[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 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."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Natural 1, you klutz!

[–] RQG 6 points 6 months ago

Everything is a d4 if you try hard enough.

D4 D4 D4

I print with PLA

And when it's cool and ready

Min damage all damn day

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

…i’ll accept bottom-numeral d4s from anyone still using fourty-year-old TSR dice, but there’s no other reasonable case for them…

[–] [email protected] 65 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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 31 points 6 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 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle 5 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

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

[–] Ledivin 4 points 6 months ago

Look at this guy, loading his dice 🤨

[–] Bye 29 points 6 months ago (5 children)

All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist

[–] Jilanico 26 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

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.

These are really cute, thank you!

[–] Jilanico 34 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You might also get a kick outta these:

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I'm personally a big fan of these.

[–] Arkaelus 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] grue 12 points 6 months ago

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

[–] Wootz 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I would rather use D12s and round down

[–] SpaceNoodle 10 points 6 months ago (4 children)
[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

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

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

[–] Jilanico 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] _stranger_ 8 points 6 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 4 points 6 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 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Jilanico 9 points 6 months ago

You pick the side that's face down.

[–] eleefece 6 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] themeatbridge 6 points 6 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Kill the apostates and burn all they held dear.

Our dice God is the only true dice god.
