    It’s four-sided, not two-sided. If that one counts, you can also just use a regular six-sided one and just put three ‘ones’ and three ‘twos’ on it.

    It has two sides. They’re curved, and it doesn’t stay on the curve part, so you can effectively use it as a d4, but it’s still only two-sided.

    Sort of like how you can flip a Mobius strip like a coin and it will land one of two ways, but it still only has one side.

      I like how you’d be rolling two d10’s, and then completely ignoring one of them.

        Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.

        That extremely rare, almost-never chance of landing on the edge is exactly what I would program into a game if I made one, instead of exactly 50% odds.

            It has only 1 corner, and 2 surfaces, making it 2 sided. The 2 sides just happen to be curved

              Well, but it also has to stay on its edge, and that’s a lot less likely…

                      This gave me an idea for a gimmick die. Transparent die filled with dark liquid. The exterior of the die has the usual numbers in white lettering. Inside the die, there is a smaller cork die that rises like a magic 8ball. It’s 2d(x) in 1. Interesting for tension building, if nothing else.

                      Edit: looked it up and I’m not original, and they’re largely as bad as I thought they’d be

                                        One of my overdue projects is to disassemble a magic 8 ball, remove the dice from it and make a digital magic 8 ball. I plan to bequeath the removed “dice” to a DM I know.

                                          You have to wait for it to finish rolling up if it lands with a value on the down side.
