I picked up a set of these to use with DCC.  Overall the dice are nice.  I think I like the Game Science a little better, but they also do not make a D30.  So if you want a set has matching dice, I'm afraid you cannot have a matching Game Science set.  The only issue I have with this set is that the D24 for example has very rounded sides so it can roll forever or until it rolls off your table.  I made and use a dice tray, which solved this problem.  I actually really like the D4 design.  Read the number from the top as opposed to the top or bottom of a die face.

The dTotal is a 30-face die.

One thing I forgot to do while at Origins was look for lots of cheap miniatures.  #:-)

It's alright. You were pretty fixated on Munchkin.

I guess the question is why the hell would they not produce a D30 then to complete their zocchi dice sets.  I think the DTotal is very cool, but I wonder about its practicality.

very good first question

and for the second - "none"
That thing is huge, and the edges are rounded enough that I'm not sure it'll stop rolling w/o a dice tray or something to stop it.
