October 2005 Update
If you are not interested in new or rare dice that were inventoried this month ... Ignore this post
Here are the highlights of the dice added in OCTOBER 2005
DICE OF PARTICULAR NOTE:
========================
THIS SET is probably the oldest set of plastic d20's ever made
THIS ARTICLE (Page 9) states
"This can be demonstrated with random combinations of the variables R, Y & B
in Table 1.1. These single-digit numbers in the range 0-9 were generated
by throwing twenty-faced icosahedron coloured dice (red, yellow and blue)
with the numbers zero to nine engraved twice on each die. The dice were
invented in the 1950/60 period by Mr Yasushi ISHIDA and patented by Tokyo-
Shibaura Electric Company. They were marketed and distributed by the
Japanese Standards Association for demonstrating the principles of
statistical quality control."
A new company ... Cave Badger is hand making custom d20's
... I will have more by next months update and will have a page devoted to their dice
THESE DICE by Bear Cub Machine are the smallest metal dice I have ever seen
... They are in the process of making dice about 1/2 this size ... and will be able to make the claim of having made the worlds smallest dice
New Mage the Awakenening Dice from White Wolf were released this month
