I have two, gifts from my wife's PAX trip, and we put them to the test after the game one night. As predicted, they heavily favoured 1s and 7s over a few dozen rolls.d7http://d7.pipemaze.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-89631657365341074092012-05-30T18:38:48.620-04:002012-05-30T18:38:48.620-04:00I purchased all of my dice from sellers on eBay.I purchased all of my dice from sellers on eBay.James Maliszewskihttp://grognardia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-88031103132239664882012-05-26T00:11:48.315-04:002012-05-26T00:11:48.315-04:00I've had mine for a while now,and I'm plea...I've had mine for a while now,and I'm pleased to be putting them to use.

I collect dice and I have these similar ones from Japan:<br />http://www.dicecollector.net/JM/d10.D.Japan.jpg<br />but they seem to differ in that the 9's and 6's on yours don't have underlined numbers and the corners are slightly more rounded on yours. I've only seen the Japanese ones in red and blue. <br />There are a few other d10's with similar shape:<br />http://www.dicecollector.net/JM/d10.D.poker.jpg<br />some with more pointed corners:<br />http://www.dicecollector.net/JM/d10.D.sharp.jpg<br />and more spherical shapes:<br />http://www.dicecollector.net/JM/d10.D.round.jpgJustinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-70683830272208953252012-05-24T08:37:10.603-04:002012-05-24T08:37:10.603-04:00Q) Where did you find your d7?

For example, a 5th level Warrior with a sword will need a d20 and a d7 to roll to hit, a d8 for damage, a d24 for criticals, and a d20 plus d14 for action dice. That's five different types of dice that the player needs to have handy just to run a combat (compared to 2 for D&D). God help me as a DM if I'm trying to handle multiple classed NPCs.
