As this is undoubtedly a genuine artifact that belonged/will belong to our favorite webmaster, Morrus, I think we should pony up the cash to buy it and enshrine it at GenCon, as a reminder of the time our lord savior Russell Morrissey traveled through time to determine exactly how much a chicken should cost in the Arms & Equipment Guide. We raised $20,000 for the site already; let's raise $4000 more!

[font=Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif]Lot Notes[/font]Several polyhedra in various materials with similar symbols are known from the Roman period. Modern scholarship has not yet established the game for which these dice were used.



PHHT! D&D of course!
See! Gaming is not just a game, its a society! We've survived tens of thousands of years against perseuction and injustice! Just like the jews!

Well, I think that the basic rules are hidden in a few texts. I could reveal the texts and the decrypting code, but it might be hazardous to your health.

My god. This must be the tenth time I've seen something like this. First, about a half-dozen threads here. Over at WotC. The PVP comic.

It is hella-cool but come on, somebody just buy it already and get it off the web.

For the record, I think I posted first. Everyone else is just a copycat.

Holy frickin' Cow!

I love history, Archeology and such, goes to show you that things have not really changed that much.

Since there are numerous multiple threads on this topic, I'm going to go ahead and close this one, and post the link to the largest one...
