The Best Gaming Dice: GameScience Dice

We’ve all spent hours looking at dice in our local game store.  We’ve carefully chosen those that call to us, usually based on looks.  Eventually, long after we’ve paid for them and come home, we cast them back into the Bag of Shame because they fail us constantly with a slew of terrible rolls.  Or, perhaps we find that one d20 that never fails us, even though we hate the color.

Apparently, most of our dice are nowhere near as random as we imagine them to be, and it isn’t our imagination.   Mr. Zocchi, who created the original set of polyhedrals that have become iconic to our hobby, is currently the man behind GameScience, and his dice are intended to be precise pieces of engineering.    Let’s let the man make his point for himself, though:

I already intend to replace my dice with these.  You can buy them online from GameStation.net. I should also point out that Chessex does sell a small selection of the GameScience dice.  They’re the translucent jewel-colored dice with the sharp edges that don’t have their numbers painted.

Now, if only someone would start making machined casino quality polyhedrals.
