Let us roll together friend!
Koplow 22mm dice are about two inches across.
Not gigantic but pretty big.
these say 3 inches
and these are six inches !!!
Good luck!
Perhaps instead of rolling a STR/CON/EtC check, you would be better off with a more party-centric random table.
Find yourself a D100 (you can get them on Amazon or many LFGS) and come up with a list of 100 party-themed actions/activities that would be fun but silly. (or just 20 if that's more to your tastes)
Let the GM keep the die, especially if its a d100 or a really nice one. Like This or a giant one like this
> I'm not saying that a single Chessex die is superior to a (perfectly polished) single GameScience die.
It's not even superior to a poorly polished one, which is my main point.
> foam dice
Just ordered this one. You've piqued my interest. I'll actually try that one out and see. Rolling a giant foam die could add some interesting flavour. (It was much more expensive than a GameScience die though.)
> GameScience dice where the sprue is imperfectly removed are systematically biased in a single direction: against 14.
If you mean how they're shipped from manufacturing, absolutely. If you mean someone who takes an X-acto knife and cuts it "pretty close" I would disagree... that's pretty much the system I used on my first GameScience die that I did the most test rolls with, and it removed the detectable bias away from 14 from the 5,000 roll test.
As for the "diagree" points:
> It is better to use multiple Chessex dice over one GameScience die (because they are more fair, and you also don't have to ink).
I actually agree with this one, as long as the Chessex die you roll is chosen randomly each time. This is basically agreement point #4 restarted. You also don't need to remove the sprue. Dump them in a bowl, pick one out to roll, then toss it back in.
> It is better to use a single Chessex die over a single GameScience die (because it is cheaper and close enough, and you also don't have to ink).
I agree with this one in that it is cheaper, and it is almost always close enough. As I said, I don't even suggest that my players switch to GameScience dice. They simply don't make enough rolls for anything except the most egregious bias to show themselves. As a DM though, the extra $1.50 and twenty minutes of time are well worth helping make the game more fair. I personally would have problems consistently choosing a random d20 from a bowl while rolling, and I don't mind spending the time for a single die I can trust.
EDIT: Just looked back at the threads and such to discover what, in fact, started this...
Here we go:
> If you want fair dice, stay away from GameScience. You have to clip and file down the sprue for their dice, and that introduces way more bias than typical tumbled dice.
That is false. First off, GameScience is more fair out of the box with the sprue than Chessex. Secondly, filing down the sprue reduces the bias significantly... basically it starts with less bias, end it ends up with even less.
Buy one of these. Hot-glue a stick in it.
