Does anyone remember the d20's of the late 80's ? The ones that what ever number was on top, i.e. 10.... it's counterpart would be on the opposite side ( 20 ). Say you rolled a 7, upon picking the die up the 17 would be on the opposite side of the dice. What I am wondering is this....... why was that style done away with and are there any either still in production or can be purchased somewhere ? Thanks for any and all input in advance

So for example the opposite sides on a D20 should add up to 21. So the opposite side of 7 should be a 14, 20 - 1, 19-2, 18-3, ect. This is the case for all dice excpet d4's. Not sure of their situation.
