[@Minuit_Monstre]

you know, a D100 would be a strong use case for clarification of what you actually rolled... for one of those liquid filled dice with an air bubble inside as the small air bubble would float to the top, highlighting the number it was supposed to have landed on.

[@Trueflights]

The original design of most D100's were filled with water and had a small bubble in them that would always be at the top and would mark the number that was at the top.

[@pauln4056]

Better than mine that is basically a metal wiffle ball with numbers.

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

Brilliant!

[@Mike-mf3ed]

Sounds similar to a “magical 8 ball”…

To be fair I'd expose most glow in the dark things to open sunlight for a bit before testing unless it uses tritium.

[@finminder2928]

They don’t know how “glow in the dark” works

[@Nephanor]

Even easier method, Q Workshop sells a dice charger rolling cup, it has a UV light inside which charges glow in the dark dice.

[@selenawolf2466]

Blacklight flashlight are the glow lover's friend 💚

[@Painocus]

Glow in the dark paint usually (unless it's radioactive) need to "charge" to glow. If they were sent by mail they were probably "out of energy" when you got them, and need to be left in the light for a while, ideally sun or UV light. (Not sure if you did this first or not, but since you didn't mention it I thought I should point it out). A lot of people are saying the weird dice are made for DCC. This is not quite true. The dice in question predate DCC (and most of them were designed by Lou Zocchi), DCC is just the most popular RPG that use them.

[@Sylancewillfall]

The fact you didnt get any edible dice is outrageous 😂

[@austin3ds3ds]

Actually just got my d20 in the mail a week ago from them, really easy to set up and use so far, and very pretty

[@TheGamingLegendsOfficial]

I'm still waiting on mine, unfortunately. The struggles of buying a full set + an extra D20 lmao - but I get it, production is rough. At least the kickstarter team have been transparent this whole time with detailed updates!

[@NinjaFresh]

@@TheGamingLegendsOfficial I also bought two extra singles with my set and I got my singles a few days ago. So hopefully you get your single D20 soon!

@@NinjaFresh I don't think I paid for split ordering lol. I think I'm waiting on the long haul.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

9:30 Others have probably said it by now, but the black and blue set is for DCC RPG! Sort of. Dungeon Crawl Classics uses d3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 30, and %. They call it the "dice chain" where instead of flat numerical bonuses or adv/disadv, you use a bigger or smaller die for some modifiers. So a DCC set won't typically come with the d100 sphere (pretty much useless) or that d60(?). I like the multicolor sets so it's easier to tell them apart! PS: I had to check this video out bc I have a similar one coming soon, and I also randomly rolled a crit while filming! I feel like I've seen that happen in every dice tour video, but it's a real phenomenon! lol

[@BonusAction]

Oooh thanks for checking mine out, and I look forward to seeing your video! And yes seems like the dice gods favour those in front of the camera!

[@TheDragonHoard_com]

That set does NOT include a d14, so it's NOT for DCC

[@itsarubiks]

fun fact: the numbers on the dice wand are *similar* to the bar and dot number system used in ancient Mayan. It won't be that hard to learn. Easy way to figure it out, the bars are 5 and the dots are 1. Count the bars and multiply by 5 then add the number of dots (e.g. 3 bars plus 2 dots is (3x5)+2 which is 17)

[@LB_adventurer]

The set of many dice (black/blue) are for the game DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics)... which uses dice steps instead of bonuses

[@Mike-mf3ed]

The wand is perfect! I’d like a group of dice that changes colour upon impact or if it stops rolling. They probably don’t exist but I’ll be searching for them…

[@MadelynKontis]

"Die" is the singular form of the word, "dice" is already plural.

[@RapsCalorie]

[@backslash4141]

The computer linked dice seems like a massively mismanaged idea. All it needs to fix it is have the charger be a full dice tray with wireless/air charging and have it be a full set of dice that charge while sat in the tray. This way battery life isn't an issue becuase it's passively charging whenever not rolling it in a session. Make connecting it to an application less of a pain and you've got an amazing product.

[@bloodypommelstudios7144]

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

[@Nobrev]

You basically just described pixels dice. They do basically all that although vtt support is still a work in progress (and if they ever finally ship the damn things out to their backers)

[@TheGamingLegendsOfficial]

@@Nobrev still waiting :(

[@jtjames79]

Inductive dice tray. In fact, get rid of all the electronics and use a multimodal llm to read the dice with a webcam.

