[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"You encounter a grandma. Roll for gelt."

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years ago

Natural 1, you klutz!

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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?

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 60 points 2 years 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 26 points 2 years ago (3 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 10 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Look at this guy, loading his dice 🤨

[–] Bye@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (4 children)

All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist

These are really cute, thank you!

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

You might also get a kick outta these:

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I'm personally a big fan of these.

[–] Arkaelus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I have long d3s

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmmm, for 3d models i personally prefer printables. For anything else i just use a git lab repository.

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

Excellent point. I'll stick 'em on printables.

Added a link to my origina comment!

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

And also completely useless.
Just roll a 120-sided die, divide the result by 30 and round up.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years 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_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You pick the side that's face down.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] negativenull@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago

Kill the apostates and burn all they held dear.

Our dice God is the only true dice god.
