Any dice with the pips replaced with tiny Keanu Reeves heads.

"Bill and Ted" Keanu, or "Matrix" Keanu?

The zocchihedron. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zocchihedron)

Never worry about which d10 is the 10s and which is the 1s again.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you mean in person.

With my own eyes one of my players ordered what I suspect to be solid bronze dice, based on how heavy they feel. I have no idea where she got them or how much she paid.

Without knowing the exact kind of dice (let's assume they're about 19mm, the size of casino dice) your player's dice would each weigh about 5.5 ounces each if they were solid bronze. if that sounds about right, since I assume you've hefted them, they probably were. if so, assuming they're normally sized, each one probably cost about $15, but like anything, they're cheaper in bulk assuming she got a whole set.

one of my players uses tungsten dice, which are about 4 times as dense as pure bronze. they're so heavy, we insist he rolls them in a felt-lined picture frame we've constructed as a roller so as not to mar the surface of the table, since they're dense enough to dent the wood.

Any time someone pulls a complete set of the Basic Red Box Set originals. I only have 2 left from my original set.

"Kraken Die: because stepping on a d4 is not quite painful enough"

At least here there's nothing pointing directly up.

Personally I love the thorn dice (https://www.shapeways.com/product/T3ZY4LFDB/thorn-dice-set-with-decader), but I've heard that they don't roll as well as standard dice.

What color? Mine were yellow with original white crayon in the box.

in my experience, they're not very fair, and they scratch the hell out of your table

That would == a ban at my table.... Scratches on my table is not cool. And I won't scratch my hosts' table either.

that's why my players use one of these (https://img0.etsystatic.com/060/0/9732115/il_340x270.687131006_te73.jpg) bad boys. and now that we've got a 3d printer, one of these (https://boardgamegeek.com/camo/9d0e36a5f5a3b258ec0cd839d30d71707151d4d3/687474703a2f2f7374617469632e666c69636b722e636f6d2f 34372f3134303033373938385f353931333665636361372e6a 7067) to mechanize the rolling

you can make or buy one cheaply if your circle uses weird metal dice with spikes on them.

Seen those around before. They seem amazingly cool, but a little part of my brain always thinks it's a horrible waste of a finite resource.


Any time someone pulls a complete set of the Basic Red Box Set originals. I only have 2 left from my original set.

I think I still have my full set. I'll see if I can pull them out and get a pic.

Here we go (no idea how I got so many d10s):

Not a set of dice, but I'd love to own one of these:

Thank you, I was on mobile when I posted it, but I fixed it now.
