Favourite non-standard polyhedral

Semi-serious - I really do want to know what strange dice you use or want to use.

I have literally just ordered a set of game science dice which has a d3, d5, d24 and a couple of others I think (d2?

), so I am looking forward to shoe horning them into my game somewhere!

This was meant to have a poll with it, but something went wrong :erm:

. Anyone know how I can add poll after the 10 minute interval?

FYI, here were my intended options

d2 - coin flips and binary lots are the only true randomisers
d3 - modest and acceptable in all major RPGS
d12 (rhombic dodecahedron) - the only way to play Cthulhu
d24 - 'cause I know what an Archimedian Dual is
d30 - it's just waiting for its chance for the big time
d1,000 - 'cause I like big tables
d10,000 - 'cause I like really big tables
other - if they make it, I'll roll it

Haha big tables FTW, there are heaps of weird dice out there.

My set has a d14 and d16 as well

OH, BTW< sometimes the poll takes some time to come up.

I have a d14, d16, several d24s and a d30, and two d7s. I also have a 20-sided d10 which I'm quite fond of. I use most of them every once in awhile, just for funsies.

I've actually used a d7, d14 and d30. Oh, as well as the crazy ol' d100. But that was ages ago.

I wouldn't mind owning several more, however.

I don't have many non-standard die. I have a few D30s I bought in a warehouse-sized game store in San Francisco and a d100, as well as some unusual versions of standard die.

Of them, my personal favorite is my d100.

Its light enough to throw at people who are being disruptive.

I can rattle it like a snake to show my annoyance as DM.

Oh yeah- I can roll it like a d100!

Every game we roll a d34 to see what our random Medusapussy song of the night is.

No, I'm not kidding. The d34 actually belongs to a friend I haven't seen in ages, but I still intend to- someday- return it to him...
