Um, (raises hand to be recognized), the proper use of context is important in practicing safe speech and is a key to the prevention of Anally Inspired Dialogue Syndrome.

Sorry, In the effort to stay on topic(Or I guess off topic) for quotes out of context, I just had to post.

ive not got my second set of results.
as before i made 200 rolls each of 4 different dice at a time.
as before i rolled 3 AoS dice:
- "LB2" (Light Blue 2)
- "DB2" (Dark Blue 2)
- "R(Black)" (Red with Black Pips)

its worth noting that LB2 is from the same set as LB1, and DB2 was from the same set as DB1.

i also rolled a custom dice with "Bristol Brawl" on the 6 facing (it is ever so slightly smaller than our 16mm AoS dice), that was one of a bag full handed out at my local club (apparantly, they were bringing bad luck to their owner, so he disbanded them :P). i thought it would be interesting to see if it really was rolling low, and how it compared to our custom dice. this die was refered to as "BB" (Bristol Brawl).

here are the totals:

LB2:
1 = 27
2 = 40
3 = 28
4 = 39
5 = 31
6 = 35
Total = 200

DB2:
1 = 39
2 = 35
3 = 27
4 = 29
5 = 33
6 = 37
Total = 200

R(Black):
1 = 27
2 = 43
3 = 32
4 = 25
5 = 34
6 = 39
Total = 200

BB (NOT AoS):
1 = 39
2 = 39
3 = 24
4 = 39
5 = 28
6 = 31
Total = 200

hope that helps :)

We are coming up with some interesting data here. Here's the updated chart;

It would appear the the Bristol Brawl dice are indeed "rolling low". (C'mon ruffian, you know you want to 8) )
In nothing else, the dice all are close to the "mean" which should be 16.66% (the odds of any die coming up on any given number face) the most notable exception being Ben's AoS dice, voted "the set I would most want to use for a dangerous terrain or gets hot roll" :D

Other than that, it's time for me to call the hospital, see how Mom is doing, finish my glass of wine, and drift off to sleep. See you all (in a manner of speaking) tomorrow.

I did 400 rolls each for my blue AoS dice and a set (actually 3 tins worth) of GW WHFB dice yesterday. The AoS dice are the ones which "always bloody roll sixes" and the WHFB ones are a set consigned to the bin (well, not reall the bin) because they seemed to roll so badly.

I rolled 20 of each at a time onto my gaming table and made 20 rolls per set.

I'll post the results tonight if I can. I might then also do the same for a set of 20 Dragon's Tears dice and 20 of the small GW dice.
