Pair-a-dice

I'm trying to come up with a solution to a common problem -- unwieldy die rolls. Normally I use two d10 to stand in for a d100, but Bill and I always forget which color die we chose to stand for the tens and which for the ones. Bill's good with computers, so he searched the Internet and found a die that claims to be a d100, but we've determined that it produces an uneven frequency distribution. I wouldn't want to be caught using loaded dice! Heck, no!

So, we set to making our own d100. I'm not sure my math is right, but I think to have the surfaces big enough to land on, it would have to be about 70 centimeters in diameter. That will be hecka loud rolling on my apartment floor, but that's the price of good gaming. Hopefully, we'll get to carving it this weekend.

Maybe if you are lucky, the loud rumbling of the dice on those hard wood floors will peak the interest of those two cute coeds in the apartment below you.

I'm not really into chicks.

And I had such high hopes for this blog.
