I never have, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't someday.

Bit of RPG trivia: In GURPS, all attacks, skill checks, etc. are made 
with 3D6, attempting to roll under the target number. Hence, if whoever 
owned these dice was playing GURPS with them, the three sixes would be a 
critical failure. Perhaps he should have been more careful about who he 
lets his other dice associate with... ;)

Cool idea. An interesting thing about this picture. At home, where my
monitor is a bit darker, the evil dice seem to be surrounding the
brightest "1" die and programming that die with evil glowing energy.
Here at work on a brighter monitor. The nice dice seem to be surrounding
and diminishing the evil dice. Cool pic either way.

And don't forget the D8 (macro available), D10 (looks like 2 5-sided 
pyramids base to base turned 36 degres) and D20 (macro available). Look 
in "shapes.inc"

Unless these macros include rounded edges and numbered faces, they're 
useless to me; I could try to modify them, but again, my trig may not be 
up to the task.

Perhaps there is an evil radiosity setting that might help add more 
e-vile to it!!!