[@NinjaFresh]

@@Nobrev I got my single dice but not the set that I ordered. I have to say I am very happy with them and the Pixel app is pretty good. I'm hoping with them being open source we'll have more extensions for different apps sooner or later. I know Chrome has an add on for Roll20 to use the Pixels in it. Hopefully more coming soon. Also with the single Piexels D20 being only $11 plus shipping more than the cheaper Amazon one I think it is a pretty good deal.

[@Gunbudder]

17:10 the very short charge time and run time tells me that the dice actually doesn't ANY battery at all, and instead is using a capacitor (or a few of them). If you were clever enough in the design, you could get away with just a cap (or maybe even a super cap) with some super low power bluetooth. you could save an incredible amount of money on the large scale be removing any battery from the bill of materials lol. you rarely see this done in products though because consumers are never willing to keep charging a device over and over

[@diablo.the.cheater]

It would work if the capacitor was charged by induction in the tray

[@arf410]

That "dice wand" is NOT a wand, it's a copy of a phurba, a Tibetan Buddhist ritual knife or spike. Holy with at least 1500 years of history.

[@Godsbane]

Thank you! It was driving me crazy, though I suppose "Tibetan ritual spike" might be somewhat similar to a wand. I think of it being closer to an athame in Wicca. Also, I only really know about phurba daggers because of The Shadow - a movie I love much more than it probably deserves.

[@arf410]

@Godsbane there is something much closer to a wand in Tibetan Buddhism than a phurba, something called a dorje

[@Godsbane]

@@arf410 interesting.

[@diablo.the.cheater]

A ritual knife is just a bladed wand.

[@arf410]

@diablo.the.cheater no it is not. Western occultism, as well as Chinese and Tibetan have them as distinct objects. You generally need both. Wands aren't even historically derived from knives but from wooden and metal reading pointers that were all over the place when texts were hand copied and were so expensive you touched them as little as possible. See yads in Judaism, early Xtianity, etc. Not a knife in the slightest. In Tibet you need a phurba and dorje. One is a knife, the other is not.

[@stellasdoesstuff]

Tbh I was a bit disappointed that the first one wasn't like a bakugan where the dragon pops open after you roll it

[@redhead0122]

Cool video. Always nice to have someone actually test stuff like this. Really can't recommend the led dice. WE bought them as a gift for a friend twice and there was always one that didn't work. unfortanly the same one. But I must say returning them and getting the money back was quick and without issue . we went with one set of liquid center dice instead and they looked way cooler and felt nicer

Having actually forgotten to cancel my pledge for the wand dice Kickstarter, i was actually surprised by the weight and quality of the wand... not the best to actually use in play, but looking good on a shelf

[@nondisclosureable]

While people are saying that the oddnumbered dice are for DCC, there are other uses for them as well. I run a variety of games and my odd numbered dice get a lot of use because I make a bunch of random lists for things for my players to encounter. Having all the unusual numbers available means if I only have 5 items for a list I can just use a d5 or a d17 for a 17 item list.

[@seanmalloy7249]

If you like odd dice, rolling 3D34-2 will give you a 1-100 range on a bell curve.

[@claireful]

Thank you for doing this. I’ve been battling the urge to buy those light up dice for months and the urge is now gone.

[@TheRealPalleh]

The fact that the wireless d20 does not have Inductive Charging and the d20 can't stay together is inexcusable. If you just set it up for inductive charging you wouldn't need the whole d6 thing, you wouldn't need to bother with a base like that, and you could even create a dice tray that is an inductive charger that keeps it at 100% at all times, like what wireless mice do with charging mouse pads.

[@GuardianOfRlyeh]

I remember the Kickstarter campaign of GoDice, and they are designed to be charged inductively. The energy cell inside the dice is a supercapacitor, which holds its charge for about 2 hours. This is why it can be recharged in such a short time (just 10 seconds).

[@diablo.the.cheater]

I use the wireless mic with charging mouse pads and that is super useful, best mice in my life. It has all the advantages of a wired mice and a wireless mice. Probably the best use case for the wireless charging tech.

