Dice!
at Orycon I came across some most curious dice.
One was the Koplow "Ten Commandments" die. Yep, each face has a shortened version of one of the commandments on it. I'll refrain from speculating on what evil a GM (or player) might do with such a thing. :-)
The other was a d12 with: the following on it:
1's
10's
100's
1000's
10 000's
100 000's
ones
tens
hundreds
thousands
ten thousands
hundred thousands
It's taken me a few days, but I finally came up with the right search terms to let me find a source online:
http://www.enasco.com/c/math/Math+Manipulatives/Dice/Place+Value+Dice/
And there are even some other almost as neat d10s there. Having d10s marked with all those extra zeros would be handy oin gaming. But have the one I originally search for to give the "magnitude" of what you are rolling for should strike fear into the hearts of your players.
