I am interested in the physics behind why you think small dice are somehow less accurate.

Smaller dice don't roll as far as bigger dice. Observe closely and you'll see. It really is as simple as that.

(shrugs) I can live with that as an explanation of why my little grey d20 has seemed to roll higher over the years.
Or at least the people I game with can (they don't seem to believe me that my die is trained).

Of course none of my dice are being rolled outside of about a 9" area, & none of them seem to have any trouble crossing that entire distance....

But do you have some evidence or statistics to back up your claim?

No *G* But he's saving us a lot of work. Not sure how he's doing that, but since he says is he it must be true.

Just spend 25 on a Gravity Dice d20. These are machined metal dice and are beautiful. Can't justify the >100 for a whole set, and $25 is kinda crazy for a d20, but I'll splurge on one real nice die. At least my players can't argue that I'm playing with an unfairly cocked die.
