   True.  I don't have much like that anymore since my dice were stolen   
   (along with my minis, which hurts more.)   
      
   I do have a purple d20 that seems to like to roll 17 a lot.  And I have   
   a large number of tiny red d6s I bought for champions that seem to roll   
   a little bit on the high side.   
      
   But using actual dice is pretty rare for me now, when I rarely play or   
   DM it's roll20's RNG.
