HIGHLIGHED DICE FOR OCTOBER 2008

OCTOBER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS

EVENTS OF PARTICULAR NOTE

I did a lot of crawling of BoardGameGeek this month which resulted in several new dice

Some kind soul felt that my ugly mug was worth being sold on eBay

(unfortunately noone bid on it)

If you are curious ... THIS is the article

DICE OF PARTICULAR NOTE


	Once again ... thanks to Jan in the Netherlands for his contribution of these IKEA dice


	These 'Old West' dice were designed by John Pettit and produced by CHESSEX


WIZARDS OF THE COAST released these Shards of Alara Spindowns this month


	More SECRET SOCIETYdice from CHESSEX


	Added some more Harry Potter Dicers this month (hopefully more on the way)


	These are the dice that I found via BoardGameGeek

	These are new due to their size and due to the size

	Pokemon dice ... anyone know of a source for more of these? The Amazon.com dealer only sells random colors and has yet to respond to my request for one of each

I have had dice in ... Leather boxes Leather bags But these dice are actually Leather They are heavy so I suspect the interior is either stone or metal

	This die has to be the earliest DOUBLE DICE 1928 ... Celebrating the Herbert Hoover victory for the US Presidency

This is nice pair of Jade dice ... added this month

	WHITE WOLF released the Hunter the Vigil dice this month

More World of Warcraft dice Did we need more? PREVIOUS SET

	Speaking of more ... It seems STARBUCKS like to use dice in training (this makes 3 different sets)

The quality of HIGHLAND GAMES has improved a good bit since my first acquistion back before 2001 (2000th Die)

Dr Simkin's D-Total reminded me that I hadn't invented a new die lately ... especially one with a new shape ... My thoughts wandered to ... How many different outcomes can 2d6 produce ... 36 There wasn't a D36 ... so I made one ... The die is numbered 1-36 ( I can't think of any other use for a D36 ... can you? ) as well as being pipped with the 36 different possible rolls of 2 d6 Now .. I just need to get all the casino's world wide to give up their foolish attachment to pairs of dice ... when there is one die that can do it all !
