Video Flagged Dead
This is fascinating. From Metafilter: In a must-see interview for tabletop gamers everywhere, Colonel Louis Zocchi talks about modern mass produced plastic dice and why they utterly fail at being random.

I've got a lot of respect for someone passionate about his craft.

It's just great that he happens to be spot on the money as well (yeah, I'd be one of the nerds who hung out for the whole rant then sank some cash on a new set =)

Amazing, suddenly I've become mighty suspicious of the circumstances that allowed my poor ranger to end up ugly, armless, and well nigh without a face.

I would probably end up staying for the entire rant and replacing my old dice as well. Sad, but true.

Since this series of videos was posted on the DDI forums I have measured all my dice. The Chessex dice are fairly good, most the others are crap.

Yes I am DDI forum poster... yes I still play D&D regular (as well as World of Darkness, 4e Shadowrun.)

No I am not a virgin. I have a 7 year old daughter.

GET OFF MY BACK!


Edit: DDI = Dungeons & Dragons Insider, it's the new very interactive 4th edition website/forums/tools/web-based Dragon & Dungeon magazines, wrapped into one glorious nerd kingdom.

In all seriousness, his dice aren't very expensive at all compared to most other companies. But, like with all things, you get what you pay for. You buy the expensive ones, you get the best RPG dice in the world.
