D&D 5E Testing Dice?

[Stoutstien]

I remember in middle school learning about the stained glass windows in the medieval cathedrals having to get turned over because the glass flowed and the sections are thinner at the top aver the years. This caused me to place all my d20s so that the 20 was on top thinking that the plastic would flow faster than the old glass. I do not think it helped in the rolling though.

Today, I have a few sets that get put into quarantine when they are not rolling right. They need to think about what they did to my poor PC. Similar to some of my golf clubs who need a break after they caused me to hit a bad shot. Things like this cannot possibly be user error.

That is a common belief is completely false. the discrepancies of thickness is the glass panels hade everythingto do with the manufacturing processes at the time. If you look at all the glass manufactured around the same time you'll find equal amounts that have thicker middles and bottoms.

The urban legend of running glass originated because all the stained glass of a few very famous cathedrals were all manufactured by the same factory so they had similar flaws. the people who are in charge of installing the glass you're going to realize that the thicker part is more structurally sound on the bottom so they put it in that way.

That's why you can't settle for those crummy substandard plastic or resin dice that you can buy at your FLGS. No sirree! You need to by lovingly hand-crafted, scientifically-tested precision dice, engineered to near perfection, available for the bargain of $100 for a set of 7.

At least that's what the folks over at a certain wormlike wood keep telling me in online ads.

Hey, Gravity Dice currently have their set on sale for the low, low price of $95, including the case! Every pip mathematically calculated and precision drilled!

Of course, bad d4s never get tossed.

They get used as caltrops.

Rotten Jasper, "OUR dice are never bad! They have just been abused by their foster parents!"

I remember the Munchkin Monster Manual had the Gelatinous Octahedron, which was marginally smarter than the Cube and had a vague desire to appear on a talk show. There was also a line about a gelatinous icosahedron which was plotting a system to absorb the world (this was during the d20 era).

They had joke monsters like the gothyanki, floating nose, maul rat, grassy gnoll, stoned golem, and the like.
