Dice Questions?

werk · Apr 29, 2005

So I liked the WURFEL 6-siders on your site and decided I'd try to get some so I could be cool like you!

I go to google and search for WURFEL and dice. Number one result, dicecollector.com

Looks like they might be German but are sold in Japan? Any idea how I could get some?

WÜRFEL is the German word for dice so I am not sure which ones you are referring to

Can you tell me the URL of the picture you are speaking of?

I noticed you don't have the FVLMINATA dice in your roman numerals dice collection - they were sold in sets of 8, each has 8 sides with roman numerals.

I saw them at my FLGS last time I was there... but that was about 8 months ago. I'll drop in and see if he has any more next time I'm in the city.

Cool. Then I shall not go hunting for said dice, as personally I'm hoping they get around to releasing the long-ago promised FVLMINATAd20.

As a footnote, I noticed that your site is hosted by Shannon (BME), who I know from the old days in the body mod scene. I'm now digging through your site to find out how local you are to me, as we go to visit Shannon about annually...
