Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Everyone here has been so great over the years ... I now need a bit of help ID'ing some comic book symbols ... It has been many years since I worked in the comic industry and I just cant recognize these symbols ... all of them seem familiar ... but I just cant place them
Click on the thumbnail to see a larger photo
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
Left to right
Super Skrull
Legion of Superheroes
Hydra
DeadpoolLast edited by Kevin_Cook; 2011-02-19 at 10:09 AM. Reason: HELP Needed

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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?

Re: February 2011 Highlights
The first two look like some variation of Asgard Gifts Elder Futhark dice. Perhaps that would be a good place to start investigating.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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!

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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).

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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.Last edited by Raimun; 2011-04-14 at 03:28 PM.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
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
