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).

1. Seems there are more forms for d6, d8, etc., than I previously had suspected.


2. It becomes clear that you can make a right-prism dN for any N, but geometrically they're not that interesting.


3. Above N about 30 or so the dNs just get silly. The d100 is spherical. Imagine the arguments about it being on an edge or something. Could make the difference between life and death if you're saving vs. food poisoning.

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.
