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

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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"You encounter a grandma. Roll for gelt."

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago

Natural 1, you klutz!

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year 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…

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 66 points 1 year 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@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Look at this guy, loading his dice 🤨

[–] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Bye@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist

These are really cute, thank you!

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You might also get a kick outta these:

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I'm personally a big fan of these.

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

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I have long d3s

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 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

I'll upload them somewhere when I get home from work. What's a suitable file host these days?

EDIT: Added a link to my original comment

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I am very interested in those files, and would like to try them Out.

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 1 year ago (1 children)

I would rather use D12s and round down

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)
[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Hologram projecting dice

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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.

Kill the apostates and burn all they held dear.

Our dice God is the only true dice god.
