vaQqu'!
For those interested, I found an undated note from qurgh on another set of
{HomHomDu'} with a different set of number symbols in my notes:
Yesterday I got back from the North American Game Expo, Origins.
One of the dealers was Decipher. Decipher is the license holder
for the current Star Trek roleplaying game and had a demo game
you could play. One of the freebies they were giving away for
playing was a set of dice, Klingon dice with {pIqaD} numbers on
them. They weren't the same as the ones the KLI uses and I asked
about them, and was told by one of the game designers that the
numbers they used were approved and authorized by Paramount.
They gave the numbers 1 to 6 as {pIqaD} on the inside of the
front cover of the demo game book. The {pIqaD} symbols are made
up of 3 different components: a -, a slightly angled |, and a (
rotated 90 degrees clockwise [?] the URL for the scanned in
picture is
</klingdicesmall.jpg>/klingdicesmall.jpg
BTW, the URL qurgh gave still works.
(Anyone know when the "North American Game Expo, Origins" took place? I'd
like to date qurgh's note. Thanks.)