[@digimbyte]

that wand is FANTASTIC, you DO NOT need to wait for it to stop, it has a built in brake when you push the end

[@Nephanor]

YOU MONSTER! I have 972 dice in sets all in a databse (still haven't audited my individuals) and now you are making me buy MORE?! As to the connected/LED dice, there was a kickstarter for Pixels dice which I JUST got the first one from my order, a D20, and it does both, lights up with LEDs and connects to VTTs (I have a D20 and a full 7 dice set I bought) and the dice DO have profiles so you can have them do things for individual rolls. They are really cool, and work well. Been playing it with for about 20 minutes. The dice are solid and feel VERY solid. The wand dice you see there looks to be the same as the one I got from a kickstarter, not sure who copied whom at that one or if it's the same company just selling them on Amazon. Looks EXACTLY the same as the one I got. It's interesting, but not something I would use. I also got a kickstarter where they had a dice pendant, and it looks like a metal crystal with runes on it, and it has a set of dice inside like that other one. The same company is doing a 'dice ring' kickstarter for the same idea right now. I have the same set of every dice from amazon, just because I wanted a D100, even though I know it will NEVER stop. Other weird dice I have: Orbidice. Spherical dice that actually DO stop on dice faces...most of the time, not something I'd use most of the time, but I like weird dice. Dwarven Runes from Crystal Caste, mine are made from hematite, but they have other stones as well, including weird stuff like meteorite rock, fossil bones and more. Crystal Caste alsop hase gemstone dice that look like they are literally crystals, in shape. PolyHero dice, unique shapes based on different DnD classes (Warrior, Rogue, Bard, Mage and Cleric are the ones they have done so far) When I get the databse of dice online (with pictures I have taken) I will let ya know if you are interested, and if you have any questions about the weird ones I have.

[@TheLogicMouse]

I was going to comment about the Pixels, but I haven't gotten my set yet, so I'm glad someone did who's had a chance to actually play around with them! Also, if I recall correctly, the Pixels are wireless charging, just put them in their case and plug the case in, so much easier on your thumbnails that these "GoDice"

[@Nephanor]

@TheLogicMouse yup, the wireless charging is such a nice feature. Still trying to get them to connect to VTTs, but there is a Lotta support on their discord. Can't wait for the rest of them, the full 7 dice rpg set

[@celticdenefew]

I also backed Pixels and while I still haven't received them, I've appreciated the creator keeping in touch with all the issues. Seeing how many issues Pixels had at the factory, I woulda been hella upset if the cheap ones he bought on Amazon worked perfectly 😅 I sure hope they deliver soon. Of all the dice and physical game gear I've bought, those would see the most use since I play online 99% of the time!

[@Nephanor]

@@celticdenefew Still waiting on my full set of them, but the single D20 is solid, works pretty well and looks good. I went for the opaque obsidian color, just because clear would look too weird for me. Seeing the electronic guts is just offputting to me, and sadly that meant I got more time due to manufacturing issues, but yeah, as you said, the constant communication was nice to know that things were still working....unlike another kickstarter where I am lucky to get an update once every 3 months.

[@celticdenefew]

@@Nephanor Yea, I picked the option that they all get sent together and also chose either Obsidian or the Hematite versions (I kept going back and forth, can't remember which I finally chose). I am looking forward to them arriving though! They look dope af

[@athena1491]

You can totally crit on a coin, it just has to land on the edge

[@JaredBruner]

18:51 if you put the D20 back together wrong your rolls aren't "wrong" they're "hidden"

[@BruhaTheImp]

5:37 i was once in an campaign where you could find these in treasure chests, NPCs would hand them out in shops, each player was allowed an maximum of 3 D2 throws. But they weren't used as saving throws; instead, if you won with them you'd get an lucky occurrence. In battle this could be a non-D20 critical hit, to out of combat finding better loot in an chest, or using an haggle mechanic that if one of your D2 coins succeed, would lower the price at shops (but you could only attempt once). Obviously more successes per D2 meant even more and better stuff.

[@ezmoore27]

I'm most interested in the fairness/balance of the dice. Even traditional dice sometimes have balance issues if bubbles form in the material when cast. I can't imagine all of these dice are fairly balanced (looking at the displacer beast and beholder eye with skepticism).

[@Jdbye]

Maybe the saving throw coin is weighted to make the success side 55% likely. They probably didn't put that much effort into it, but that would take it from a 7/10 to an easy 10/10.

[@rococogoth]

My coolest "weird" dice is a set made from bone (a gift), a big clear D6 with a smaller D6 inside of it, and a lead die from my father's days of playing D&D.

[@demonicbunny3po]

The wand is pretty easy to read. Dots are 1 each and dashes/rectangles/squares are 5 each. Basically it is just a tally system.

[@JoshBattin]

I'd think the saving throw die should be spun on the table to be as random as possible. If you flip it like a coin, it's likely to land with the face that was up when you flipped it.

[@robotredkitten817]

I know because I learned it. You can time a thick coin easily to know the result in advance. It's just because it restate slower. Focusing on the noise helps.

