It says they don't know what the game was - we ought to call them up - it is a d20, so OBVIOUSLY it is for D&D.

Speaking of ultimate dice - I had a friend who had a HUGE dice bag with all sorts of dice from all over - he'd just dump it all out and grab a die when he needed one. He had no particular attachment to any of them.

In there there was a metal six-sided die about the size of a coffee mug. He called it the "equalizer" - something you could throw at the DM for a roll if things were getting, er, unequal.
