what is the purpose of making blank dice?
I was in an RPG store in Tokyo once and one of the shop assistants was using a permanent overhead projector marker to draw manga characters onto each face of a blank d6. I don't know why you would want to roll different manga characters but he was clearly artistically talented and the dice looked very cool. :cool:

Gamescience dice are old school ...
And still the best. I love the "+" d20s.

I bought a couple sets from Zocchi at GenCon last year, even though I don't need them. Just glad to see the man keep on keepin' on.

I picked up some +d20s off of ebay which I think are factory seconds. The look like they were supposed to be clear gem dice, but are cloudy/swirled. Still roll well, and are actually easier to read than the crystal clear ones.

I have long felt that Gamescience has the highest quality dice and that they come closes to being true precision dice (ie Casino Dice)

plus i like my d20s with 0-9 twice.

On Necromancer boards, we talk about dice a bit. Advancing Hordes, one of the few places to get the old Gamescience Dice, is pretty good.

Another company is mentioned, Q something and man, they have some fanastic dice but like $20 a shot.

I prefer Gamestation

1) They are a US company and shipping is quicker than AH in canada

2) They are the authorized Gamescience dealer on the web ... just goto GAMESCIENCE.COM and see

Then again ... I buy direct from Louis Zocchi (owner of Gamescience)

Q-WORKSHOP

They are a company in Poland ... The dice are nice but their mold is not the best so some of the dice are not symetric ... they wobble when you spin them

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.

Random? Yes, it could.

Now, whether the results are evenly distributed is another matter entirely. ...
