Cool!

you could fill an entire theatre with players and play a huge battle

(probably a D20 is not possible is it?)

Yes, I've got some. See the picture on the homepage of my site the Dice Maniacs' Club aka The Random Fandom also posted below...

Wow, thats actually pretty novel.

a d20 would be possible, it would just have to have forty sides in "real life"

It's theoretically possible, but it wouldn't be practical. You couldn't use Arab numerals (i.e. 1,2,3..) because they'd wind up inverted half the time apart from 8 (and 1 depending on the typeface) which is symmetrical about its vertical axis.

You could use spots, but you'd need a pretty big die to fit twenty spots on a face. A die that big wouldn't be easy to roll on an overhead projector. Of course, you could use '+' and '-' with 1 to 10 spots ('+' meaning that you add 10 to the numbers of spots), but it's a bit of a throwback to the days when d20's were numbered 0 to 9 twice!
