OCTOBER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS



Here are the highlights of the dice added in OCTOBER 2008

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

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 !
