Buying odd size dice

[Nathal]

What is your favorite online store for odd-sized dice? D16s and such?

 

[Zhaleskra]

What you're getting at by saying "size" I usually refer to by "shape". To me "odd size" means "really small" or "really big".

 

[Nathal]

Right, shape works too. I've seen online stores for unusual polyhedrals, but I wasn't sure if anybody had a favorite source.

For odd dice, Gamescience is the way to go.

I don't buy such dice. I just use a matrix created by two standard polyhedral dice, e.g. a d16 can be emulated by rolling 2d4.

Easy enough, but funny dice are fun!

Yes and no. I will always use percentile dice over an actual d100. Two reasons: they take forever to stop, and even when they do, it's hard to tell what number is actually on top.

 

[Nathal]

Very good point about percentile dice, although the d100 might work well with a sling shot.

Golf. They already look like golf balls, though I imagine the outer clear plastic cracking on the first hit.

I order mine online from the Dice Shop, although I usually wait until there are a few I want. I've picked up a d14, d16, d18, d22 and d24 which I've considered using for high-powered Savage Worlds characters, and some nice fudge dice which I also use for Savage Worlds. I also bought a d3, d5 and d7, which I've found absolutely no use for, a weather die which I've used once, a virtues and sins die which I use for NPC motivations, and a hit location die which I use for exceptional attacks (2+ raises) and killing blows.
