dice

I've started playing D&D again, and in doing so I've learned to embrace my inner nerd once again.

So in my obsession with steampunk, the anacronistic, dirty, and slightly evil, I decided to create my own set of bones.  Part of this quest involved finding a non Arabic numeral system that I could hand etch or ink onto the faces of an icosahedron (d20). Roman numerals are too big for 18 & 19 (XVIII & XIIX), so I chose the Mayan numeral system which is base 20. I think I'll do away with the Roman numerals entirely on the next set and use just Mayan. And instead of inking the numerals I'll try to etch them. For those who are curious, bars = 5 and dots = 1; numerals are constructed virtically, with bars at the base.