[@MrTheMighty]

Those color changing dice look to use the same mold as a set of metal dice I got a few years ago. I would suggest you check the d4 - the sides don't match up, meaning that you will have 2, 3, and 4 showing simultaneously. A friend of mine had a differently-colored set that used that same mold, and their d4 had the same issue.

[@MsHojat]

For a d2 dice it would make more sense to me for it to be a "coin" within a ring, and that you spin the coin while holding the outer ring. Gravity would pulls one end of the coin down, with the result facing the spinner. I've never seen anyone do this sort of design. Maybe because it's more expensive than just making a coin or top or such.

[@Kasatome]

As far as fancy dice go, my D20 from Pixels Dice is actually pretty amazing, can't wait to get the rest of my set!

[@PoLilSqurls]

is it just me or does that wand one looks a lot like the dagger from The Golden Child

​@@rustinashackleford1367It reminded me of the bitey little psychic dagger from The Shadow as well. I really like that movie.

[@GhostpainOG]

I also picked up that d100 set back when they used to make a glow in the dark version, probably a different maker, but yea, some *weird* dice in there. I think they just made them because they could, but I've never seen a game that uses those values. I've seen and held metal versions and they are waaay better. Amazon has such weird stuff sometimes.

[@THEPELADOMASTER]

The weird thing about the D20 that connects to VTTs is that, if you're going to put a thing inside the d20 shell that is the actual mechanism that holds the battery and connects, and also needs to be put back into the shell in a specific orientation, why make it look like a normal cheap ass d6? they could've made just a cube with markings that help you tell which way it goes. Also, there's no way that a hollow d20 with a suspended cube inside is fair in any way.

[@Travus]

I actually have that dice, and the reason it's a D6 in there is because you can actually use it as a D6 as well. It's a toggle in the app if I recall correctly.

[@BrightBlueInk]

NGL, as a big BG3 fan if WOTC came out with a d20 that somehow would work with the game i would get it. It probably wouldn't really be possible, I'm pretty sure BG3 fudges the dice rolls some for game balance, but having something tactile that effects the game sounds like a really fun thing to mess with, especially after a first playthrough.

[@XaadeTheBlade]

You can use the coin for death saves and still have a 55% chance. If you fail the flip, you roll a d10. If you get a 10 from the d10, you still save. Heads on the coin is 1/2 chance. Tails (1/2) but 10 on the dice (1/10) is 1/2*1/10 => 1/20 So, 1/2 for heads + 1/20 for tails and 10 => 55%

[@ExploitSage]

I was gifted one of the GoDice D20s and have used it extensively in roll20, so I'll give my feelings. First off, yeah the initial setup is painful and there is NO documentation, which is absolutely ridiculous. However, once setup, it has been pretty reliable, with almost no disconnecting issues, false triggers, and only slightly more often a failure to register a roll. As for charging, things are definitely super snug at first, and it is annoying that you have to disassemble the die to charge it, however, after the first couple times it gets easier to do so, and thanks to the use of a super capacitor instead of a battery, you get roughly 2hrs out of a full charge from ~10sec on the charger (which yes you do generally need to hold down the d6 for that 10sec). After the first session, I found I can perform the whole charge process in about 20-25sec, and sometimes faster, and I pretty much never have issues with the die dying on me since I kinda made it a habit to quickly re-charge it at the start of each encounter so I almost never run up against that ~2hr life. After getting used to it, I honestly dislike having to remember to enter my modifier(s) before I roll more-so than the charging process.

[@gendissaray]

I would've swapped your VTT die and the light up dice scores, but thanks for checking all these out!

[@Esperologist]

