What dice would you like to see made?

First Post
With the "Auroragyps Lamp Project" going well, I've been thinking alot about dice and what new styles and colors I'd like to come out. Like, the old Game Science ones came in such a wide variety of colors... I'd love to see more colors like those. They really looked like pale shaded jewels. I'd also like to see better transparent purples. The ones out now are such a bright, grape juicey color.. I'd like dusty lavenders, pale violets, and deep plums. Transparent olive green and some decent shades of brown would be good too (just what ya need for your druid or ranger). Actually, a line of transparent colors that are duller than what's out now would be cool: ochre oranges and yellows, rusty reds, slate blues, and grayish greens.
I'm hoping that Chessex does another run of the Nebula dice... I'm still kicking myself for not getting a set of Copper. Actually, I mentioned on their board once that gold, silver, & other metallics would make for great Nebula dice.
That's all I can think of right now, but I know I have more ideas on my Dice Wish List.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only dice addict here... :D

Style-wise, I wouldn't mind seeing some dice that were a little heavier than the current designs. Not something as drastic as stones or anything but just something with a little more weight to it.

I also second the call for a reproduction of Nebula dice, I only have the flame ones (which are quite cool). I'd also like to see some dice like what Crystal Caste has for the d20's that come with their Oriental figurines set (made by M-4 I think). They have symbols instead of ones. It would be cool to have other dice in the same vein. Maybe something to the effect of: Roman Numerals, Egyptian glyphs, and other historical numbering symbols. :)

In the same real-world vein, it would be kinda neat to have flags that were made into dice. Well, the ones that would translate easily I mean.

Also, sets that weren't the same color but bled into each other in order: like the d20 > d12 > d% > d10 > d8 > d6 > d4. Each die would have some of the color of the die that came before it. Could look very cool with the right combos. Take for example: red > purple > violet > blue.

Crazy? Yes.

But it's late so I shall digress. :)
 





Bone Dice. They'd be expensive, but worth it for those ... less savory rolls.

Oh, how nice it would be to have a d20 carved from the skull of a goat. Everyone would know that there's a Necromancer somewhere on the encounter sheet.
