[QUOTE="Gorrstagg, post: 4722666, member: 15863"] You know why it doesn't surprise me. Zeitgeist, for gamers in the know. After seeing the video of General Zocci, and getting a bit past his histrionics of the sale, the simple truth that is being said, ultimately, that any given non-precision dice is not random well, that should bug players. That people are inadvertently rolling eggs in a sense really causes you to pay attention. I now almost only use a dice rolling program to roll my dice, (I DM almost exclusively, as it saves time, and speeds up play.) and let my players use dice rolling programs as well, and it gets more accurate randomness as it were. But this last game day, a couple that was playing in my game each had gamescience dice they had actually bought there at the Source™. And when I mentioned it to them, they went and found me two sets. Mind you they were the Chessex version but say Gamescience™ on them. So I bought a set for one of my players, and gave the other set to a friend to buy that day as well. The point, it was like the shifting of the tide, when we realized we were using, inaccurate dice, well, a door opened, and fair balances rushed in to remind us that's just not cool. I'm just glad to see they have the new dice now, and can't wait for them to become significantly mainstream, and have them kill the other dice. [/QUOTE]
