The DEFINITIVE Ranking of Tabletop Dice | Show of the Weekend

We play a lot of tabletop games, and whether it's board games or role playing adventures, we've used a lot of dice in the process. So, using our expertise, we're here to order the traditional set of tabletop dice from best to worst, and create THE definitive ranking of tabletop dice. Let's roll...! 🎲

WAIT. Forgot another bad thing about D4s: some are marked the OTHER way, and you have to read the number that is next to the table and it is incredibly aesthetically unpleasant.

[@AilinOGriobhtha]

D4 is also the area of Dublin where all the neo-lib conservatives live, too. That letter and number combo is cursed.

[@mar_speedman]

I was a bit disappointed you couldn't relay this important detail in the video. Glad you rectified this important error, though :D

[@Strigulino]

And Luke talking about it being Han Solo’s blaster - he’s obviously never played Edge of the Empire or any of the other Star Wars RPGs because they’ve managed to take standard D&D dice and made them even more complicated. 😂

[@robertnope1993]

We have just one of those unfortunate styles of d4. I thought we got a misprint. Such a weird placement choice. But I’ll defend D4s for a minute. I occasionally run a goblin ranger/rogue, and those dagger damage rolls are about the only thing I can roll well with.

[@mar_speedman]

@@robertnope1993 A 4 on a d4 may be considered 'rolling well', but a 4 on a d10 would be considered a catastrophe :P

[@rickimaru915]

I still remember the way Luke wistfully described a D6 in the first Werewolf game video “This is a D6, formally known as a dice”

[@alalalala57]

The D Formerly Known As Dice

[@BisectedBrioche]

I'll defend d4's to my dying breath, for the simple reason that they mean the damage dice for caltrops is an IRL caltrop, and that's beautiful.

[@Lokitty719]

And when they're that pointy they are actual caltrops!

[@shane5898]

Somebody has played rogues.

[@Stephen-Fox]

If you like d4, there's a cute looking game on KS atm that exclusively uses d4s - Luncheons and Dragonflies. You play as woodland critters going on adventures. Been meaning to play through the solo demo (Essentially a short CYOA adventure designed to teach the system), but the way it uses d4 means your going to need a lot of them.

[@marcusdire8057]

[@ulrickai]

I'll be honest... I'd happily watch them just taking a keyboard and cleaning it while they talk about whatever random topic related to cleaning or keyboards they think of 😂

[@TheLurkingWriter]

At this point, we're here for the people and whatever they want to talk about -- regardless of topic. The whole group clearly love working together and that shared joy is a delight to behold.

[@lordshavron]

​@TheLurkingWriter I've been saying it since the time they played Snap, these two can make practically anything entertaining. I have watched that video several times and still have a great time. You guys want to do a video on cleaning a keyboard? Go for it. I've watched a video of producer Jon refurbishing a Game Boy at least twice and it was great.

[@Jailhouse_Chris]

I’m the same, but we’re both existing fans. Imagine this video is the first video a potential new fan sees, do you think this video would be more or less effective than their other videos at making them watch another?

[@DaveLucas1984]

I now want nothing more than for Luke to cold open next week’s episode just holding his keyboard and staring into the camera

[@mnorris790]

D12s aren't the most useful dice but I'm always glad to see them, because it generally means someone just got hit with a big axe. Which I think we can all agree is central to the tabletop gaming experience.

[@Joe90h]

I think my issue with the d12 is it's as swingy as that giant axe of yours. While getting a 12 is much less likely on 2d6, it's impossible to get a 1 and statistically you're going to end up somewhere in the middle.

[@mnorris790]

@@Joe90h You're a greatsword man then.

[@Joe90h]

@@mnorris790 Greatswords are good, the last campaign I played in was an odd one where we had to earn our proficiencies through down time grinding (Kind of like the projects in Blades Of The Dark) but I went with a heavy mace for them which is 2d4 and never really considered any other weapons over building out their ability to read every language as that was more on brand for them. Other characters have included a poison knife juggling bard/rogue and a DnD 3.5 dancing Scimitar user who could attack 5 times in a combat round and earn bonus d6 if he'd moved a certain distance. My favourite combat round ever with him was slicing a leg off of a giant enemy crab then swimming up inside it and blending it into a paste because I got to roll 30d6 against it and got over 120 from them.

[@shotgunshells2]

I like the d12. It's got a good heft to it like a d20, but the numbers are larger so it doesn't tip quite as much.

[@grindsaur]

My issue with the d12 is that it doesn't seem to want to be in the game - it always runs away off the table's edge and hides somewhere on the floor, usually under something.

[@notthatcreativewithnames]

Fun fact: D4s were featured in the Royal Game of Ur, arguably the oldest tabletop game that has ever been discovered (about 4500 years ago). The British Museum made a video about this game with Tom Scott as a guest, and at one point, Tom complained about how hard it was to pick up four D4s to roll.

[@MedicalFlyer]

Would you say dropping a D4 on the floor puts you in a dicey situation?

