Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I think everyone knows me well enough that I am not a person to try to push a product ... but there is a Kickstarter that I am very interested in seeing be produced ... I am neither the project manager ... nor a shill for the manager ... I just want the dice

Please forgive me for this ... but I would like to point out a Kickstarter project that I am not involved in other than as a backer
The project is already funded ... so no more backers are <needed>
The dice are so amazing I would like everyone to have the opportunity to participate as this is a one woman operation and will likely not be repeated

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
What will happen to your collection when you're gone? Will you pass it on to your children, or do you think it'll be put in a museum or something? Or maybe you can scatter it to the winds and bless many D&D players around the world with your dice.
Also, I remember seeing some kind of show where the guy who invented frisbee or something (memory is fuzzy on who he was exactly) had himself cremated and made into a frisbee. Would you do something like that and become a dice?
Sorry for the morbid questions, it just popped into my head haha

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Not sure if this quite fits the thread or not...
But, do you know anything about why it is three sided dice are so uncommon compared to the standard gaming d4s, 6s, 8s, 10s, 12s, and 20s?
While they can be replicated somewhat by a d6, the same applies to d4s(though being replicated by a d8 or d20 instead).
Did the shape just get developed later?Meow(Steam page)

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
The d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20 were the basic dice in D&D when it was released in 1974 because they are the Platonic solids - the five regular polyhedra composed of regular polygons. These were routinely shown in high school geometry texts.
D10s made at that time were really icosahedra (d20s) marked 0-9 twice.
All other dice, including the d10s, were created later - mostly of the Catalan solids.

THen have it cut into a die

================
I didnt know it was common at all
[/QUOTE]While they can be replicated somewhat by a d6, the same applies to d4s(though being replicated by a d8 or d20 instead).

The D3 shape is a new shape (ie withing the past 15-20 years
=======================
Somewhat true ... there are many shapes of dice (http://www.dicecollector.com/DICEINF...DICE_HAVE.html) and some of them ... not already mentioned ... are long before the 1974 release of D&D
Also ... you are referrring to tetrahedral (d4) ... cubic (d6) ... octahedral (d8) ... dodecahedral (d12) ... and icosahedral (d20) dice ... there are other shapes of these solids that were used for dice ... before this time

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I love that kraken die. I was so disappointed when I looked it up and saw it was way out of my price range. Do you have any other particularly interesting nautical themed dice?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Speaking of the Catalan solids, would there be any interest in 3D printable Catalan solids? I just uploaded the complete set to Thingiverse.
I've also been working on making a set of nonstandard dice (unusual numbers of sides, plus unusual designs for the usual side numbers), but I haven't yet come up with a d20 design I'm happy with.Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.
