D4 with a top face:
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?
Picture I made for this thread a few months ago:
-
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
-
That’s a 1 isn’t it?
Naturally

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 love the infinity d4

Give an arch D4 a try

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.

Shite. Hope that’s an AI image. That looks like Lego’s evil cousin.

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.

Take 1d4 damage!

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
