Yeah, what she said. I haven't read most of this thread due to being out of town. What's been going on? Did we miss anything?

I understand that most people like to have the symbol on the six. I prefer to actually see the normal 6 pips. But instead of seeing 1, I'd like to see a symbol. It could be something kind of funny like a Wammy or something strange. A picture of dog crap where the 1 should be would be funny, that way when you roll a crit miss, you can yell "Crap!"

Or you could also have a nice design where the 1 is to help take the "sting" away when you crit miss.

For some reason on the 6 always seems more legit to me. I feel like it being on the one someone might try and see if you forget what it is. Whereas if it's just on the 6 there is no worry. If it's 1 it's 1. I guess the same could be said for the other way. So it boils down to matters of preference.

I have these dice with the image on the 1's. It's fitting.

Overall, I prefer picture on the 6's, though. Nothing is worse to me than seeing double maple leaf come up when I play Alpha Flight and I SHOULDN'T be upset to see those images.

Whenever I face an opponent playing with dice I've never seen them play before, and a symbol pops up, I always ask them to show me the reverse side just to be sure. And I always extend the courtesy of flipping my dice over to show that my symbols are indeed on the 6 side.

I love all my custom dice, but agree that things need to be on the up and up when using them.

I don't always remember but I try and point out at the beginning of the match which side has the symbol. I would never intentionally cheat and would avoid it any accidental cheating but never ever want to be accused of not being straight and honest.

I've also shipped toys and hobby items all over the world, some fairly large, and going to places like Japan, former Eastern European Bloc, and even a couple of islands in the South Pacific that I had never heard of. Funny you mention Spain as a hassle, becase the only hassles that I ever encountered were South and Central American sales. Something about the postal regs in Spanish/Latin countries doesn't seem in sync with the rest of the planet.

Yeah you'd think their regs were in spanish or something.

coyotejack: Yeah, the skies opened at some inopportune times when we were moving into this place, too, so I know how that goes. The public transportation set-up there sounds terrific, and as you note there's a plethora of options in terms of where to go and what to do compared to Anchorage. It sounds as if everything's been at least moved into the new place, so unpacking will hopefully be much more relaxed than the move was.
