Hooray! My "Pound O' Gamescience Dice" arrived in the mail yesterday! Yep, these are the ones I remember using as a kid, when D&D was still a brand new experience to me. And I know I'm not the only one Here is a pic of them; Washed, and air-drying before getting inked: (Mouse-over for title; Click for a larger image in a new tab) Want some of your very own? Try looking Here. Needing some advice on how to ink these bad boys so they will last a long time between inks, and look great besides? Try this veteran gamer's advice. Or maybe look over here. Have fun, happy Thanksgiving, and Fight On!

Cool! I still have some of my earliest dice. I don't remember if I've ever used a sharpie to ink my dice. I usually used paint, applied with a sharpened toothpick.

Great idea! How did that work out?

The paint has held up pretty well. I haven't had to re-ink the dice very much.

Sharpie has an extra-fine paint pen that works great: you can usually find white, gold, and silver generally. Good art stores will have a range of colors: I like yellow and blue.

If your d20 reads 0-9 twice, use two different colors. Then you can decide which color is the 1-10 range, and which is the 11-20 range.
