very interesting, now is there anything out there on d20s? I nearly always roll a 1 or a 2 on a d20 for that critical saving throw |

Pips are the dots on a die. Pipless would be a die with the actual numerals on them instead of the dots. |

I'm wondering if our engineering prof/gamer was actually referring to dice without physical holes drilled in them for the pips. |

I've got some of the casino dice that he's talking about. The dots marking them don't come with accompanying holes. If you go further into the thread, you'll see that, when he says "pips", he's talking about the depressions. (Which the casino dice don't have.) |

I refute this study! First in all WH games a bucket of dice are rolled at one time and on a semi-soft surface. So I had my 10 year old ( for some reason he doesn't have school today ) roll 10 GW black dice 10 times. The results: 17 1's, 18 2's, 16 3's, 13 4's, 17 5's, 19 6's. Didn't think I could get him to roll a hundred times for a more accurate study. Ron |

If you noticed their study, they rolled *each* die 1,000 times. So your son's study is less accurate by two orders of magnitude. Kinda significant, don't you think? ;) |

You have just condemmed my son to hours of die rolling. I'll get back to you with the results. |
