Yeah, a real d100 is just too impractical for actual gameplay. Super neat, but two d10s is far more usable.

We had one for our AD&D sessions and we'd definitely be using it. AFAIR it didn't necessarily roll for very long but it was a bit hard to make sure what numbers was really the one at the top. Still: it had a cool factor.
