All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist

You might also get a kick outta these:

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Added a link to my origina comment!

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would rather use D12s and round down

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Nah, everything over 4 is 4. Rounded down like.

(D12 mod 4) + 1 uses two simple operations and uses whole numbers.

⌈D12 ÷ 3⌉ uses two more complex operations and relies on rationals, or worse, decimal approximations.
