neat, i want a mine d20 now too

>>54937370
What is the dice guardian guarding against and how effective is he?

>>54937724
he guards against bad rolls in critical situations
not very, he doesn't fit in the box so i have to leave him home and i get shit rolls every game

>>54937796
isn't that cheating? i wouldn't play with anybody who used one. defeats the purpose of using dice

>>54937811
he keeps the bad rolls away only in critical situations
plus his guarding comes as an aura that saves everyone in his reach

he's locked in an endless battle where only good rolls remain where the GM's malice would've killed us

>>54936625
I always wanted something like this, though I imagined it would be a small ball with a screen on it that's weighted down on the other side so it would always roll screen facing upwards to report the roll.

Bags are overrated. I use Altoid-style mint tins and they're perfect.

>don't have to worry about dice squeaking out the opening into your bag if a drawstring gets too loose
I think a lot of the hype around dice bags is the result of memes and lack of options. The drawstring on my last bag failed, and I had a bunch of these tins lying around, and ever since then I haven't looked back. Bags are wack.

Lid is held on with neodymium magnets, foam glued in to keep the dice from falling out of place. Lid detail could've been done a little cleaner, I wish I had simply cut out the outline of the logo.

Game Science. Don't get Chessex or Q-Workshop dice. They're weighted poorly and roll awful. If you want some sort of specialty dice, look on Kickstarter. PolyHero dice are unique and weighted very well. I have the warrior set and it's by far my favorite to use, and my rolls are pretty evenly distributed.

>>54942440
Oh and if you don't mind mediocre quality dice, get them off of AliBaba. You can get a Chessex quality set of metal die for less than $20. You can see my set of them in >>54943482. They're the bronze ones on the left hand side. Though I still recommend the PolyHero dice.

>>54943613
>implying
Chessex dice are fun if you buy transparent or translucent ones. They make sure not to have bubbles in there because they'd be visible.

Hey guys!

I'm in the middle of creating a first prototype for my board game idea. It's a skirmish/arena combat game and you use dice for attacks and spells to determine damage. There are 4 different types of dice. Worst to best they are: Yellow, orange, red, purple
During the game you can upgrade your attacks/spells so they use better dice.

I'd like your opinion on this. On how I want the dice values to be. They are all d6 by the way.

>yellow
0-1-1-1-2-2
>orange
1-1-1-2-2-2
>red
1-1-2-2-2-3
>purple
1-2-2-2-3-3

For example the Lightning Bolt attack would start out that you roll a yellow and orange die. By upgrading it you'd roll 2 orange dice. Next upgrade 1 orange and 1 red etc. Or you could also add another yellow die instead of upgrading.

Please let me know what you think or if you have ideas!

>>54942956
>>54941455
They do smell kind of minty when you open the tin, sometimes, but that's about it. Who gets hungry for mints? They're just mints.

>>54943613

Or use a dice tray. Poorly-weighted dice can't find their equilibrium unless they roll a certain amount. The less a die rolls around, the more random it is (or rather, the more its initial conditions determine the result, rather than its center of gravity).

Anyone know of a place that has decent size, custom D6s?

I've been needing to get my group a bulk set of dice, but I'm having difficulty finding the right amount (50-100-ish?) in just a single color. They're all in either random colors per die, or sets of 7.

Why does it need to be a single color?

I know lots of people claim they're OCD for trivial shit, but I think I actually am. This shit would legitimately ruin my enjoyment if I tried to ignore it.

>>54949836

Fair enough I suppose. Unfortunately I don't think many sellers have that level of ocd in mind when they sell dice. My suggestion is to find somewhere that sells dice singles, and just get what you want that way, though it will be much more expensive than just buying bulk dice.

>>54949874

More specifically, buy multiple sets of a single color, and then buy single dice of dice you might want spares of.

This thread is perfect.

Is there something wrong with being a dicemonk?

My five-year old daughter grabbed my blank dice (intended to be converted to fudge dice) and a marker. I ended up with these four dice:

#1: 1-6
#2: 7-12
#3: 13-18
#4: 19-24

I've been trying to think up some sort of game mechanic that uses those dice.

>>54944114
not the thread for this, except for one point: yellow/orange/red/purple will have serious colorblindness issues among tritanopics (appearing as pink/red/red/red).

>>54960817
There's a couple of systems where your stat number determines what die you roll, so with some extra math tweaking you could probably do something similar with these. Maybe add a system to spend some sort of bonus point or a stunt mechanic to increase the die type.

So a bruiser guy would have Body 3, Mind 1, Spirit 2, and 3 boost points per session.

>>54946684
I think I got them from AliBaba. You can get cheap metal dice sets on there for ~$20, but they aren't the one's I would recommend, balance-wise they're on par with Chessex dice. If you see my silver dice there, those are my (second) favorites. I got them from this KS: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1006691271/foam-brain-metal-d20-pins years ago. If you reach out to the store, you might be able to get a set of them shipped to you. They're heavy enough that I could probably kill someone with them if I put them in a bag and cracked them over the skull, and they're balanced as well as GameScience dice. On the KS they had some that had gold plating too, so you might be able to get those. My recommendation for well weighted, unique dice still goes to the Warrior set from PolyHero though.

>>54947652
Those are nice, but as someone else pointed out you'll need to roll on something soft. Maybe get a playmat for cardgames to roll on.

My intention at the end of my life is to have my organs removed and the cavities in my body filled with dice, becoming a dice lich or mummy. Also to fuck with future anthropologists.

Eerily similar to my rookie dice I use for sessions with new players. Its much easier for them to grasp "Roll the white one"

I am extremely jealous of your purple crystal caste dice, I tried for so long to find a full, single colour set of the crystal dice and could only find a hybrid set. They are incredibly jank and terrible to play with, but I love how stupid they are and want a full set.

I keep considering buying colour-coded dice for my newer players in bulk, but I have never been able to find a place that sells them like that without a large price hike (other than for d6s).

I tried ebay and got some plain coloured ones from school supply sellers. They use them for maths and probability stuff. The rest where just from the kilos of dice I have laying around.

I just bulk bought packs of educational dice. Cheaper than store ones, all the dice of the same size are the same colour, and the storage container they come with makes it easy to tell what you are missing.

However, it does make me feel like I'm going out to teach retards basic addition. So you know- reality.

Why would you need to underline the six on a die without a nine

The engraver is likely used for doing a number of different dice and they have just set up the one pattern on the machine

I could never decide which color I wanted for which die :(
