Lou Zocchi, the founder of #Gamescience, wasn't much of a #TTRPG guy himself, but he made a huge contribution to our hobby by making everyone's #dice collection a little weirder. Some insufficient highlights from his long life in the dice business:

Remember "The D4 That Rolls"? It was a d8 that was numbered 1 - 4 twice. They were old enough that I had to fill in the numbers with those special thick colored crayons.

And I always wanted to get a Dragonbone, but never did.

@Quasit That one's a good example of the other half of Zocchi's #dice business -- he'd buy out the stock of failed dice companies and sell them to us weirdo dice collector. The d7 and d50 #Gamescience sold also started at other companies.
