Is leaf-trafficking illegal now too? :shock: What kind of customs officials would stoop so low?

At the risk of heading way off topic, Australian quarantine rules are extremely strict. Our crops are virtually disease and parasite free compared to many other nations because we're an island (albeit a very big one) and so the Customs and Quarantine guys work extremely hard to keep it that way. With crops worth billions of dollars at risk by some microscopic fungus or whatever, I am happy for them to be so vigilant.

Anyway, I've ordered some more dice but this will be the last time this year (we might do something different next year, not sure).

My fault, and I sincerely apologise :(

Just to put the last word on this 'Off Topic' subject, the show I watch is called 'Nothing To Declare' and I honestly think all nations could learn a thing or 1000 from the Australian Customs Department !!!

No more comments on this please, keep it to Dice Related posts.

Had an update from the Dice company this morning. The dice are being painted and will be ready for shipping to me later this week. So those of you that missed out last time, start saving your pennies!

Hmmm, and I have some jars of pennies. €2.50 at the last count! :-D
That's what, 2 dice?

What's Dagorlad got up his sleeveses for Christmas, Preciousss?
Some buddies of mine (not gamers but interested in the films and books) saw the dice and were overcome with jealousy as they are uber-cool and unique. I fought them off and checked that none of the items had absconded from the premises (and now I have to hide them!)

I won't say what I have in mind for the end of the year in case it all falls through.

And I am sorry that some of you missed out on the dice again. We have sold over 700 dice is a very short space of time, which is astounding. I wasn't sure if I would even sell half that many.

We will do some more dice next year though, probably faction-based I think.
