    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?

    Do you think Q-Workshop will make one of those new d4's in the old Tech style?

    Oh wow, I saw it but didn't realize what was inside. I just thought it was kind of ugly, this is better (in a slightly creepy way ).

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

    I think you are referring to ... http://www.dicecollector.com/THE_DIC...SHOP_TECH.html

    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.)

    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.

    I have not ... the only ones I know of were released at Gen Con ... I am waiting for Alliance to make them available so that I can get them from my FLGS

    Do you acquire many dice from independent crafters (like from places like Etsy, etc?)

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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?
    IN a way ... yes ... there is the Dicelopedia (see the link at the end of each update for the past few months

    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?
    all of them ... including actual precision casino dice ... If you remember the RICK and MORTY episode about true level ... you will get the idea

    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?
    I would say that is up to the individual player (including gamemaster and fellow players

    -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?
    Yes ... it would upset the balance ... even using a rotary tool (dremmel / carving tool etc) will cause an imbalance ... the only way to achieve as close to precision as possible is to remove the material for the indicia ... then backfill the cavities just made with material that is of the same density ... then scalp (cut) off any excess to bring the face back to smooth ... this is how casino dice are made ... and even they are not 100% fair ... but are close enough for the gaming commissions in charge
