Interesting to see where all the math rock aficionados are concentrated.

Now...just how balanced do you expect a d20 with a friggin molar inside of it to be?

Probably not very ... I would need to conduct a spin test to find out

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
This isn't something I own, but as a point of interest that I found online, this seemed an appropriate thread to share it in:

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Heh, I love it. The design of the die and the instructions both remind me that humanity really haven't changed that much over the years. (Though I must admit that while I've played some fairly rough drinking games, "Let everybody hit you on the nose" seems rather extreme. Ancient Koreans play hard, apparently.)

Re: November 2021 highlights
Have you gotten your hands on some of the new Chessex mini line? I got a set from the old line back in 2019, and it was closer to the bottom shelf Amazon grab bag in quality than the other Chessex stuff I know - tons of bubbles, flats bulged in, flaky ink, and so on. Now the images on their website seem to be a mixed bag, with some colors showing regular Chessex quality and some being similar to what I got before.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Do you acquire many dice from independent crafters (like from places like Etsy, etc?)

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Can I just add that I am (not even low key) super impressed that you've kept a thread going for 15 years without violating Thread Necromancy rules? One post every 30 days or so (except when forums were down)...that's dedication.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I like the one that's one die inside of another. Can't really think of any practical reason for it, but it's kinda cool.

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I first thought of the Russian Nesting dolls when I saw it
I then suggested to the artist that he do them to where 4 dice could nest one inside the other ... so that this could be a single die ... that can be broken apart to make a character stat set for things like D&D

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
Greetings. You might have answered these kinds of questions before, but to be honest I was not THAT interested in dice to read all 35 pages up to now (but I might slowly at some point). So if I repeat a question I apologize and the first question is probably
-do you have some kind of FAQ for the kinds of questions you get every month?
Now to the stuff I am actually interested in
-Can you give ballpark estimates to how much "normal" relatively cheap dice deviate from true equal distribution? Or does that vary too much from brand to brand to give a number?
-Or maybe from another angle: Can you quantify what imbalance you would say is still all right for using?
-If I were to get blank dice and use a soldering iron or something to burn symbols into it, would that upset the balance in any noticeable way? My instinct would be no, but what does an expert think?

Re: Got any Dice Questions?
I TOTALLY agree ... IMO it is a good idea to re-ask questions as the answer may have changed since the last time asked
up to now (but I might slowly at some point). So if I repeat a question I apologize and the first question is probably
-do you have some kind of FAQ for the kinds of questions you get every month?
Now to the stuff I am actually interested in
-Can you give ballpark estimates to how much "normal" relatively cheap dice deviate from true equal distribution? Or does that vary too much from brand to brand to give a number?
There really isnt anything that is truly equal
-Or maybe from another angle: Can you quantify what imbalance you would say is still all right for using?
-If I were to get blank dice and use a soldering iron or something to burn symbols into it, would that upset the balance in any noticeable way? My instinct would be no, but what does an expert think?
