The dice I haven\u2019t been able to ID to date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The penultimate post of the Oddball Dice Series features a few dice that I haven\u2019t been able to ID to date but that I think are interesting and maybe a little unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Translucent clear 16mm die whose pips are inked in a translucent green. This makes for a really interesting effect. I\u2019ve been told these also exist with other pip colours, and I believe they made by the same German factory that produces for Chessex. I have no idea who sold these or what they were called, if they even had a name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pearly dark blue 16mm pip with white ink. Possibly a Chessex PoD random, or possibly something else. Can someone confirm if this is one of those PoD fillers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Really interesting (and generously cracked) acrylic 16mm pip in a yellowish amber colour with golden swirls all throughout the die and very subtle mint-green swirls in places. I\u2019d never seen this one before I came across it in a dice lot. Anyone know what this may be and where it came from?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Opaque orange d10 with an unusual font. The 7 is hooked and the 4 is open, the 1 doesn\u2019t have an upstroke, the 6 and 9 have dots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen d20s in a similar fashion and I have a black w\/white d20 of those, although I’ve also seen photos of other colours with gold ink. Anyone have any idea who might have sold these?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Translucent teal-mint d20 in an unusual font and number map. Anyone know what brand this is and if full sets exist?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Translucent d20s with another unusual number map. The number below the 20 is 18, and the 1 has a weirdly long upstroke. You can tell it’s not the 7 since the 7s have a horizontal line through them, which you can’t see in this photo. The horizontal line 7s are similar to dice that were sold by Crisloid, which have a different number map altogether. Would be interesting to find out more about these.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
