Hi all

First let me tell everyone that we do not collect dice  :D

Lets just say my wife cant roll above a five on a D20 so she buys lots of sparkly things LOL

So we were sorting out some dice and came up with this:

$matches[2]


We have all sorts, original basic set dice, glow in the dark, mood dice, D6's by the pound and strangely enough piles of sparkly Borealis dice (which according to eBay are worth as much as gold

I am planning on selling/trading a few sets in the near future but I do have question for the forums:

My wife has some old Thermochromic dice from 1988-1989, does anybody know who made these?  It was bought as a set from one of the major dice companies (cool they were dark purple and hot they were pink). If you look at the last picture they are the set in the middle of the bottom. I would not mind getting a mint set of these :)

Cheers
Jeff

Jeff---

Have you by chance run across any of the old metal-coated plastic dice (probably from Chessex or Koplow)?  I'm still looking for some like my bronze d20 from c. 1987-1991:

I'm looking for at least some more d20s like that, if not the full set (which I never owned BITD, just this d20).

Hey Allan,

if you are looking for help IDing your die, you can try these two groups on FB:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiceManiacsClub

https://www.facebook.com/groups/GoblinDiceHoard

Never know, you could get lucky and find someone selling them. If anything, I'm sure people on there would be interested in knowing about this.

Wish you luck Sir!
