This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Ian AbsentiaThese aren't really what you were asking for, but check out these funky d6s in deep blue:

I have those (same colors, too). They don't roll great, but they're ok conversation pieces.

I had wondered about that.  Rather the same problem with the tetrahedronal d4s.  I imagine the d10 or the d20 versions roll better, though you'd have to roll them like little logs.

!i!

I really like those d4s...but I don't own any.

Quote from: Divine HammerNo, only my use of REAL MAGIC learned from years of playing D&D keeps me out of jail.  Thank Satan for the Mind Bondage spell.

WHAT?! Satan taught you the "mind bondage" spell?! I've been trying to get that rotten sunuvabitch to teach me the "beautiful babe bondage" spell for years!

They have other numerical scales, too (d4, d8, d10, etc.).  No black, though.  Dicepool.com has a pretty incredible selection.

!i!

Aren't those mode out of stone or something?

Quote from: Dr Rotwang!Go plastic -- obsidian might be brittle.  It's effectively volcanic glass!

Then tell me where you got them.  :naughty:

Uh, yeah, I meant plastic that looked like black glass.....

Quote from: joewolzI've seen these before...they're around, check the dice booths at cons, they're usually there.
I've seen 'em with 1 small die in them, not two, but I'll ask around.

Not those, though there are some stone dice for sale out there.

The d10's are ok, but the d20's are somewhat difficult to distinguish the proper number (a bit like the old d100 die) because the numbers are set too close together.

They're plastic, just like all my other dice.

Ok, the thing is I just know someone is making dice out of stone again.

My god, didn't people learn anything form the late 70's/early 80's when dice were made of glass?

A cube; each face is a display, inside are electronics. One could program the electronics via tapping on certain faces in certain patterns to produce random results in most any number range. (Though one billion d one billion might be going a tad too far.)

Considering that one of my players shattered a plastic die last sunday, I don't want to be around when the obsidian shards come a-flying.
