omg i never realized dreidels are d4s
Imagine sitting at a game table and someone pulls out this bad boy for a roll.
"You encounter a grandma. Roll for gelt."
Natural 1, you klutz!
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
team purp forever. You look at the number on top to see what result you got on every other die, why change for d4s?
But it's not on the top, it's just near the top. I micro-etch the numbers in the vertices.
But then you don't have a D4 anymore; you've got a really unfair and mislabeled D8.
At least it's honest about how unfair it is.
If you can etch something into it, technically it's not a vertex.
Burn the blunt d4 people! Caltrop d4 is the only d4!
Look at this guy, loading his dice 🤨
What kind of blasphemy is that lighter blue die. Burn it.
All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist
These are really cute, thank you!
You might also get a kick outta these:
Aaand I now have an expensive die habit, thanks! :))
If you're commenting in this community, it was only a matter of time.
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.
I have long d3s
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 would rather use D12s and round down
You mean modulo?
They should band together and fight the ones where you have to pick up the die to see the number it landed on.
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.?
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
Are you supposed to pick the one facing you? Wtf it's so bad
You pick the side that's face down.
No, you're supposed to take the number you can't see (the one under the dice)
The bottom one has so much wasted space that could have made the numbers more clearly readable.
I'll see you and your side-numbers in hell
Tonight we dice in hell.
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.
