I'm with them
eleefece, 
starman2112, I wanted to burn this thing the moment I saw it, and it took me a few seconds to figure out why
Ledivin, Are you supposed to pick the one facing you? Wtf it’s so bad
Jilanico, 
You pick the side that’s face down.
eleefece, No, you’re supposed to take the number you can’t see (the one under the dice)
gamermanh,
myrrh,
Leate_Wonceslace, 
Kill the apostates and burn all they held dear.
Our dice God is the only true dice god.
Chakravanti, shakes his D10’s You polies should…hits his tray with a pair…oh…uh…roughly Half of you vanish instantly. Roll yourself a pair and break 53. And no, you can’t undo that just because your char is a billionaire. Shit…really? Fine, you get ten paradox and Thanos vanishes and everyone comes back. Good news! You will ALL die and no mage can undoTHAT now. Techno or tradition.
Honytawk, The bottom one has so much wasted space that could have made the numbers more clearly readable.
Makeshift, What kind of blasphemy is that lighter blue die. Burn it.
negativenull, 
drew_belloc, 
Strawberry, omg i never realized dreidels are d4s
blackluster117, 
Imagine sitting at a game table and someone pulls out this bad boy for a roll.
sundrei, 
“You encounter a grandma. Roll for gelt.”
RootBeerGuy, 
Natural 1, you klutz!
RQG, 
Everything is a d4 if you try hard enough.
explodicle, D4 D4 D4
I print with PLA
And when it’s cool and ready
Min damage all damn day
FoundTheVegan, 
Now I'm not racist but...
... people that prefer the bottom number are a blight upon the world and should be sterilized and forced in to education camps.
themeatbridge, You’re permitted to speak your mind, as long as your rhetoric does not become conduct, but I find your ideas despicable and you are a pox on the University.
Gloomy, 
They just spoke their mind and you call him a pox on the Universe. That’s typical light blue dicer rethoric right there. You should be ashamed of yoursef! What are you, against free speech?
myrrh, …i’ll accept bottom-numeral d4s from anyone still using fourty-year-old TSR dice, but there’s no other reasonable case for them…
Jilanico, They should band together and fight the ones where you have to pick up the die to see the number it landed on.
_stranger_, Alternatively, what if you had a hole where all the vertices are and had a projector in the dice project the number onto the ceiling.?
Jilanico, Hologram projecting dice
HipsterTenZero, 
team purp forever. You look at the number on top to see what result you got on every other die, why change for d4s?
SpaceNoodle, But it’s not on the top, it’s just near the top. I micro-etch the numbers in the vertices.
agamemnonymous, If you can etch something into it, technically it’s not a vertex.
grue, But then you don’t have a D4 anymore; you’ve got a really unfair and mislabeled D8.
SpaceNoodle, At least it’s honest about how unfair it is.
psud, Burn the blunt d4 people! Caltrop d4 is the only d4!
Ledivin, Look at this guy, loading his dice 🤨
ThrowawayPermanente, I’ll see you and your side-numbers in hell
sundrei, Tonight we dice in hell.
themeatbridge, Wait I though we were at Greg’s house tonight. Damn it, I told you all I’m not on the group text, guys.
Bye, All d4s are abominations that shouldn’t exist
PugJesus, 
Someone should make one of those "I need a die with only four sides - WORDS FROM THE ABSOLUTELY DERANGED" memes
ThrowawayPermanente, I would rather use D12s and round down
SpaceNoodle, You mean modulo?
Tolookah, Nah, everything over 4 is 4. Rounded down like.
ThrowawayPermanente, Haha yes
psud, It would be ceiling(D12/3)
SpaceNoodle, (D12 mod 4) + 1 uses two simple operations and uses whole numbers.
⌈D12 ÷ 3⌉ uses two more complex operations and relies on rationals, or worse, decimal approximations.
Jilanico,
Arkaelus, These are really cute, thank you!
Jilanico, You might also get a kick outta these:
Arkaelus, Aaand I now have an expensive die habit, thanks! :))
grue, If you’re commenting in this community, it was only a matter of time.
Nelots, I’m personally a big fan of these.
Hossenfeffer, 
How are these not more of a thing? So much better than caltrops.
BigDanishGuy, I had a set of what I thought was long dice, turns out it’s called barrel dice, like these
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Dados_rodillo.jpg
The d20 didn’t really work, it was hard to read and took forever to stop if you let it roll. But we played MERP, which is a d100 system, so the d20 was mostly there to tinker with.
psud, I have long d3s
Wootz, (edited ) I designed and modeled some rollability-optimized d4s years ago. They were based on reuleaux tetrahedra, with flat sections of the faces for numbers.
I never got further than printing them, but they rolled well.
I don’t know why I’m writing this, but if anybody wants the files, let me know.
EDIT: Here’s a printables link with the parts: www.printables.com/model/680575-reuleaux-d4-dice
_stranger_, liiiiiiiiiiink?!
Wootz, (edited ) I’ll upload them somewhere when I get home from work. What’s a suitable file host these days?
EDIT: Added a link to my original comment
Wutchilli, I am very interested in those files, and would like to try them Out.
Wootz, I’ll upload them somewhere when I get home from work. What’s a suitable file host these days?
Wutchilli, Hmmm, for 3d models i personally prefer printables. For anything else i just use a git lab repository.
Wootz, (edited ) Excellent point. I’ll stick 'em on printables.
Added a link to my origina comment!
KISSmyOS, And also completely useless.
Just roll a 120-sided die, divide the result by 30 and round up.
