omg i never realized dreidels are d4s

[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 34 points 2 years 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."

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 13 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.

D4 D4 D4

I print with PLA

And when it's cool and ready

Min damage all damn day

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 66 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 28 points 2 years 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 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.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 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 🤨

[–] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Bye@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (4 children)

All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist

These are really cute, thank you!

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 34 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 11 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 (2 children)

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

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

I have long d3s

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 17 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 am very interested in those files, and would like to try them Out.

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

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would rather use D12s and round down

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)
[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 years 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 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 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

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

You pick the side that's face down.

[–] eleefece@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 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
[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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.
