Got any Dice Questions?

[Jay R]

My websearch skills not so good....
Where can one purchase d12 dice with three sets of 1-2-3-4? (Because d4 not fun to roll IMO)

Here are the triplefours from doublesix dice.

Related question--on one or more of the dice sites I saw "crystal" shaped dice. Instead of tetrahedron the d4 was more or less a rectangular box. I'd like to know if these roll well.
Thanks

As I have not used the CRYSTAL CASTE ... crystal dice ... in game ... I cannot say for certain ... can anybody assist with this question?

They roll fine - if you roll them in the right direction.

Most of those are Koplow Games dice ... mostly for education ... the upper left die is one of the spelling games ... Scribbage etc ... hope this helps

Thanks. Scribbage dice generally have different letters on the various faces though, don't they? Mine has Xº, X¹, and X² on its different sides.

Yep ... that is why I said Like Scribbage ... there are MANY letter games that those could belong to

I did not read this full thread so I apologize if this was asked already. My question to you is do you have any three-sided hematite dice? If so where did you get it from?

[ComaVision]

Hey Kevin.

I think there's a mistake in your database. It currently says you have one 43-sided dice and no 45-sided dice but the picture of the "43-sided dice" shows that it goes up to 45.

Just out of curiosity, did you go to check his database because you saw the thread on the d33 and d44 weapon?

No ... sorry ... I do not ... nor do I know where to find one :(

Can you tell me exactly where you are referring?

I found this photo http://dicecollector.com/images/larg...4361377eb8.jpg ... labeled as D90 ... and it is really a d43 ... sort of

What would you say is the 'weirdest' die you own?

Do you have any dice that would normally be multiple dice? (i.e. a 16 sided die with sides that models the outcome of 2d4, for example (2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8) )

Do percentile dice count as one die or two?

What percentage of your collection do you think you have actually used ('used' defined as rolled in a situation where the outcome caused some kind of change; not necessarily in a game; if you rolled a die to decide what to have for lunch, that counts)?

Does your collection have any loaded dice (obviously only for collecting purposes)?

What does it take for a randomizer to qualify as a die?

Have you made up any games specifically to use your more esoteric dice?

Do you have dice-shaped icecube molds, and if so, do you have to freeze a new set of dice before Guinness confirms with you?

That's pretty much all I've got... thanks in advance!

I really don't consider any die to be wierd :)

Yes ... several ... a number of years ago I designed the first (I think) 36 sided die that simulates 2d6

Do percentile dice count as one die or two?

It depends on how many dice your are rolling ... if you roll 2 dice then it is two dice ... if you are rolling 1 die (a d100 for example) ... then it is one die

What percentage of your collection do you think you have actually used ('used' defined as rolled in a situation where the outcome caused some kind of change; not necessarily in a game; if you rolled a die to decide what to have for lunch, that counts)?

A good bit less than 1%

Does your collection have any loaded dice (obviously only for collecting purposes)?

Yes

No

Yes ... No ... the molds are just a novelty ... I do not count ice dice as part of the collection

Just out of curiosity, did you go to check his database because you saw the thread on the d33 and d44 weapon?

Specifically, I've looked it up twice in his database before over conversations about a weapon dealing 1d43 damage (typo) in Sandstorm (D&D 3.5e).

Can you tell me exactly where you are referring?

I found this photo http://dicecollector.com/images/larg...4361377eb8.jpg ... labeled as D90 ... and it is really a d43 ... sort of

Ah, that's the source of my confusion. I was looking up the d43 in the database and when I went into the month it was in, I assumed there was some entry error with the d45. I didn't even think to look at the pictures labeled d90.

Of course not ... that was my mistake ... sorry

Hi Kevin,

Are you still designing new dice?
Have you ever physically made your own dice?

[Kevin_Cook]

Hi Kevin,

Are you still designing new dice?

Not often anymore ... too much time needed for my real job

Have you ever physically made your own dice?

yes

[rakkoon]

Good answer 😀. I got some friends that are blacksmiths and they made me some. Made a solid silver one myself and some paper ones. NOT at your level of paper ones.

[RedMage125]

Couldn't read through all of it, but I like what you've got going here, Kevin. My enthusiasm for dice does not come near yours, but I dig your collection.

Also, I noted that you just recently added a dTOTAL to your collection, nice. My buddy got me one of those a few years back. Then last xmas he got me a full set of (very small) polyhedral dice made of actual malachite. I don't want to chip them, so they're more of a conversation piece (my wife then bought me a set of CHESSEX dice with the "malachite" color scheme because she thought it was a shame I couldn't use the stone ones, lol).

Also saw that someone asked about an ice mold. I know awhile back there was a d20 ice mold in LootCrate. If you missed out on that, someone might be selling it on ebay (I'm not selling mine, tho ).

I have two ... one from Think Geek ... the other from LootCrate
