Block Dice........

I answered this already somewhere else. Didn't you ask this before? You scatter the ball with it. You can also use it with a d6 to give you a d16.

Well my dice eventually sold for a wopping £12.03!!!

I reckon that it may well be worth doing simply as a free advert for the NAF.

Honest, if a set of NAF block dice were put up on ebay on a nine day auction with a load of very cool info, flash html and aluring links to the NAF then I think it would definately increase membership. So, maybe 3 packs worth of dice in one month. A reserve of $10 could be posted and I'm sure that it would go higher than that (£12 for Gods sake

) and then after one month check to see the traffic on the site and the number of new subscribers.

Hmm.

Maybe i should sell one of my extra sets.

But i'm keeping my black ones. For display purposes since they have the evil hex.

Bah ... you gotta believe in the dice. Faith is everything! You are a believer in Nuffle, brother, so you should understand! Dice are Nuffles representation on earth, so if you question them, you question Nuffle!

(Any theological or heretical implications to be discussed in the off-topic forum

)

I thought the same about my NAF dice, but stuck to them and at the T5:2 they lead me to victory! Ask my opponents (esp. Longshot or Trambi) if they felt that my NAF dice were cursed

I was in a teacher's supply store over the weekend when it hit me. I saw blank die there and thougtht about making my own. The question is, if I made up a batch of 100, would it violate GW copyright if I sold them on eBay. Anybody know the answer to this? I haven't seen them copyrighted, but I could've missed it.

I don't recall seeing the copyright anywhere, but I would imagine that they do have one. You could make a set for yourself with Goblin like designs and what not. Have a set of themed blocking dice for every team. I picked up some blank dice with this intention for my snotlings but i've never got around to it.

Mrin, GW legal would be all over you like a bad suit.
Little anecdote:
As UK NAF dude/dogsbody, I got given a 'one-off' pre-production amber test piece (Block die) at the BB to pass out as a prize. After a bit of dribbling from various coaches, it was duly passed on to Che before the prize giving..and ended up in the hands of Frank. GW being GW ( it really is vast!), AndyH knew nothing about this 'test piece' that came from the production dept (handed over surreptiously in Bugman's on Friday night, names obviously witheld

); and for a minute or two thought that the NAF were producing Block dice independently..bit of a flap apparently....fun though!

Really though, extremely unadvisable...

Right then, I'll have to play nice. I really dislike lawyers.... particularly when they have me in their sights. Good story though DW.
