Re: TFT custom dice
An interesting point. Now I have to go think about why... probably related to the traditional die pattern being based on two halves (2x2=4), with the megahex also having that three-fold symmetry (2x3=6, so every other pair has to flip whether the even or odd member of the pair has the center pip).

Re: TFT custom dice
I prefer the triangular 3 & 4.
matching to casino dice is not relevant to me. |

Re: TFT custom dice
While the megahex designs look easy to read with greyscale lines on a bright white background on a computer screen, I'll give odds of 7-12 against them looking that good on an actual die. Cluttered busy die faces get very difficult to read in reality.
Phil, and folks in the office, please apply some physical science and test this. Do a full-colour print out with each of the [presumably] pearlised colours you might use and with the chosen ink colour for the markings. Cut them out, assemble into cubes, and see how the mock-up looks in hand and not on a bright screen. I'm in favour of the numbers; I know I'll be able to read those dice!

We've made a custom die or two before, and we are using that experience on all of our upcoming dice designs. In this instance, we gave everyone a look at the _earliest_ possible stage in dice designs. What is seen in the images will absolutely not be an exact match for the final design.

Having played in games where I was given unreadable over-worked dice, I get twitchy.

Re: TFT custom dice
I agree. I also worry that the other design will be hard to read.
