Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Cool, I'll send you a pic when I fnd them (that might take a while, as I realize that my old AD&D stuff I got from my father is in North Carolina and I'm in Nebraska).
Also, I asked before, but I think it got lost in the waves of questions; do defective dice count? I have a friend that has several d6's with extra or missing pips on some sides.Last edited by WorthingSon; 2008-01-24 at 09:16 AM.

Re: January 2008 Highlights
You used Bleen, a completely fake number, but not Graham's Number?

Re: January 2008 Highlights
Congrats ... got a pic? ... what size is it?
Krikies ... I didnt even know of Grahams number ...

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Graham's number is noted improbably on wikipedia, its usually a small g. I notice they use a small g in The final section.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Hey Kevin, have you got a die like this one? The pic reminded me of this thread, lol.
If not, it seems to be available for sale. Pretty original idea, I think.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Sorry if this has been answered before but i believe, these aren't intended as D20 but rather as Life-Point-Counters for Magic (the trading card game).
Since the numbers are next to one another you supposedly can easily count them up or down and it's easier to find each number.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I recently played a board game called "Betrayal at the House on the Hill," and it had some rather interesting dice I didn't see on your site (though there are so many, I might have missed them).
They're basically pipped d6s, but they only go up to 2. There are two blank faces for 0, two faces for 1, and two for 2, if I remember correctly. You can kind of see them in this picture.The Playgrounder Formerly Known as rtg0922

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I have a die, it is red with white spots. Is about 6"x6"x6" and the #1 side opens up like a large empty box. I use it to hold my other dice and stuff for DnD. Do you have anything like it and is it worth any money?

Kevin, when does the patent run out on the D4 Wedge die? Any hope we'll see these again?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I think I have something similar
THIS is a music box
I think I paid about $10 for it
As I am not a patent attorney I cant say for certain ... but the patent was issued on 25 November 1997 << interesting ... 20 days after I started with Oracle >> ... I think patents last 15 years ... so there may be a little over 4 years left

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I don't see any pips on those chain dice... How do you read them?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Wow. Where did you get those?
@Chronos: Note the brass rings that are facing up. There's one on the right die, and six on the left, so I presume that they're the "pips".Diamond Mind avatar provided by Abardam.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
First ... we have to define gaming
Gamers define gaming as RPG's ... Wargames etc ... usually played with polyhdral dice (the gaming term not the math term) and there are only a few sets of poly that are <NOT> precise enough for this type of gaming
The casino gambling industry also has there definition of precise enough for table dice games ... In most places it is 1/5000th of an inch tolerance ... this is why the casino dice companies try hold their tolerances to 1/10000th of an inch
