So I know of D14, D16, D18, D7, D24, D30, D34, D50, and D100. However, I'd like to get a few other, unusual dice, simply because I like dice (and collecting them is sort of a hobby within a hobby for me). Does anyone know of any OTHER unusual dice beyond those above, and if so, where to purchase them? |

I like my 2-sided dice, they have a picture of Lincoln for the "1" and the White House for the "2" |

Ooh, Punkrabbit- ou must have a convention exclusive! Mine has the Lincoln Memorial on the 2.  Unusual number of facings, or unusual stuff printed on them? |

I don't know if many more are readily available, but someone has designed them. link |

I have a 332-sided die… Well, actually I numbered the dimples on a golf ball! |

EM4 has d6s with different designs on them instead of, or with, numbers. Dwarves, orcs, biplanes, ACW images. There are also average dice (d6s) and there are directional dice and the like, all d6s as well. Games like Nuclear War and Hard Vacuum had some unique replacements for the 6 on d6s. Not sure if that's what you had in mind. |

Just do an e-bay search on dice…. you will find plenty of odd things. |

Unusual number of facings is what I'm after, but I'm not really interested in the Shapeways dice; too pricey. |

Did some interesting Salute give away dice back in the day. Extreme dice (opposite of average dice) numbered 1,1,2,5,6,6 Made thousands and had mixed responses to them. Used 'em in several game systems just to reflect results that were anything but average (Fanatics, artillery results etc). Did D3 dice as well – 1,2,3,1,2,3 Very useful. John T |
