Well, I would think you have a comic store near you that would likely have such items.
Otherwise I'm sure it would be a snap to find an online store that would sell them

I did a search last night and didnt find anything. chessex dosent make em. most of the other results were casino, craps, and history of dice. the history was pretty neat to read

i guess ill go to the comic store and see if he will order em for me...if there are any

Have you tried doing a search under games like M:TG? I vaguely recall a group of those sites selling a ton of different dice several years ago.

On-line Yellow Pages.
Did they have what you're looking for? If not, they might know where you can find them....

@Rob-hin & Taco
I play P&P.
@Taco
If you have a Wizards of the Coast store (store of the company that owns the D&D license) near you, I would check them out. If there isn't one near you, check their website.
I was in one yesterday and only saw big d20s, but that doesn't mean they don't sell other types.

Taco whatever you do dont play the mistake of being good. Be evil. The rewards are much better...

What quests are you guys playing?
I'm playing Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. We're on a summer break though so I'm taking the time to write my own quest.

I'm lucky to have a city like exeter so close to me, Krackers stock the larger dice in a few colours. They are a devon only firm, but I only found about them from an old D&D player, ask arround your town/place/city/state/wahtever and see if anyoone knows.

I play in two games. One is a weekly game in the DM's own world. The other is a monthly all-nighter where we are working our way through the Temple of Elemental Evil as well. I've only died twice so far in that game...
100th post!

Yeah, I lost my 'half elf druid with a personality disorder' by astab in the back. Didn't matter much since it's a combat orientated quest anyway, with hardly any roleplaying... that and druids suck.
Didn't die yet with my new gnome wizard. He basicly kicks ass from a distance so doesn't het hurt much.
The quest is starting to bore us btw... but we have to finish since my quest isn't done yet.
Congrats on the 100

Have you switched over to 3.5 yet? If so, what do you think?
I've had an elven fighter/mage killed by a shambling mound, a paladin killed by a giant water elemental, and I'm currently playing a gnome thief.
My gnome wears big flashy jewelry and has a gold tooth (we refer to him as a "bling bling" gnome).
Why are you getting bored with the quest? Too much dungeon crawling? We are having a good time, but I don't even think we are half way through it. I'm curious where you are in the quest (but no spoilers, please!

)

We are in the Temple of all consumption now too. But we, probely just like you, have no idea what we are doing in there. All we know is that we want to find something out in there.
That is one thing I don't like about it. That and the dungeon is just to damn big. Little roleplaying too, to much hack 'n slash.
We were fighting that water elemental too, but due to ...erm... an out of game conflict we have to re-do that fight. Nothing serious though. So I guess we're about at the same part of the story.
What do I think about 3.5?
I like it. All kinds of small changes making it better. Problem is that one has to buy those new books and all.

But I don't mind if they last a long time. To bad my Tome and blood class book was written in 3e rules too... like many of the other books out there.
