I purchased custom SoB dice from chessex I've thought about rebuying them with the symbols on the 1 instead of the 6...its that bad.

If people are seriously worried about it, it's not that hard to run a chi squared test on the dice to make sure they're reasonably fair. Of course, no die is "perfectly" random, but most are close enough for gaming purposes.

The chi squared test isn't hard to do, just a pain to record the required rolls. The math's pretty simple.

Again, this is anecdotal.

Ahem.

-=Edit=- Ok, I guess it is a little unclear. Yes, we still do that periodically; I'll be doing another order in February in preparation for the folks going to Adepticon.
