Gamescience dice are very much worth it.

[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6019554, member: 32740"] Beauty is in the eye of the beholder before he uses the disintegrate on you. If I see Pepto-bismol pink swirly dice I know girls who will ooh and ah over them. "Vomitization!" says you and I, of course. I remember buying the first "crystal" dice where you could SEE the bubbles inside. I also remember inking those d20's carefully to take every advantage of that bubble. I eventually threw them all away because not only I but everyone at the table found them unreadable. Ah, those were the days. I had a DM long ago who took a freaking FILE to the corners and edges of his d20's with the specific intent of making them roll higher more often. I don't think it really helped him much. These days I personally prefer nicely polished dice sets in solid, primary colors. Readability has come to be a significant factor to my aging eyes. But, if I feel like I'm rolling too low too often I grab a different set and it doesn't matter what color. If that set rolls low I grab another and another... Most players I know or have ever met would, I'm sure, say that dice are a fashion statement, not a tool of greater accuracy in random number generation. [/QUOTE]
