For $700 the dice should at least roll themselves.  :o

I don't want to get rolled by a hooker.

For $700.00, it ought to be a courtesan who can recite poetry and likes playing boardgames.  :D

^If you haven't watched the Lou Zocchi video in that article you need to. I talked with him at Origins in 2018. He (and his booth) hadn't changed a bit.  :bigthumb:

Well I watched the video and I didn't think I was going to last the course...it's about dice for christ's sake. However - I was enthralled.

I have bought loads of dice tha6t have round edges because I believed they rolled better.

I'm going to have to revamp my dice stock.

No need to change your dice (at least if you are using Chessex, though I suspect other brands are similar):

d20 Dice Randomness Test: Chessex vs GameScience
So Which Dice Are Better?
It’s worth stressing that based on our tests you would need a lot of dice rolls before you saw a meaningful difference in any of these gaming dice — roll a thousand times and maybe you’ll see 5 or 10 less of a given number than you’d expect (or more). So for gaming purposes both dice will work just fine. Seriously.



Now whatever it is that Vassal is doing? That needs to be investigated!  ;D

Okay! Here's a picture of a d20 that was included with some other miscellaneous stuff in a used copy of the Star Trek RPG that I bought from ebay. Any idea what game this d20 goes with (if any)?
What's with the arcs over the numbers?

No, this wasn't actually part of the Star Trek RPG. It was just put in the box with some other stuff not related to the game.
