Re: New piecepack components? Dice cards and paper dice

["kevineagles72" <KevinEagles72@...>]

I would be interested in both the standard card pack for the 
piecepack, as well as for your JCD pack with the 8 suits...

I like the secondary value of yours, as it would add another 
dimension for designers to use. What I really like though is the bit 
pattern, and would like to see it taken to 7 places with a full JCD 
set...
