Dice Questions?

Your roman d20 doesn't seem to have underlines or dots or whatever- how do you tell the difference between a IX and an XI?

Just like on any other d20 ... the base of the triangle is the base of the number

I originally did underlines but it kinda detracted from the look of the die

I am very proud of the fact that in 20 years of gaming, I have every dice I've ever bought or found, with the exception of the ones I've traded for other sets...and the ONE I've lost. It's driving me nuts not having a complete set. I need an old school GemClear razor edge d6, a pale, yellow green. If I can get a digital camera, I'll post a pic of the set.

Do you have the short lived Magic the Gathering d10 Set?
2 d10 for each color with the mana symbol for the 10 spot.
I will try to get a picture to you.

I also have a d10 Green Mana prototype dice.
The company was forced to remove them from the market.

Do you know why, Wystan? Was it lead based plastic or copyright problems or something?

Most likely it was copywright issues
