I'm switching to all clear dice. Maybe that is the secret to Jim'ing it up.

im going to find out tonight and will post a video here

I assume that it is just as true; the thing is the d20's shape allows it to roll perfectly in that solution, I don't think it would work as well with anything smaller than a d12. I do have some dice that I have sworn hate me, and have been utterly awful ... now it makes me think that there is something to that. I'm pissed because when my car was broken into, among the things jacked were my Vegas dice from Mandalay Bay that I loved. Now I need to order myself some more ...

Those dice you rolled at Lone Wolf hated you. They only rolled 1's and 2's.

Truth. And as far as Lonewolf my dice there were brilliant compared to the nut-punch they gave me at the 40k Alamo GT. 3 1/2 games where my dice literally couldn't roll for a damn thing. Those dice are going in the trash today.

Finally a way to confirm what I have suspected all along.

i performed the test tonight on my blood angels dice. i have retired these dice because i believe they roll too many ones. i performed the test on 20 dice and not a single one of them would come up with the same thing more than once.

so either the test does not work on 6 sided dice or those dice are not unbalanced on the inside.

the theory on chessex dice is that they are put in a rock tumbler and may not be perfectly rounded. i have not used a caliper on these dice to measure that aspect.
