It used to be quite difficult to buy any RPG dice at all. Finding them meant a hopeful trip to a probably distant shop, or trusting to a magazine advert and the postal system.

Today we have wonders such as these.

Last time I lived with my parents, their #cats developed a habit of chasing (and trying to eat) 20-sided #dice. I tried to switch them to d30s because I worried about them choking on small dice, but they wouldn't touch those. Cats only love d20s!

Strange pin to find at the #MichRenFest, though.

What?! No, the author, Dr. Marcus Du Sautoy, is a math PhD and should know better! Dominoes have only one representative of unequal values, but with dice there are two ways of getting that result.

For example, scoring a 9 on 2D6 has probability 4/36. But the 6-3 and 5-4 are just 2/21 of the (non-blank) dominoes! This is a terrible way to simulate a d5!

From "Around the World in Eighty Games" which wasn't great on its history but now I gotta question its math too?
