Not a lot I can't find in Seoul, but at the moment I'm stumped.

I need those funny Dungeons and Dragons style dice -- the ones with 4 sides and 8 sides and 10 sides and 20 sides and whatever they hell how many sides.

Any ideas?

There was a post about AD&D on the off-topic forum a while ago. I saw the address of a game store there. Here, I'll just find the page for you:

Got it!

another thing i'd recomend is head to Walmart and pick up a set of GIANT FOAMY DICE!

They are fairly durable and the kids love to pitch them around the class.

Have you tried the little stationery stores at the gates of elementary schools?

Thanks Oigirl and waggo. I have a shit load of normal six-sided dice. Looking for some of the more unique ones, which mithridates covered.

Thanks anyway

What are you doing with the many-sided dice? Are you using them in the classroom?

A few reasons:

I figure a game that usually takes 40 minutes with a 6-sided die will take longer with a 4-sided die.

I make my own games so I can make a one-hundred square board with a different trivia question (or whatever) on every square, and roll the one hundred sided die.

Just a change from the six-sided die.

You know, a d4 is quite easy to make if you don't have the time to run out and buy one. Takes about two minutes...

Got 'em. Got lots of dice.

I have 4-sided and 8-sided and 10-sided and 12-sided and 20-sided.

Let the good times roll.

I have an 8-sided die that has been to more countries than I've been to. I used to give it to my friends whenever they went on vacation. I think it's somewhere around 20 countries, but I've lost track. It's in my backpack right now.
