Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I saw a pattern for a crocheted d20 once, but I don't crochet or know anyone who does.
Yeah, Chessex made a d6 for Free RPG Day '09. They were one of the lower-tier sponsors though, so I don't think there were that many made. Noble Knight was out of them by the time I got around to doing my order back then, I know. Standard pipped d6 with the 1 side with text stating what it was for, I recall from the picture I saw. I forget what colour, it wasn't one I know off the top of my head.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I made the jello after my post earlier today, and left it to gel until about an hour ago.
I wanted to make a d4, but the jello wasn't sturdy enough. Perhaps if I had used more cold water it would have worked. Regardless, I did make a fairly good d6, but I couldn't smooth the faces very well even with a toothpick.
Here are some photos:
Spoiler
Man, it always seems to take forever when you have to stir jello!
Spoiler
As you can see, it also didn't support its own weight.

Here is a close up of the jello die.
So, unfortunately, this didn't work out so well. However, I can say that until I ate it, I had a die that Kevin didn't.SpoilerAvatar, and many thanks, to Nevitan!

Freeze it then have a Die Popsicle!
It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
You could probably make proper moulds if you had the money/resources. I know I'd love to see that

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Probably, but I did this with what I had in the house.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
JEEPERS
Yep ... I am a MB fan ... and I saw that episode
What hasn't dice been made from yet?
Gold, bronze, brass, copper, silver, platinum, plastic, bone, wood, paper, jade, marble
Cork dice?
Hmmm .. what have I not seen dice made of ...
Ice ...
Toast ...
Smurfs ...
Paper Mache ...
Hair ...
the list could be endless :P
I just got an idea if the Woodland Scenics water will work. Make a gelatinous cube with a mini in it per a tutorial, but make it a big dice with a mini in side. Probably other resins would work better though.
Don't know if it would count for your collection as a unique die, but would be cool to have dice with things in them other than other dice.
How about corn-cob dice?
I bet THIS would work
I had to look up aerogel as well
I wonder how someone can get ahold of this stuff
I dont have an interest in making it myself ... anybody care to try?
How about a die weighted with helium - roll it on the ceiling?
I did as well ... on etsy ... and had the same problem ... the same seller sold one die ... but I missed the end of the auction :( ... she does not plan to make more

LOL .. perhaps the mold above would help?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Sorry for the delay ... I managed to get ahold of a set for myself .. but that was all that they had ... at the time
They are now selling these on ebay and likely will have some at GenCon ... if there are any left after ebayLast edited by Kevin_Cook; 2009-07-27 at 11:25 AM.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I saw a bowling ball for sale with a large D6 set in it. I wonder if anybody makes a D20 version for geeks like us?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
To your knowledge, has anyone ever made a "pop-o-matic bubble" of a type other than d6, or which A) can be opened and a die placed into and B) is suitable for use with a standard-sized twenty-sided die?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I also saw the silver one ...I have seen one in RED as well ... but unfortunatley ... all were D6
Unfortunately I have never seen a non d6 ... nor a self loadable pop-o-matic ... it would be cool though ... that would end cheating ... and would eliminate the need for a dice tower

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I have never been a fan of the pyramid-style d4 - they're read differently from the other dice and barely roll at all. What's your favorite kind of alternately shaped d4?

That's a nice die, it'd be a shame to roll it.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Those stained glass ones are awesome.
Never did manage to find the Chessex Free RPG Day die, but I did manage to win the auction for the Q-workshop purple/yellow elven dice, so that quest will soon be complete. Thanks again for the headsup on that.
Though I've managed to end up with two spare d6(Not a problem, I play Shadowrun), two spare d% and a spare d12, lol.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Okay, background.
We all know about d10s that have faces that show 0-9, not 1-10.
And you probably know about (/have) d6s that show 0-2 twice (that is, 1d3-1).
(if you don't, see here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x.../betrayalhouse )
Now for the question.
How many other dice do you know like that? (That is, a die that intrinsically has a modifier to its rolls).

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Most do ... but ... there are true D10's that are numbered 1-10 ... the Koplow True D10's for example
