What dice would you like to see made?

Some steel or aluminium dice would be cool

I've got a set of 4 aluminium d6...
They're cool.
They don't always create the best
characters, but they create the coolest.

Dice made from human bones.

I really need to plug my site. It addresses many of the questions posted so far. It is the largest community for dice collectors on the web and has more dice pics than anywhere else online as well.
The link is: The Dice Maniacs' Club aka The Random Fandom

I'll try to answer as many questions as I can and will post the replies below...

Have you seen those d6's with another d6 inside?

Yes, I've got them in all the sizes and colours they come in. I used one at UK GenCon and the other players were impressed.

I think there's a pic of them among Kevin Cook's pictures on my dice site (see link above).

I wanna see Dwarven Stones in full-sized dice, darnit...

Crystal Caste, the company that makes the Dwarven Stones, now does full-sized ones in haematite.

I've wanted the following for years...

d14...d16...d18

Gamescience makes d16's. There are pics of some at my dice site in Alexander's album as well as Kevin Cook's (see link above).

There are two d14's. One as part of a game called CardDice and the other is a Chinese die. There are pics of these in Kevin Cook's album at my dice site.

Gamescience distributed d18's. These were blank irregular polyhedra you were supposed to number yourself. IIRC there's a pic of in Kevin Cook's album at my dice site. Personally, I don't think much of the d18.

I wanna see d2's and d3's made. And yes, it can be done

I've got 4 different d2's, and I don't just mean coins or dice numbered 1,2 multiple times (such as a d4 numbered 1,1,2,2). One is plastic, two are metal and one is wood. I picked up the wooden one and one of the metal ones at UK GenCon. They're shaped like coins but have a '1' on one side and a '2' on the other. I don't have the URL's for the companies that make them to hand, but I could post them if you're interested. Just say the word.

There's a patent for a d3 with 3 sides. Each face is curved and shaped like an eye. AFAIK it's never been produced commercially.

I want edible candy dice.

They exist. Please see Kevin Cook's pictures at my dice site (link above).

Well at Gencon 2001 I bought my wife one 8-sided d4 (1-4 twice)
and she liked it much better than the normal caltrop

So I have been looking for some ever since and it is like they don't exist.

So 8-sided d4s

As you know, they do exist. I've got 3 of them. They were distributed by Gamescience. Lou Zocchi who runs Gamescience might have some left. His telephone number is 228 392 4177. If you call him, please tell him that "Alexander the British dice collector" put you in touch.

Big Honkin' d20s

I want an Epic d20, folks . . . sure, they sell those d20s that are between an inch and an inch and a half wide, but I want a BIG d20. Something you save for the campaign-concluding climactic combats.

A bowling-ball sized d20 would be nice . . . I'd settle for one the size of an orange, though. Anyone ever see such a thing (that could actually be used)?
