SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/25/2020 9:16 pm @USSID spiked head die cracks are also just die cracks. Just as spitting horses, extra cactus leaves, snowy roofs, leaky buckets, cracked skulls, etc. Are all just named die chips and cracks. I say call it whatever you want if the name makes sense.
