Check out Esquire's list of The Seven Wonders of the Totalitarian World.

The new Seven Wonders of the World are nice. Too nice. These seven wonders aren't, celebrating the greatness that men do in the name of evil.

The dice that I thought had been stolen many years ago have been found.  I must have stashed them away and forgotten they were there.

My wife, while looking for something else, found a plain white box which held an old USA puzzle that I used to play with as a kid, some Yahtzee scorepads and a set of standard issue Yahtzee dice, and a whole bunch of polyhedrons.

The original red dice that came with the Basic D&D set are in there--the ones made of plastic so soft that the corners rounded off as you used them.  Plus two or three full sets of other polys that I used for DMing, and my special two sets, one white and one transparent--and set apart in a small leather dice bag, that I used when I was a PC instead of the DM.

Also there are 2d6 that are black with a skull and crossbones in place of the one-dot.  I don't remember where they came from.  I probably picked them up because they looked cool or something.

Now I guess I can start teaching the kids how to play Call of Cthulhu.
