Fifth Frontier War dice

[Brianw]

How about Fifth Frontier War faction dice? Imperial and Zhodani at first and maybe others later.

 

[Ewan]

Thats an excellent idea

By the way, the Zhodani dice...
wouldn't they always roll exactly what you want them to? Alternatively you already know the result before you roll...

Alternatively:

All sides are the Zhodani Trefoil, leading to massive confusion as to why it always rolls "3s".

Brings up an interesting point... I've never seen Vilani numerals or any Zhodani alphabet(if that's what they use) or numerals.

You don't understand . . . the "Trefoil" is a conceptual meditative focusing symbol . . .

It doesn't always roll 3s . . .

It always rolls exactly what I've always told you that it rolls . . .

1. Beginning Zdetl
2. Vilani Language Reference, 5th ed.

Only had Edition 4.4, not 5 of the Vilani reference, and unless I just can't see what's in front of me, I think it only has names, not symbols for numerals.
As for Zdetl, thanks for the link. I was looking for that earlier, and now I've ordered myself a paperback of the Beginning book and the dictionary. While that runs through the postal service, anyone know if that has character (like written characters) or just words?

Or, at least for Vilani (like apparently for Chinese and Japanese), did Arabic numerals (probably called 'Solomani numerals' by the 57th Century) prevail?

It has its own writing system, an Alphabet, not an Abjad nor Syllabary. And it does have glyphs for numerals as well.

Is there any suggested art work?
Like, are the pips going to be miniaturized outlines of imperial, Zhodani, Sword worlds, Vargr and/or Darrian warships?

 

[Brianw]

I assumed the national logo on the 6s, but capital ships might work too. Though they may be hard to make out on a standard d6.

except if you go that route, your opponent will know you are cheating. Maybe the game of craps becomes a contested telekinesis roll?
