Gee when I was 10 no one had ever heard the name Atari, and video
games were called Pinball. But there was this hot new thing called
pong. It was sorta like playing tennis on a television. Then again D&D
didn't really exist then it was called chainmail.
I think I'm starting to feel old now


->How do you read a D4 anyway? Is it the number missing on the die, or
->what? Why can't they just put a number on it... instead of 3? :P

You read the number that is at either the top of the pyramid it will
be the same for all 3 sides showing. sometimes they put it on the top
and sometimes they put it on bottom but it will be the only number in
the same position on all three visable sides. alternatively look at
the bottom side, the number rolled will be missing from that side.
