Do you mean you made the actual ones he used in the book, or merely that you made a set for yourself according to his instructions?

Huw, nothing on this entire Earth explains my dice-rolling "skill". If I had been all of Ghengis Khan, Ivan the Terrible, Vlad the Impaler, the Marquis de Sade, Jack the Ripper, Hitler, Tojo, Stalin, Mao and Mugabe, it would not come close to explaining it.

People tend to forget that dice have no memory. Each time you roll it, it's still the exact same odds as last time..
