    A few weeks ago, I spotted a cool sort of die in Greenpoint, Brooklyn - it's a big wooden d6 that opens up like a box and inside are 6 smaller wooden d6es. The big d6 is around the size of a fist, maybe a bit larger, so I'm not sure if it qualifies as as die for the purposes of your collection.

    I could have sworn I took a photo, but I can't find it now. If this sounds like something you'd like to add to your collection, I can see about finding it again.

    I have seen them ... the outer box does not count ... but the dice inside ... might

    I have a similar music box

    When Playing RPGs, do you have a certain set you always use, or do you use a new one each time?

    While is quite ironic considering your collection.

    Also, while I have no idea what a rewarder page was, it now just says it is no longer owned by godaddy.com.

    I have the same problem. So I stopped using glitter, or heavily decorated, or translucent dice, and use jumbo-sized dice with good contrast - white numerals on dark purple, or black numerals on white.

    My wife bought a loose d8 at a gaming store that has closed down, and I am trying to identify it so we can the rest of the set. It's a translucent teal with gold numbers and came by itself in a clear plastic clamshell package that unfortunately got thrown out. We think the company name had "Games" somewhere in it and that it is not Chessex. I know it's not Chessex borealis because that has sparkles while this d8 is just translucent.

    It won't let me post a direct image link here, so to see a picture search for "Can someone help me identify this d8?" on Reddit or go to imgur.com[slash]s3lEQO6. Thanks!

    Without a picture it will be very hard to identify

    Have you tried my database ...and then looked at the pictures that match your search criteria?

    GameScience makes them, though they're a tad expensive (and difficult to locate on the company's new website). They have them in tiny dice ("microhedra") and normal-sized dice.

    EDIT: Link. GameScience site, D20s.

    Are the dice from precision games actually more balanced than regular pip dice? I don't understand how they could have a similar amount removed from each side when the shapes are so different.

    Sorry, I meant Precision Gaming Solutions (as in the people who made that dice you had just posted, I just misremembered the name somehow despite it being on this page). I looked at the kickstarter and one of the claims was that the dice were better balanced and I was curious how that was possible with what looks like such large grooves and differences in sides.

    No worries ... I wish I could comment on the PGS dice as far as balance is concerned ... the metal dice will not work in the salt water test

    I suppose I should break down and buy a dice caliper :)
