Binary dice

[Torchiest]

I was reading Darths & Droids this morning, and came across this comic: http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0049.html

Just on a whim, I decided to google binary dice, but no luck. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? It would be a fun gift idea.

I have a set of four or five 0/1 dice that I picked up from somewhere, and a little bit of heroic tier googling lead me to someone who sells sets of wooden, hand painted, binary d6es: http://www.etsy.com/listing/51670414/binary-dice

Nice find! I had a ridiculous dream of finding a complete set, but I could see how getting all the way up to 20 (10100) would be tricky on those tiny faces.

You could do differently sized d2s, and rank from smallest to largest?

There are these things called coins...

That is Pete though, and I wouldn't be surprised if he'd somehow ordered or made his own unique set of custom binary dice. That's just the crazy sort of stuff he does in the strip.

Yeah, didn't they have to take one of his dice outside to roll it because it wasn't safe to use indoors? (I'm trying to remember what they used it for -- Quigon's death scene perhaps? I recall that it was a huge save-or-die moment.)

Interesting Dice Concept.
