    At first glance I thought this was an AI generated picture of a roll of toilet paper…

      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 prefer better odds than that…

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

            Doesn’t it have 0 corners, 1 edge, and 2 surfaces (faces)?

                  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.

                        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.

                              This was my thought.

                              Mfers be out here debating whether the thing depicted is actually a “two sided” dice, meanwhile coins just be chillin over there getting ignored.

                              Y’all be trippin.

                                      The picture is of a d4. Dice are measured counting the flats (and therefore possible number of different results) not mathematically defined “sides”.

                                        If you wanna get loosey-goosey with it and count the curved bit as a result, its still just a d6 lmao

                                          Even not considering that, they still aren’t 50-50 odds. The stamped printing on both sides throws off the balance just enough to bias one side over the other.
