Dice
Anybody know of a place where you can get specialize or personalized dice made? or a good place with a large catalog? The few places I found on google gave me nada.

I suspect it's for when he wants to roll a d26 :P

Re: Dice
Lol...yeah. :)
See, a 4d26 gaming system would be a perfect bell curve, kinda...
Instead of the way it is with a d20 where you have the same chances of rolling each number on the die.

Hope that makes sense...

Random letter determination (in english) is all I can see that is obvious.

Re: Dice
no, he's saying not all the faces would be the same size, thus changing the outcomes from being the standard 1/n (n being sides) to some other ratio, based on the size of the faces.

Lou Zocchi is (relatively) famous for his odd numbered precision dice.

He's got 5-siders, 7-siders, 24-siders, and more...

Re: Dice

Re: Dice
I've read something like 85% of all standard dice are flawed, or off in one way or another.

If only they had the same standards as dice makers that make casino dice.

Re: Dice
If you're that concerned with dice flaws, you could play a system (or modify your current system to one) that uses only d6, and use casino dice.

Fantasy Hero, which, unmodified, isnt the best for swords and sorcery, IMO, used only d6, for example.

Re: Dice
Shadowrun is all d6 as well.

In general I find that using 2 or 3 different dice works just as well, so that you won't get long chains of numbers.

For instance I have 3 d20's, 3 d4's, etc etc.

Or you can be my best friend who will almost always roll a 1, unless 1 is the DESIRED number, regardless of whose dice he rolls with - though, those we game with now make him stay away from their dice, because he tends to curse them. ;)

Re: Dice
Picked up some set of three loaded d6's once just for fun. The obvious kind, if you look at the 1 instead of the normal wood side you instead see a lead sinker with a dot in the middle of it. Not attempt whatsoever to hide it and its obvious when you roll them or even pick them up.

Anyway, buddy of mine has the bad luck of a cursed leprechaun. He rolled a three twice in a row. (All three heavy loaded dice rolled 1's) We dont let him play with our dice anymore.

Oddly though, once I forgot my dice and had to borrow his. His dice seem to roll high very often in the hands of anyone but him.

Re: Dice
i tend to fail DC 15s. no matter what.

will save of +8 and i could still blow a DC of 15.

also, i can curse other peoples dice by just looking at the mand saying "your dice are now cursed" or by touching what ever they are rolling them on and saying 'cursed'

fun to do a 'voice radius curse DM dice'

I can only influence die rolls that are being rolled against me, I cannot influence my own die rolls. Sucks, eh? ;)

Re: Dice
as far as dice go, when I go to buy em', I will pick up 4 or 5 and roll them 5 times each, take away the one with the lowest consecutive rolls, and repeat until I am left with the winner...

I have a HUGE d20, size of a teen's balled fist. It is very not-standard, (low numbers on one side, and numbers spiral up the dice in consecutive sequence. I almost always roll high with it.
