Caltrops

Unfortunately we’re still stuck with caltrops as the standard d4 shape when so many better options exist
better options exist
Standardising on D6 only?

That’s actually a tough choice, I like having a variety of shapes for my click clacks but I despise the caltrop d4
Edit: I’ve thought about it, and if I had to choose between a “standard” dice set with tetrahedron d4, or only a pool of d6s, I would choose the dice set and try to avoid ever using a d4.

How would this work?
I mean you could use a d8 with duplicate 1-4 numbers.

The original d20s doubled as d10s. They came uninked and you were instructed to use two different colored markers to mark one set of 1-0 one color and then second set a different color.

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
Wait, you don’t mean to tell me this is a fabrication, do you?

Rejig everything so it’s so multiples of 6.
Warhammer moved from D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 to just D6 (and D3 from D6) You need a lot of D6, but they’re ubiquitous.

There is zero chance that someone would just go on the internet and lie.

It’s not “fake” so much as it is an obvious joke.

There are not too many choices if you are a fan of platonic solids

That’s a really shitty d12

Or the real life prismatic spray if you throw them really hard at someone’s face and eyes. If two of them land into the persons sight globes point first, it will cause blindness.

Platonic solids exclude the Rhombic Dodecahedron, so who needs them?

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.

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