[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Imagine sitting at a game table and someone pulls out this bad boy for a roll.

"You encounter a grandma. Roll for gelt."

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 11 months ago

Natural 1, you klutz!

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Everything is a d4 if you try hard enough.

Now I'm not racist but...

... people that prefer the bottom number are a blight upon the world and should be sterilized and forced in to education camps.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You're permitted to speak your mind, as long as your rhetoric does not become conduct, but I find your ideas despicable and you are a pox on the University.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

They just spoke their mind and you call him a pox on the Universe. That's typical light blue dicer rethoric right there. You should be ashamed of yoursef! What are you, against free speech?

team purp forever. You look at the number on top to see what result you got on every other die, why change for d4s?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago (4 children)

But it's not on the top, it's just near the top. I micro-etch the numbers in the vertices.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But then you don't have a D4 anymore; you've got a really unfair and mislabeled D8.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

At least it's honest about how unfair it is.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

If you can etch something into it, technically it's not a vertex.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Burn the blunt d4 people! Caltrop d4 is the only d4!

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Look at this guy, loading his dice 🤨

[–] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 27 points 11 months ago

What kind of blasphemy is that lighter blue die. Burn it.

[–] Bye@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (5 children)

All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist

These are really cute, thank you!

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 34 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You might also get a kick outta these:

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

I'm personally a big fan of these.

[–] Arkaelus@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aaand I now have an expensive die habit, thanks! :))

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

If you're commenting in this community, it was only a matter of time.

[–] Hossenfeffer 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

How are these not more of a thing? So much better than caltrops.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I had a set of what I thought was long dice, turns out it's called barrel dice, like these

The d20 didn't really work, it was hard to read and took forever to stop if you let it roll. But we played MERP, which is a d100 system, so the d20 was mostly there to tinker with.

I designed and modeled some rollability-optimized d4s years ago. They were based on reuleaux tetrahedra, with flat sections of the faces for numbers.

I never got further than printing them, but they rolled well.

I don't know why I'm writing this, but if anybody wants the files, let me know.

EDIT: Here's a printables link with the parts: https://www.printables.com/model/680575-reuleaux-d4-dice

Someone should make one of those "I need a die with only four sides - WORDS FROM THE ABSOLUTELY DERANGED" memes

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would rather use D12s and round down

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (4 children)
[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 11 months ago

Nah, everything over 4 is 4. Rounded down like.

They should band together and fight the ones where you have to pick up the die to see the number it landed on.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Alternatively, what if you had a hole where all the vertices are and had a projector in the dice project the number onto the ceiling.?

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Hologram projecting dice

I wanted to burn this thing the moment I saw it, and it took me a few seconds to figure out why

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Are you supposed to pick the one facing you? Wtf it's so bad

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

You pick the side that's face down.

[–] eleefece@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

No, you're supposed to take the number you can't see (the one under the dice)

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 11 months ago

The bottom one has so much wasted space that could have made the numbers more clearly readable.

[–] negativenull@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago
[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll see you and your side-numbers in hell

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Wait I though we were at Greg's house tonight. Damn it, I told you all I'm not on the group text, guys.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Kill the apostates and burn all they held dear.

Our dice God is the only true dice god.