[@thepurplemarauder]

Booooooo

[@Amaritudine]

You always know where you're standing with a D4. It just gets right to the point.

[@mar_speedman]

Roll a d20. You rolled a 1? You step on the d4 and stumble over the couch, falling on your head painfully. Take 3d4 damage. Try not to drop them on the floor this time

[@senhowler]

I'd just call it D4-estation.

[@icemojo]

More like... a spiky situation

[@robertwilsonjr.1384]

Luke describing a D8 as "double the thing I hate" got me chuckling. Also, yes, please play Snakes & Ladders.

[@joestacey6185]

The d4 is the only die that's also a weapon. A die that can make someone die. Also, Luke's "toss a coin" comment deserves more recognition. Get to it!

[@lisah-p8474]

As someone with a frankly ridiculous amount of these dice, I was more interested in seeing Luke and Ellen's collections. The glittery set Andy gifted to Ellen is gorgeous. 😍💜 I don't even have the opportunity to play DnD these days. But ooohhhh my little crow brain loves shiny dice!!

[@Stephen-Fox]

Yeah. Can we have a follow-up video, be it Show of the Weekend or in place of a regular video - Or on the Oxventure channel - where all of Ellen, Luke, Mike, Andy, Jane, and Johnny just show off their dice collections?

[@Joe90h]

I did enjoy the switch from the DnD Oxventure ambient music to the Blades In The Dark music when switching from discussion of the d20 to the d6. Very nice touch.

[@EarlyBirm]

Lol It's a testament to how enjoyable you guys are... I'm watching you discuss dice. 😊

[@tranquility1991]

d20 > d6 any day of the week for me. My favorite thing about the d20 is that we've uncovered samples of 20-sided dice as far back as ancient Egypt (I believe it was Egypt anyhow). Also the shape is called an icosahedron, which is an excellent word.

[@StraightOuttaJarhois]

I personally prefer the dodecahedron (or d12) by a hair, both as a shape and as a word, but they're both excellent. Honestly all the dice have nice shapes, except the shameful, shameful d10 which isn't even a Platonic solid.

[@azuredragoon2054]

@@StraightOuttaJarhois In Bender's Game (A Futurama "Movie Special"), Fry eventually refers to a D12 as "The Dodecaliciousness". I will not spoil you on why. I just think you'll appreciate that basically made-up word.

[@Failedlegend]

100% such blasphemy on ox's part :P

[@cebbi1313]

I was visiting a museum the other day and saw a ceramic D6 from ancient China. It looked exactly like a modern die, down to the dot patterns and opposite sides adding up to 7. The D6 is so good that someone invented it thousands of years ago and everyone who saw it since said "yup, perfect, no notes"

[@joewilder5530]

In the older editions of D&D they recommend using 2 d10 of different colors to represent the 1s column & the 10s column. Then they marketed the percentile die with double digits.

[@valiroime]

That’s how I do it. I have two different colored d10 for times when I need to roll percentiles (divine intervention please). Started playing AD&D back in the early’80s.

[@Cheekyos65]

No matter how cool a dice looks, you can still roll a one

[@00blaat00]

Not with the percentile D10 you can't.

[@Stephen-Fox]

Not if they're fudge dice. Then you can only roll a -, a +, or a blank.

[@LP-xw7ix]

You guys could literally talkabout anything including dice now and I'd still watch to the end!

[@frellion6430]

Don't have favourite die types but I like the D100+D10 because I just like the idea of being able to roll a random 1-100 number right off the bat lol (Admittedly I don't play DnD, just watch you guys play because everything you all do is delightful. If I played, maybe I would dislike the D100/D10 combo as well 😅)

[@Stephen-Fox]

If you want to get the opportunity to roll a lot of d100+d10, I'd suggest checking out Ironsworn. It's a highly regarded system in the solo roleplaying crowd, is freely available as a PDF, has a solo-first design, and the resolution system is comparing a d6 + stat (your 'action die) to two different d10 (the 'challenge dice'), which as Ellen points out, you can just use a d100 as one of your d10, and since you'll also be rolling on a bunch of d100 tables, means you'll want something to use in that capacity as well.

[@DrBrangar]

DnD uses basically no d100 (the 2 dice are actually called the d10 and d%), there are like 3 situations that they ever get used, and 2 of then are for DMs

[@Joe90h]

If a Vampire player were on this video the d10 would most likely be competing fiercely with the top contenders here. I used a bunch of d100 rolls when I DMed to randomly generate townsfolk or places. I'd try to go in with a rough idea of the staples but you never know when somebody is going to go to the blacksmith and it's much better to have some random flavour descriptions on hand so people don't tune out. There's nothing more boring than "It's just a normal blacksmith" when you can have dice quickly decide to add details like "There's a dragon's bottom jaw mounted on the wall, and the person working the forge has a peg leg". Players are going to ask if the two are connected... and that's interesting. But yeah, they're never used in a fight.

