Does that mean you'll break me out - like "Howling Mad" Murdock in the A Team?

I think I've said it before, but this forum constitutes my social life.

Attempting to break Nobby out would be a cause for re-instating the death penalty.

Whatever it is, the frog doesn't look too thrilled.  :o

Funnily enough, neither does the koala.

I think that's a Drop Bear, rather than a koala. :-\
Perhaps some of our colleagues from the Antipodes could throw some light on this vexing question.
Cheers - Phil.

It's Stitch from "Lilo and Stitch". It's an experiment by an alien race.

Since you had to ask!

Stitch has double the amout or arms - perhaps he has double of another appendage ( not shown on childrens TV) and the frog is being well,  entertained :-\ :d

I have a rare copper 2D  one

Doesnt have numbers but special symbols on each side One  side a  Welsh badge and on the other   a lady. Each year they made them they stamped that year on so it has collectible value as well

If anyone wants to buy it I would let it go for £10 as a special price to forum members  :P

Somewhere......I've still got a d100.
Almost completely useless.....It's so difficult to tell which number is 'on top'....They're just so small.
Resembles a golf ball, with all the dimples filled in, from what I remember.

I've got one of them! Didn't you need it for Warhammer fantasy roll play or one of the early Fantasy battles - they loved their charts in them days.

I think I was just into getting lots of different dice in those days, Matt.
Can't remember ever using it 'in anger'......Apart from a failed attempt with D&D.  ;D ;D ;D

SYW Cuirassier cavalry in Black Powder use a D3 in the combat results phase.

1. They have more than two sides.

2. How do you get the damn thing to roll?
Title: Re: Pendraken Fandom?
Post by: Leman on 27 January 2015, 09:53:43 AM
A sort of. dropping thrown action. No more difficult than rolling D4
Title: Re: Pendraken Fandom?
Post by: Hertsblue on 27 January 2015, 10:58:52 AM
Well, I've always thought any set of rules that employed dice with less than 6 sides was designed by a lazy s*d.
Title: Re: Pendraken Fandom?
Post by: Leman on 28 January 2015, 09:09:29 AM
D3 using a D6 is very counter-intuitive, with 3 = 2.

Post by: getagrip on 28 January 2015, 10:13:19 AM
I'm sitting here trying to visualise a genuine three sided solid and it's doing strange things to my brain.  8-}

For a while I started to imagine I was someone else and feeling I needed Centurion tanks in my life.  :o :o :o
Title: Re: Pendraken Fandom?
Post by: Leman on 28 January 2015, 10:46:29 AM
It's a bit like a tiny toblerone but with the sharp sides and ends rounded. Whichever number reads the right way up is the die score.
