Help me out here, gents…

I seem to remember seeing dice with symbols on for random Dungeon-crawling decisions: Door locked/open/trapped, random direction, hit location, treasure items, etc.
That kind of thing.

Does anyone still do these?

I have some of these, seem to recall getting them at RPGnow.com. You might poke around there.

Look at FRP games under "Dice & Bags" > "Roleplaying Aid Dice"

I have a dice theme devoted to Game Builder Dice – link

I also have a dice theme for Hit Location dice – link

I believe the dice that you remember are the Flying Buffalo dice

Feel free to email me direct if you have any questions

FRP seems to have most of the ones I remember… most of them are indeed Flying Buffalo.

Lazy DM-ing here I come… cheers, gents.

I have a nicely etched die with different room shapes, I guess for whipping up a random dungeon of 10x10' rooms.

I also bought a lot of cheap dice from the dollar store. I print out what I want on label paper, cover it with clear contact paper, cut out the little circles, stick them on the cheap dice, and I have a custom die for anything I want.
