I suppose it isn't too surprising, very darn cool though Isaac Send a noteboard - 07/03/2013 10:32:37 PM

The place of Euclid when he was also the guys who is most known for discussing basic geometry and the five Platonic Solids, which are the d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20 can't be too surprising that some people there were familiar enough with those shapes to want to use them too, and dice games were already around and widespread. That is just all kinds of cool though.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Makes one wonder about the purpose(s) for which the dice were used. - 08/03/2013 10:29:19 AM 853 Views

Tom would probably be our best source on symbols; apparently ancient Egypt had THREE numeric sets. - 08/03/2013 06:24:27 PM 892 Views
Tom probably, maybe Ghav - 08/03/2013 07:29:32 PM 870 Views
Yeah, and maybe more likely to visit the RPGMB. - 08/03/2013 09:59:38 PM 973 Views

Like Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers? You expect me to fall for that as easily as General Zod did? - 09/03/2013 11:14:24 PM 947 Views

Also Tom's remark's on the CMB make it pretty definitely not numerical - 10/03/2013 04:21:55 AM 830 Views
Hmm... actually, that d20 COULD be a "d200." - 11/03/2013 03:39:52 PM 1037 Views