I'll be honest... calling one die a 'dice' and calling multiple dice 'dices' really bothers me. But yeah, I figure a good number would be gimmicks that aren't worth the cost/trouble. - spoilers - Like, a figure that folds into a die form sounds cool... but it would be too costly if they actually got it balanced to be fair when rolled. And honestly, if you want a die on display, it is probably cheaper to just get one... and for a creature to display getting a regular figure is probably nicer. Light up dice are also difficult to get balanced. Odds are, they will act like loaded. If they work, they've only got a shelf life of 10 years at best... as batteries are only good for a number of recharge cycles or number of years. Actually, the 'online VTT connected' could be done another way with a more fair die. Step One : player must set up a web camera aiming down at their desk. Step Two : player installs an app on their computer that accesses the camera. The app is set to be able to read standard dice fonts, such as pips, numbers, roman numerals, or other such. It also has the option to add dice fonts, where the user then goes through a process of letting the app 'photo' each face of the die and 'learn' what those faces look like and the player also enters what they mean. (Ex: They might have a D20 that uses Comic Sans, and thus need to train it what each number looks like in that font.) (Ex: They might have a d6 with squares as pips in odd positioning. With one '3' face, two '2' faces, and three '1' faces. This could be entered into the program as a d6 with those faces, or a d3 with each possible result... because the physical die handles the actual probability.) (Ex: d4 isn't easy to read... not sure how that would be entered...) Step Three : player then goes through confirmation process in the app with their dice... rolling it under the camera to confirm it recognizes their dice. Step Four : App sends the result to the VTT program or a browser extension. Worth it? No... but I think it would be better than the d6 in a d20 with iffy charging and wireless connection that not all computers can connect to. (I know mine can't.)

I'm pretty sure that with some precision machining, you could make a coin that doesn't have a 50/50 chance. The first idea that comes to mind is one side is more deeply engraved than the other, so their is a bias towards the area with extra material. Though I feel like aerodynamics could do something. Or have an internal spinning weight that makes the thing want to land on its edge. Now of course at that point you're putting far more effort into the project than its worth, but that seems to be how most player characters act anyway...

Lost opportunity to say "all in wand" isntead of "all in one" 👀

[@FHL-Devils]

The lit dice would be great if they had a sensor to light up only the rolled score, and not the whole stupid thing (especially in flashing RGB).

[@NixTheMouse]

it's kinda sad seeing pretty much every single one of these were dropship scams

[@davidwitte8076]

I'm sad they're not making more Dicelings. I got a couple of dragons, two beholders, a displacer beast (would love the transparent one!) and an owlbear. Sadly, i can't find a mimic for a reasonable price😢

[@Trueflights]

the displacer beast die is literally just a Bakugan.

[@ChrisEllorris]

Even though you're technically making the death save chance 5% harder, you're negating the nat 1 and nat 20 outcomes which kinda balances it out.

[@NaerenVastir]

what i wish those electronic dies used were induction charging. what ever happend to that? you know how not that long ago, there were like charge pads for your phone? you didn't have to plug in the phone, you jsut set it on the pad and it charged "wirelessly" i feels like that tech just kind of petered out, but it would be perfect for charging weird items like these dice so you didn't need to crack them open, or have exposed contacts on the faces.

The wand reminds me of the dagger from the film The Shadow, if you know you know! ;)

[@danielbear3802]

Diceling can be rolled though they don't roll great

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

In theory you could weight a coint to be slightly more likely to land on one side or about

[@artyd42]

D30. It's a random roll of the day of the month.

[@MikChaos]

another down side of the death save coin, how does it get the nat 1 or nat 20?

[@YamiSuzume]

The Beholder Die is in fact a fake. I forgot the name, but there was one guy who "invented" it in a proper quality, then every just stole it and produced a garbage variant in China to sell it as well

[@frydemwingz]

you should get a 2 ounce silver round for the 50% chance one

[@Liminal.Headspace]

I'm pretty sure I've seen electronic dice on AliExpress that connect to roll20 and they are individual dice. Around 30 Euros, so not necessarily cheap, nor expensive. Too bad we have no dice goblin rule.

[@ColossalAmbitions]

I understand why but it always jars a little to hear British youtubers talk about dollars instead of pounds. Do like what you are doing and good name for a channel! I have the Beholder diceling and my godson (2yo) was obsessed with it.

[@CrymsonNite]

there's some cool led dice I want to get that are just a solid yellow like a lantern

[@majorpain8569]

I got the same LED dice, the D20 worked but never charged. All the other dice worked.

[@reaperofburgers]

There's no way to make that Patreon logo look good

[@bobmichaelsen2891]

DCC uses some really odd dice, including (but not limited to): D5 D7 D14 D16

[@lordcola-3324]

Did you know that the singular od Dice is Die, not Dice?

[@MorgorDre]

D30 is the last one that is dice-y. Everything above is too round.

[@XaadeTheBlade]

For remote dice, I wouldn't even make the tech IN the dice. So many things that can go wrong, the worst of which is balancing the die. Give me a camera pointed at a tray and AI that reads the dice roll. Simple as.

[@nelsonthen884]

Death savings throws are not 50/50. You succeed rolling a 10 or higher on the D20, It's more of a 45/55

[@Megamannen]

"I actually rolled a 20", edit it like 4 seperate cuts in 5 seconds
