Note, however, that 7-sided die are hard to come by, and some consideration should be made for rolling a standard set of two 6-sided dice. [[Beacon Hall Archive]] officers can procure a rust-flecked die with darkened pips (7-sided, marked with a wheel) and a stone-hued die with grey pips (6-sides, marked with a dial) that make playing the game easier.

	The Flinger was released in November, 2014. The idea was formed circa 2004 when a group of players were fooling around in the [[River's Rest, Town Commons\|town commons]] and one lamented there was no flinger with which to toss a notoriously annoying local gnome to the mainland. The idea quickly became a regular theme in roleplay in the Rest, with the original gnome threatened with it even claiming to be in the process of building one himself for several years until GM Xayle pushed the idea forward into a reality, crediting [[User:GS4-VANAH\|GM Vanah]] with ~~tougher~~ aspects of mechanical coding.

It is not recommended to bring a corpse via [[Animate Dead (730)]] into the flinger following you and try to fling their dead body after disconnecting with them. Once you leave a body in the flinger, there will be essentially no way to get it out. For obvious reasons, the exact details of this point have not been fully tested.
