Hell, many of my opaque Chessex speckled dice are also difficult to read, if the die colors don't contrast enough with the ink color.

I like having a good movie (or a cheesy movie) on while painting. I realized that I had to keep lifting them up, taking a look at the mini, and then applying paint. Then I'd put them back on and watch a bit more of the movie while waiting for the new paint to dry.<br><br>I tried again a month or so ago and it was even worse. Coulod barely get anything out of the movie at all. Interestingly this was about a week after an opthamologist told me I wouldn't need bifocals for several more years.<br><br>Now let me get back to my rocking chair.
