Man, I hate d100s. The only two I've ever found that were worth anything were a weird model that was shaped like a barrel, meant to be rolled on one axis; the faces were bigger than ordinary so it was easier to stop, and another one that was a foot in diameter. It was made out of cardboard and you'd roll it on the floor. We always used to just roll 5d20 + 1d6 and subtract 5. If the d6 showed a 6, we'd reroll. Mathematically it's identical, but it's much less of a headache. Do they still use d100s, or were they phased out at some point?
