I someone posted a pic of this awesome D20 Player Selector I he made.

It fell a bit flat 'cause the running discussion of double doors went on and then the forum page turned, but I still think it is worth a second look and would be ineterested in a comment or two.

I know. Even on the season 3 kickstarter, people were asking for them. I have found a site this morning that does sell the gaming night kits for £30. But it only has 1 left in stock. Not really sure if they do get a lot or just one at a time. Thiago was a surprise. I didnt think that kit was even due out for another few months.

Can you link me that site? I'm pretty sure Bill isn't supposed to be out yet. Thiago was in kit #2, Bill is #3. I did manage to get a box of Mr. Phals kit #4. But zombicide's website still says #2 and #3 are "coming soon". #2 has been popping up here and there in the US, but not yet in EU as far as I know, so let alone kit #3...

Chaos goblin and chaos orc. Two more cool new monsters that can be used with just the standard game.

Primed my mantic skeletons and revenants today. Did my zombies and ghouls done yesterday. Got my dwarves, a few at least, glued together and based. They get primed tomorrow. Still trying to figure out their Color scheme. So many little bits leftover. Must find a use for them now. Pushing to get them done since classes start next week and ill be inundated with life. Long live summer!

That D20 is pretty cool. It lands right when rolled? It looks like it needs to stand on one of the stems.

Wow, someone noticed! you saved my day!
Thanks for the kind words.
No, it doesn't land on a blossom (these are blossoms not stems)- the blossoms are the vertices of the icosahedron, so it lands on a triangle of three blossoms. The image is not a photo, but a cumputer rendering. I have constructed the die this way (i.e. with a vertex pointing up) just because it was easier to do on the computer screen.

Did you read the description I gave on the Shapeways site?
Well, I can as well copy it here:

This is a 20-sided die, aka D20, as used in many role-playing and other games.

It is based on the inner skeleton of the icosahedron, making use of the interesting fact that this platonic solid has three inner "golden" rectangles perpendicular to each other formed by connecting it's vertices. By using the long sides of these rectangles and some of the outer edges of the icosahedron, I found a regular continuous line connecting all vertices.

In the current realisation I interpreted this line as a rose tendril (Sleeping beauty being my favorite fairy tale and after all, fantasy games are based on fairy tales).
The tendril and blossoms form a perfectly regular die. A certain irregualrity may be caused by the numbers, wich of course are different in size (and therefore in weight).

It has not been printed before, so if you order it, I cannot guarante that it will be printable in your preferred material. If not, you will get a note from shapeways and your money refunded. Please notify me of your experiences, so I can update the material list.
I would recommend trying a steel material, as plastic is probably too lightweight for actual use as a die.

I have added only one € (less then 10%) for myself to Shapeway's price at the steel materials.

I could tell that it was a rose, but I just meant that it looked like it was being balanced on there and it didn't look like it would actually do that in a roll. It looks pretty good. Complex too.

That's GNK#1, not 3. No Bill, only Kyoko. I have box #1. I'm waiting for box #2 with Thiago (austin powers). Thanks for the link
