"Truly Square Dice" Topic

Where can one purchase D6 dice that are squared at the corners, rather than bevelled. As I understand it, the odds of rolling a 1 are a little bit higher on dice with rounde corners due to more paint on the six face of the die. Or something like that. At any rate, I want square dice since 1s are death in our rules and 6s rule the world.

Any game store that orders from Chessex or Koplow should be able to get you 'decommissioned' casino dice. They're quite sharp.

I thought the chances of rolling a six were higher because the greater number of holes make that side lighter.

Depends on the style of dice; painted spots are more likely to produce ones, while indented holes are more likely to produce sixes. That said, it *really* isn't statistically significant; maybe one or two times per thousand. If you really are bothered about it, though, the recommendations for casino dice are spot on; they're as "true" a set of dice as you'll find.

You may alos want to check out the Gambler's Genral Store for "regulation" casino dice. Their web link is: gamblersgeneralstore.com

Alte Fritz, I remember you posting something about being in/around Chicago, anyway, the following is based off of that:

I think Games Plus sells casino style dice. At the front counter with the other dice. Also I would be surprised if Gamer's Paradice does not have some in with either their Dice or Casino night stuff.
