d17, d18 and d19 - for real

Fellow alealogists (dice enthusiasts) might be interested in seeing a pic of three fair dice I recently added to my collection: a d17, d18 and d19.

The d17 and d19 were co-invented by Jason Huff and myself, and expertly made by Jason. The d18 was also made by him.

I now have a set of fair dice from d2 to d20. I'm such a geek!

Do they come in hollow point?

(Zander gave me a blue, baseball-sized d20 as a gift in New York City a few years ago and it still sits prominently on my desk.)

A high caliber hollow point d6 is what every war gamer needs.

Hello, Crothian,

I'm not sure whether Jason is OK with me revealing how much he charged me so I'm afraid I can't answer. Apologies about that.

All I can say is that they weren't cheap but they weren't outrageously expensive either.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I'm afraid to get one as I'm afraid the shell casing will explode on me or something. Those things look.....volatile.

Load theem into a shotgun; they seem perfect for taking down those pesky werewolves.

I like 'em but I don't trust those pyramid-ended prism dice. I even don't like the d10....

Look liek a nice project though
