    I’m a bit disappointed that many of these n-sided dice are not isohedral, despite isohedral polyhedra existing for many of these values of n.

      The weirdly shaped ones probably sell better. Which would you pick up in a store?

        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

        I’m really surprised that this does not seem to be an existing thing for d10s specifically. I can find nested d10s and there are heaps of liquid core dice, but apparently none that combine those two ideas

          Don’t be ridiculous, obviously you roll a d20, subtract one, and then count how many digits the result has

            It’s called a chance cube and it’s essential on tatooine

              The old UK £1 was similar in size but twice as thick. It’s now 12-sided but not sure how that impacts the odds.

                Oh, I still bought the full set, but I tried to get isohedral dice whenever possible.

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

                    I know there’s a way to figure that out, but I have no idea where to start. So I’m going with 1 in 3000, plus or minus 42.

                          Fair point. A ball has either one or infinite sides from my perspective.

                            Inside, outside, and, depending on the ball, offsides.

                              I’ve seen this shape uses as a D4. Nothing cursed about it. About as threatening to me as a Labrador puppy.

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

                                    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.

                                        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.
