Who produced the study that revealed dark dice roll faster and are more likely to land big number up? I remember the explanation involved the physics of heat absorption and how it favored dice faces with greater surface area (i.e. more pips or more digits carved into the side).

Darned if I can remember enough key terms/phrases to look it up on Google, though.

LOL ... I had never heard that ... if anyone has a link ... please let me know so I can include it in my links section

Where could I get a D120?

How much do you think are dice that get thrown into bodies of water when they roll badly, eventually finding their way into the oceans, contribute to the raise of the Mean Sea Level in the last 30 years?

Seriously: How many dice are in that collection now?

They are not for sale and have to be hand made ... I only know of 2 in existence

No clue ... All I know is that I have never contributed to the 'Davy Jones' Locker Dice Collection'

standard dice are how big?

I see 30mm dice and 55 mm dice, and little bitty dice, but, for comparisons sake, what is the standard size for RPG dice, say, those found in the D&D adventure game or most FLGS?

A standard polyhedral set of dice has no one size as the shapes demand different sizes

Traditionally the size of a poly set is measured by the face to face measurement of the D20 ... in which case 16mm is the standard size

Awesome. Thank you. This is exactly what I needed.
