All -

Does anybody have information concerning the RPGA Network Alignment Generators (two six-sided dice) that the RPGA sold via catalog back in the early 80s?  I've read on these forums that they've been confirmed to exist - but not much else.  I'm curious to see if they came loose or in some kind of package, and if there were any variations.  The image I've included below is from the back of a Polyhedron magazine (item c is the dice).

ask for and ye shall receive !


** expired/removed eBay auction **


edit: the photo in the magazine shows two white dice which may not have been the final product. I haven't seen that many of these sets so I'm not sure if they only were released in black and white pairs.

Hmmm.  That pic looks an awful lot like dice that Flying Buffalo and/or Chessex used to sell too.  I think I used to (still do?) have a set of those dice, but I'm pretty sure that didn't get them from the RPGA.

that was the picture that the French seller had with his auction a couple years ago. Maybe he took a photo of the wrong dice? I don't own a set.
The seller is still on Acaeum, right?
