These ones?

I love my "Japanese" dice. Kind of old school Shadowrun style. Maybe an inspiration?

Jup. PITA.

Whew,
After some hardcore geometry revision, I present you the first run of my custom SR-Themed dice in plastics and also cost-optimized for metals.

If you decide to have some printed, throw me a bone and send me some pics of the product once it arrives.

Starting the scatter/number dice design process now.

I started mocking up designs for the hyrbrid numerical/scatter and I, maybe I am just being stupid, began to wonder: how can I make an accurate scatter die with only 6 faces. You know, with their being 8 standard directions, and 12 suggested directions for SR scatter rules.

Shadowrun 4 uses six-sided scatter. It doesn't scatter perfectly perpendicular.
In the direction of the throw, 1 scatters directly ahead (overthrow), 2 scatters ahead and to the right, 3 scatters behind (the intended target) and to the right, 4 scatters directly behind (underthrow,) 5 scatters behind and to the left, and 6 scatters ahead and to the left.


By the way, would you be interested/willing in designing some d10s for something else? Someone on an Exalted IRC I lurk on was bemoaning the lack of purpose-made Exalted dice, so I suggested you might be able and willing to do a little commission work.

"by the bucket!"

Really nice. I still think they'd be better off without the 2, 3 and 4. If you really need a 6 sided dice for something else you usually have no shortage of them.

Is that $5 each?
