Our local Battletech group organized to order some custom dice from Chessex. I say "we" organized, but Jeremy did all the work (Thanks Jeremy!). That's our group emblem to the right. [original artist/source unknown]
These dice have a single custom side, with the six-pips replaced by our mascot hungry shark. They really turned out nice.
Shiny new dice in hand, I proceeded to try them, and in their debut game ...... I had absolutely terrible luck.
("Jeremy, I'd like to have a word with you about these dice.")
Maybe they just need more practice. :-)
Very spiffy! As a dice fanatic, it's good to know that you can customize with chessex. Some day on my blog I will have to show the plethora of dice I own.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they can make some with a side heavier than the other? Tee Hee!
ReplyDeleteSure, just drill it out, drop in a fishing weight (but not that nasty lead stuff, it's bad for kids), seal in over with glue or putty, repaint, and you've got your very own loaded die.
ReplyDeleteI'm not actually recommending this though. In my limited experience with such things I recall that the loaded die "bounced funny", and the weighting was obvious if you dropped it into a glass of water.
The dice used in casinos are transparent and the pips painted on so that this type of tampering would be obvious.
