The picture above doesn't do them justice, but I finally replaced the ten-sided tens GEM die that got stolen from me some ten years ago.  Ten seems to be a theme here.  Anyway, I got two clear ones and a red one, all ten-sided, tens dice.  Ahhh... I am such a nerd.

Anyway, if you're interested, that is the number to the place that fulfilled the order - Gamescience.

I'd like to bring your attention to a reference that may have been missed in the past.  This is an image from the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual of the skeletal structure of a runabout - a workhorse vehicle designed to use modules:





This, is the picture of the starship from Star Control II, a video game from back in the day.  It is described as a workhorse vehicle which is customizable by adding and rearranging... modules.  Interesting.



I figured you'd like that.  In my fantasy world, everyone is interested in the same things as I am.
