comes to GM'ing RPG's ... I personally have not seen much use for more than 5

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
It sounds like he found a 36 pack of d6 (or something similar). While this isn't typically needed for D&D (unless you do a lot of high-level spellcasting which deals large amounts of d6 damage, and you don't want to reroll), there are other games which require fairly large numbers of d6, such as Warhammer, Champions, or Shadowrun.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I'm kind of new to D&D and I was looking around for dice when I noticed various sets of d6s being sold. This may sound like a stupid question but why would someone need an entire set of d6?
In Hero Systems, the damage of a hit is measured in numbers of d6 rolled. Super-strong heroes routinely hit for 10d6 to 15d6. A hero might add to this with his velocity / 5 in hit dice.
In one special situation, with every kind of bonus available, I once saw a Superman-like hero roll a hit for 44d6 damage.
Besides, what does "need" have to do with it? I don't even "need" to play games at all. I've never "needed" my d1, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, d30, d48, d60, or d120, or many of my weird dice.
I like the toys.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I don't know if this was ever added. The game Formula D uses a d30 I believe. It is not numbered 1 -30 but rather something like 24-30 with each number appearing more than once. Maybe 22-28, not sure but something like that.
I finally found a place that is not sold out of d5 and d7 and d50. Now any ideas where I could get things like a d11, d13, any of the other odder numbered dice? I don't want a huge collection but think it would be great to have 1 of each die.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Try Shapeways for unusual dice. They have several versions of a d13; you can search for others on your own
Make up your mind. There's a lot more types of dice out there than you think.Last edited by Jay R; 2013-10-19 at 11:18 AM.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Thanks Jay R ... Shapeways was going to be one of my suggestions
As to the dice you are seeking ... you will first need to choose a shape and style ...
This link might help ...
http://www.dicecollector.com/DICEINF...DICE_HAVE.html
Once you have chosen the die that you want ... you can contact the manufacturer / artist (in the case of Shapeways) and make your purchase

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
So do you have any plans to put these on display? Like jewel cases, with labels or museum like display?
I only ask because he seems like there is almost no limit to the complete number of dice out there :DPath of the Nefarious: A Way of the Wicked Journal.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
That is what DiceCollector.com is for :)
It really is not feasible to display them with any sense of order ... as they can be divided so many different ways

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Anyone ever tried baking their dice? I attempted it once after a shaman cursed a party member with bad luck. I thought I could bake some dice in the oven to have a high percentage of rolling ones. My first attempt simply melted the dice. My second attempt didn't melt them, but I also couldn't really gauge their probability either. The game actually ended before I could try them out with the player and now they just sit on a shelf.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
No plans to start my own ... but I am backing / have backed a LOT (over 70)
I have not .. but I did do a test to try to confirm / debunk a rumor that if you microwave a die (a d20) with the desired value facing upward ... it will roll that value more often ... I first tried 5 min ... and the die was not even warm ... I then tried 20 minutes ... with the same result ... I knew before hand that unless there was water in the die ... it would not be effected by microwaves ... needless to say .. it did not effect the rolling

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I noticed that since the last time I checked (several months ago), there seems to be a new brand of metal dice on the market. Does anyone know anything about these new ones, like who manufactures them? How do they compare to the Crystal Caste ones, specifically the 16mm polyhedral sets?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I believe you are speaking of Metal Dice Games ... they are comparable to Foam Brain Games dice .. which were the original and now it seems the Chinese manufacturer will sell to anyone ... so MDG seems to be a spinoff of FBG
