As always ... If you have any dice questions ... post them to this thread and I will try to answer them for you

Okay, here's one for you.
My wife used to have a PEACH set of dice, they were orignally made by The Armory which was bought ouot by Chessex a few years back. Chessex no longer supports the dice sets made by The Armory (at least not all of them) and my wife's set was lost in an intercontinental move a few years back.

So the question is - where can you find peach translucent polyhedrals?

Chessex's website still lists the Armory six-sided race and class dice. Do you know if Chessex is discontinuing those in favor of the new 12-siders?

Nice to see alignment dice back. I'd been looking for a pair.
I dont see the Armory dice on Chessex's website ... Can you give me the URL you found them on?

I dont know if Chessex is going to discontinue that line or not ... But I can ask

I admit that that's pretty slick. I'd never heard of a 7-sided die, but I have to believe that based on the fact that at least 2 of the sides aren't the same shape as the other sides, that it could never really roll randomly.

From what I understand, the sides are of different sizes (surface area) as well as shape so that the distribution is maximized.

you aren't crazy unless you did like i did and bought the st00pid Dragon Dice

It's only crazy if you're the only one in your town who both them, and was happy to find them on sale, and both more, (like I did)

Firstly I am agog at the wonderousness of your collection!

Secondly - what is the highest number of faces on a die that you have come across? I have the obligatory d100, but somehow I'd imagine that there must be some more impressive ones out there...
