Do you own a set of "crystal" dice?

[Kevin Cook]

My fiance got them for me as an engagement present, off of Ebay, I believe. The seller claimed to be the only person to have a set of the meteorite dice, the dinosaur fossil dice and the wooley mammoth dice. They came in a nice class case complete with the certificate of authenticity from Crystal Caste.

Oh yeah, I'm keeping her!

LOL ... good idea

Actually, I just bought a set yesterday. The d20 sucks big time - you kind of have to roll it against something just so it will stop some time. It also seems to roll certain numbers more often, but since I didn't make many d20 rolls last night (we were playing a BRP derivative game, so we used d100s most of the time) I can't really claim it's biased (it did seem to roll 19 a lot, so I might use it anyway ).

The other dice in the set are neat, however.

Did anybody else wish to weigh in on this poll?

Also, does anyone know the *exact* date these dice were released? Thanks!

Ok ... here is the scoop ... direct from the man himself

GenCon August 6th 1998

Also the first run was of d10's numbered 1-10 rather than 0-9 in basic pearl colors.
