    I like that story, Looks like as fake as the story of the internet troll being a lazy GM throwing a troll at every stupid question from their player, but that’s cool

    Nah dude, this is legit, I lived through the tail end of the satanic panic years, those FBI raids were no joke. We used to scatter a layer of d4s along the stairs leading the basement, right before the tripwire that releases a full paint can on a string. Every player was issued a smoke bomb before the start of the game so we could make a clean getaway while the officers were distracted.

        Ah, sorry. Is there coding to mark comments as NSFW, or do you mean applying the Spoiler coding to comments?

            i like the ones with a bottom face personally, but that might be because my first d4 was that way

              So is there a war between the number on top and the number on bottom d4?

                How would this work?

                I mean you could use a d8 with duplicate 1-4 numbers.

                Or a d12 with 1-4 three times, which is what I use for my d4s

                    D4s are annoying. They’re the only die without a top face, so it’s hard to read the number, and since the faces slant inwards it can be hard to pick them up.

                    On the other hand, it’s satisfying that the typical RPG dice contain the 5 platonic solids. If I had to play a game where a D4 was used often (unlike in say D&D where it’s rare), I’d probably go with one of the alternate D4 shapes. Even if you prefer platonic solids, you can just use an 8-sided die and renumber 5-8 as being 1-4 again.

                        I actually have a bag of metal D4s specifically becsuse then they can be used as caltrops or those things Betty wore to give him super strength in Kung Pow.

                              Can’t say for certain, but I originally nabbed it about 7 years ago, and there’s info about it being created by a ‘Larry’ in the file. Presumably Larry’s either the caltrop victim or their friend who snapped the photo.

                                  One fun fact about dice is you can have any higher faced die substitute for a lower faced one by rerolling any number not on the lower die.

                                  This is why I only carry a d100
