The right dice for the job

I roll my d6 and d10 and d20 with very uneven luck. It either critical hit or critical fail. Very few results are in between. My mates have noticed that, and on some occasions asked if my dice were loaded. Nice, friendly question indeed.

The other thing is range of possibilities and understating of this. Until some point in gaming addiction life you hope for the best roll, and don't really care whether your dice is capable of delivering it. You may even have some lucky dice which would roll more 6 or 20 than any other dice.

Why? Because they are "lucky"? Really? May be they are made with flaw, which makes certain rolls more probable than other? Well, i have to say thanks to Anatoli's blog for link on those two videos. Louis  Zochii (i've probably spelled that wrong :)), one of the pioneers of dice production speaks and compares quality dice and cheap dice of his competitors. Even if that is just an advert, his marketing skills and competence is astonishing. He also compares casino dice, and their standard with mass marketed gaming dice, and explains why dice should be quality made and give equal chance of rolling any number on the side. In the end Mr. Zochii shows a quirky dice trick.
