Icosahedron Shape Bowl!

[briarfriar]

It's possible the pipe on top has been sold already, but these beauties were available from LJ Peretti. An icosahedron is a 20-sided Platonic Solid. Made by Nick Johnson. $300 each.

(I have no connection to any sale of any pipe.)

Is there such a thing as a 20 sided dice?

Looks like a doubling block in backgammon.

Any day I can learn a new word is a good day. What a pipe!

Is there such a thing as a 20 sided dice?

Yes! Dungeons and dragons popularized it from the eighties onward. The yellow stem band on these pipes is an acrylic 20 sided die.

These look great! I love the idea. Dodecahedron too.

Interesting but more gimmicky than great.

I cast a strong Lakeland! The troll dies.

Is there such a thing as a 20 sided dice?

And a 100 sided one.

For some reason the multi-sided bowl reminds me of the old IBM Selectric typewriter that had an interchangeable typewriter ball for different type faces and many facets for lower case, caps, numbers, punctuation, etc. For about 25 years, that was the be-end-all of typing, just as desktop computers (word processes so-called) appeared. Now the Selectric is a relic. Typewriter collectors like the pre-electric manuals better. I really miss the bang-bang-bang-ding of the old portable manual I used. Percussion, a lovely sound.

I love the idea. Sadly, that pipe failed its charisma check and I passed my will save so I will not be buying it.

Name of that geometric shape?

Name of that geometric shape?

A zocchihedron isn't it? I think that's what the die was called. We always called them the percentile golf ball.

I'm not in the market for such a thing, but for the right pipe smoker, that's pretty impressive.

Interesting, in an I-admire-it-but-I'm-not-paying-$300-for-it-no-way sort of way.

Bucky Fuller would be proud.
