    You roll it, it drops off the table and stops 15 yards meters away–if you’re lucky. Or the cat thinks you finally have time for them and playfully pushes the ball die under the couch.

    I think my d30 is good enough.

    Unbalanced. Only rolls 1s 0.3057% of the time instead of 0.3058% as expected.

      We bought our kid a D120 a few years back (at their request). https://www.mathartfun.com/thedicelab.com/d120.html

          Their skew and slant dice are wild looking and fun to have. (Sorry for your wallet)

    But numbers should be spread more uniformly, not in a sequence!

    Unless you have a hash table. A hash table with a ratchet on non-blind throws is a fun way to mess with player’s bad habits.

      I’m sorry, what is hash table in this context?

        I’m reasonably sure it’d be a list of numbers that just translate.actual die rolls to a new set.

        123456 416352

        Roll a natural 6 on a d6, look at that simple table, you got a 2. Roll a natural 3, get a 6.

        Ratcheting the table would be moving a row, so ratcheting this table by 1 would make it

        123456 163524

        So now you have a new arrangement.

          Yeah, except my players were usually quite badass math people, so I get to use reasonably strong crypto (well, not proper crypto, but strong enough against manual attack) stuff for ratcheting. Often it was just OTP (when I’m being lazy). Then everyone just got annoyed with math arms race and we stopped using dice almost entirely.
