It wouldn't be that hard. A pentagonal prism. Roll it like one of those 'crystal' dice.

Sounds quite pretty actually!

 

[Crothian]

I think it could work well.

I think it could work well.

We should do a Blue Peter style mock-up out of yoghurt pots and sticky-back plastic.

Or you could just do the sensible thing - create a blank d10 and paint all the numbers on it twice.

 

[Crothian]

That's too easy. How about a d20 with the numbers 1-5 on there 4 times? Or a d30 with them on there 6 times? Or a d100 with them oin there 20 times? Or is that just really silly?

 

[arwink]

That's just being silly.

Everyone knows d100's are about as useful as a golfball. They don't roll numbers, they just roll...

 

[Crothian]

Actually my d30 rolls more then my d100.

 

[arwink]

My first d30 was defective and crushed on one corner, so it effectively only rolled 28 numbers with any reliability.

I actually got a lot more use out of it that way

My d100 didn't last long as a gaming accessory. It once rolled the entire way along a 6' long table, after which I swapped back to 2d10.

On the topic of weird dice , I have seen a d4 rolled that landed on its point (the tips on the pyramid were slightly flatter than normal). That freaked us all out a bit.

 

[Crothian]

I'd have taken a picture of the d4. I have d4's and d10 that have small flat sides that it could land on, but I've never seen it done. Heck, it's hard to purposely balance it that way.
