Rick, Does being separate from everyone make me a nobody? ;-)I (obviously) do not have a problem with different types of dice. My only real 'pet peeve' is those darn pyramidal d4's - I cannot grab a handful of them at a time because of the shape. If I ever find a bunch of the double numbered d8's at a reasonable price I will buy them.
As far as numbers of dice to throw at a time, I am getting less and less enamored with the 'bucket of dice' syndrome, although I have designed a system around it myself. Personally I like to see an upper limit placed on the number of dice thrown at a time - that number is not fixed, but should probably be what will fit in one hand.

Hi Everyone, Martin, In Martin's post on his game system he mentioned a problem with multiple types of dice:... They hated having to roll different sized dice for every roll in the game!Steve Jackson wrote that he disliked all the different types of dice in D&D so he designed TFT using only six sided dice. It was nice that he picked the cheapest type of dice for his game system, but I always had a sneaking suspicion that he was missing out on some of the 'toy enjoyment' that many and various types of dice give. What is everyone's feelings about different types of dice? (Asking this of the TFT list is likely not the place to get the big "LOTS OF DICE!" response...)
