Evil sharp dice

Post by **Minstrel** » Wed Apr 09, 2008 11:20 am

Wondering if anyone has seen any of the old colored, gem-like dice with sharp edges on sale on ebay or anywhere? These were the types that usually didn't have any coloring on the numbers. I'd love to augment my collection. I'll post a pic later if I can snap one at home.

Zherbus will know what I'm talking about. They were known to cause a few scars when stepped on accidentally.

Oh, yeah. The caltrops.

Like these?

Sorry for the bad pic, I had to put a tube of Chapstick in it so the dice would not be so blurry but they still came out bad, heh.

Yep, pretty sure those are the ones!

Hell yeah they are. They are my backup to the backup on my home alarm system..... a few of those bad boys strategically placed and any thief would be foolish to enter!

heh, I have a few of those in my older collection.

I recall back in the day when I could toss one of those halfway across a table and still be able to read the (uncolored) numbers. But now I'm old and half-blind.

*sigh*

and I also remember an early episode of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 when some folks were falling or being pushed into a pit. One of the insterted lines went something like "Ow, I fell on my 8-sider!". LMAO. Only us old schoolers would get that inside joke.

I don't know whether this question has already been answered, but you can still get these dice at Noble Knight Games. Here's a link:

Sweetness! Now to get some of that money stuff they seem to want in exchange for the dice.

Thanks Sir Clarence, and welcome to BIP!

Oh man, I miss those Precision Edge weapons. I mean, dice.
