Hello funsters, I just learned that Kaplow Games, one of the main manufacturers of polyhedral dice, started making a 24-sided die! It's the most mundane of the four d24's -- the one you get by building a square pyramid on each face of a cube (the "tetrakis hexahedron"). But it's still pretty cool. I clearly need to buy a bunch of these. In fact, I'm giving my "What are all the fair dice?" talk at Wellesley on Monday, and I'd love to have some of these to show off then. Kaplow is a wholesaler only, located in Boston. They are happy to sell to educators and the like, but only if you meet their usual minimum order of $150. A box of 50 24-sided dice is $30 wholesale, and probably twice that retail. So... is there anyone else out there interested in a bulk order of 50 geometrically interesting (but all identical) dice? (I could imagine buying two boxes myself, at a stretch, but surely not five.) If not, I can get a local game store to order them for me and pay retail, of course. The picture of the box of d24's is on their web site, at http://koplowgames.com/page54.html It's in the upper-right corner. Next to it, by the way, are boxes of 30-sided dice... I already own a large bag of those, but if someone wants both 24s and 30s, we'd reach the threshold that much sooner, I suppose. If you are interested, please answer quickly, since I'd like to have these in hand on Monday, and I'll want to order through my local gaming store soon if there's not enough interest to buy wholesale. --Michael Kleber kleber@brandeis.edu
