I really, really need to stop this.

Onto pictures.

http://www.iankunx.net/technicaldifficulty.jpg

Ah yes, a small technical difficulty. >_>

http://www.iankunx.net/d6715.jpg

A pair of d6s. I don't know why these are always painted so badly, I used to have a pair of these years ago in my original, missing collection, and they were painted badly as well. >_> Chessex usually does a fairly good job on their dice, so it's weird.

http://www.iankunx.net/batchvariation.jpg

3 d8s from a bag of 100. They're all supposed to be purple, but there's batch variation on these that makes them be varying shades of purple, with a few the light blue colour on the right. (My camera's white balance is funky right now, and leans too much towards blue, so the left two look the same, but they're not, and the leftmost is rather decidedly purple.)

http://www.iankunx.net/d50d4.jpg

A 'd50', which is a d10 numbered 00-40 twice. Gamescience also makes a similar 'd5', numbered 0-4 twice, but the place I got most of these dice from didn't have any. The d4 is from a bag of 100 identical d4s. Cheap home security system? (They only sold these in bags of 100, so, bags of 100 it was.)

http://www.iankunx.net/bouncyd26d18.jpg

Bouncy dice, again. d26 on left, d18 on right. These, unlike the d20s, are not 'fair' dice and have biased rolls, good for weighting results(Put a Q and X on the tip faces of the d26, for example, if you wanted to use it to generate random names or somesuch). Like the last batch of bouncy dice, they have stickers for customizing them, I plan to leave them blank, just like the last batch.

http://www.iankunx.net/amethystset.jpg

Another full set of twelve dice, d3, d4, d5, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, d14, d16, d20, d24. These are an amethyst colour rather than the last set's topaz, and these are uninked. Much like the last one, they're gorgeous.

That's the most recent internet order, now here's the dice I got Saturday at the game store in Modesto I go to sometimes:

http://www.iankunx.net/d10715.jpg

They actually had d%s for a change. Nice, since I have eighteen billion d10s, but almost none of them were d%s. There is one lone d10.

http://www.iankunx.net/d481220.jpg

A d4, a couple of d8s, three d12s and a d20.

http://www.iankunx.net/oilslick.jpg

A brick of 12 d6s in a colour called 'Shadow w/gold'. I call it 'oil slick'. These photograph about as well as the borealis dice, AKA not at fucking all. Much more win IRL.

Are you ready for TOO MANY FUCKING DICE?

http://www.iankunx.net/dicepile2.jpg

All the dice I own, except for the plushie dice, which I didn't feel like figuring out how to try to fit in here. Here's the original picture of those:

http://www.iankunx.net/plushdice.jpg

Current counts:

d3: 3
d4: 128
d5: 3
d6: 179
d7: 2
d8: 122
d10: 78 (Counting the new d50 here, since it is 10-sided)
d12: 28
d14: 3
d16: 4
d18: 1
d20: 44
d24: 4
d26: 1
d30: 2
d50: 1

Current total: 603, holy shit.

You have the most... beautiful... *-*

I don't care for dice really, but some of the ones you have are just so pretty!!

finally, it only took nagging over a period of days, but they're up

Ian, your dice are photogenic enough to use in a This Week in FKL desktop. :wacko:

Nitro Vordex

It took days because that's how long it took to count them. :wacko:

I hear blood can make the most magnicifent bending of light rays, is that true Sord?

Soo, maybe light a watercolor airbrush combo, eh?

*puts some smelling salts near Tess's nose and stands back*

So, yeah. Ian's dice. I didn't know you had two chainmail d6's.

@ Tact- You didn't know? :disapprove:

Tact
Jul 15, 2008, 09:35 PM
I knew he had a chainmail d6 and a chainmail d8. I did not know that he had a second chainmail d6.

Nitro Vordex

._. Check more often then.

that or maybe stain glass with it somehow

Tact

I would, but Ian hadn't made a dice thread for a while before now.

And now, we have a side note. That kitten is named Arwen, for those of you who don't know. :wacko:

Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Actually, my last dice thread was two weeks ago, it just didn't get any replies and quickly vanished into the mists of page 2. <_>

*cuddles dice*

Tact

It must be very hard to cuddle your dice. Don't some of them slip out of your grasp, making you reach out for them while trying to hold the rest of the dice with one arm?

Nitro Vordex
Jul 15, 2008, 11:04 PM
There's 600 of them, I'm sure he can manage something. :wacko:

Cats don't blink, Nitro.

Kind of like trying to have a staring contest with the O RLY die. Dice don't blink either.

Yeah they do. >_> Technically.

Well this one won't, it's in a picture. :wacko:

In other words, none of you got it. .-.;

Cats only blink for their own amusement.

Actually it's a doll couch, but it's the perfect size for kittens.

Bullocks. Apparently you've never seen Chuck Norris have a staring contest with a die...Let's just say, he doesn't lose
