I wish they had a better picture of the D5.

Having a little trouble visualizing that.

I have one of those D34s. I have no idea when or where I acquired it; I suspect it was accidental (i.e., used to be someone else's and ended up in my dice bag).

oh yeah, and 4.

Is nobody else concerned that dNs for which not all the faces are congruent will be unfair? Certain faces might come up less often because of the dynamics of the way the die rolls. I wonder if anyone has tested those things.

I was wondering that myself. I can't think of any a priori reason why congruency ought to be necessary for uniform distribution, but I assume that it would help, certainly.