[@laterkater4213]

Call of Cthulhu is great for this too, all your stats are out of 100 and you try to roll under your number, with graded success and failures.

[@Stephen-Fox]

@@laterkater4213 Absolutely - Any of Chaosium's BRP games. I just figured that someone who wasn't already in a TTRPG group was probably going to have an easier time getting a solo game to the table than a group game.

It's 4am at the time of writing, but my inner dice goblin made me click. Lovely shiny plastic math rocks, I must have....

[@Thufir42]

there needs to be a sequel to this video with unusual dice (i just love my skewed d6, they are the best)

[@Stephen-Fox]

Fully agree - They should pick up a set of DCC Weird Dice specifically for a Part 2 (and then maybe play DCC so they get to use them - I think the Oxventure group would have a lot of fun with a DCC Level 0 funnel...)

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

I'd love to have a Gömböc D1. It's basically useless and nonsensical but that's what makes it fun:)

I was rooting for D6 the whole time, I also breathed a sigh of 'YES' when it won.

[@JokerCrowe]

Something I've always appreciated about this show is how much it feels like just friends hanging out. Especially when you go off on tangents in Show of the Weekend, xD I really like that I can sit and listen to a couple of buddies talk about their experiences and making jokes without it feeling too much like a video with a specific purpose. I hope that you get what I mean, what I'm trying to say is that you can Rank Dice all you want for all I care, its you - Luke and Ellen - I'm interested in "hanging out" with. 😁

[@Kagrynac]

[@Connor_299]

If you were to step on the 4 sided die and it went into your foot, would you take one D4 damage?

[@JezzyCatProductions]

As someone who's actually stepped on one I'd have to say that a d4 actually deals d8 damage.

[@adambooth7755]

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Perhaps even *rolls1D4* 1 times...oh..

[@GriffinWolf]

I mean, Spike Growth is basically just covering the ground in D4s... so stepping on one is surely 4D4 damage. Every step.

[@thomaslane1547]

8:00 I love how the Blades in the Dark theme starts subtly playing in the background as Luke starts discussing the D6.

[@hello_robot]

You guys have the best energy, and we would happily watch you guys take apart a keyboard for cleaning in the next SotW 💜

[@jonleonard1555]

I liked the musical queues of the d20 and d6. D20 had music from their D&D games where it's the prominent die. The d6 had music from their Blades in the Dark game, which is the only die it uses.

[@TheLurkingWriter]

Agreed! Also, the Blades in the Dark music (which Luke composed) is playing when he mentions Gravity RIP too (which he created), which I thought was a nice bit of synergy.

[@jamesw6374]

The question is, Luke (and I’d genuinely be interested to hear your thoughts on this 😂) D6 with numbers…or dots?

[@allgomesareevil6121]

I know I was not asked but would say dots for easy readability. The dice don't have a "right way to look at" it 🙂 Edit: And know as we discuss it, dots are easier to read and agree upon if you don't use the same numeric system.

[@xstarsystemsx]

The numbers do look a bit out of place on it, don't they. 6 dots looks a lot more satisfying than just a plain old underlined 6. (Why is it underlined? There's no chance it could even be 9 anyway? Are my dice calling me stupid?) 😂

[@green_dragon_knight]

I love the dots, and the aesthetic of the different pattern for each number - they remind me of the suit icon patterns on playing cards or mahjong tiles

[@TheLurkingWriter]

There is also the aspect that dice with dots are usually indents, which can easily be felt - therefore making the results quickly identifiable even for people with limited or no visual acuity. When my nan was alive, we were able to play certain board games together despite her being almost fully blind because she could still feel the dice results (she was very independant and refused to let us tell her what the number was).

[@Failedlegend]

@@TheLurkingWriter main issue w/ dots is they look weird amongst the other dice w/ numbers and assuming you just using D6s they somehow feel cheaper to me

[@JezzyCatProductions]

The worst die is "the luck die" or the d13. We use it in our games as a sort of entropy die for when things are outside our control, 7 is best with 1 and 13 being the worst. Closer to 7 the better the result. That thing has caused us so much pain

[@fabiennetrefzer9075]

"Dice explosion 🎉" sounds just beautiful and makes me wanna start playing more table top games😅😊

[@Failedlegend]

some games even use "exploding" dice where if fo example you roll a 6 on a d6 you get to roll another d6 usually up to a maximum of x times based on diff factors depending on the game

[@bilbo_t_baggins2762]

I'd be interested in a let's play snakes and ladders episode.

[@TheMachinehead112]

Only Luke and Ellen can make me watch a 20 min video about dice

[@soundmatt73]

D10's will always have a place in my heart as they were the dice used in the first RPG I played - Vampire: The Masquerade Little factoid - The reason for the '0's rather than 10 and 100 on the dice is so you can have numbers like 001 - 009 as well as 20, 30, 40 etc. Love the channel and love this video, you're all awesome! 😄

[@countcain]

This!! Also my first ever TTRPG was Pulp Cthulhu, which basically only uses D100, so I got used to it very fast. I get the idea of just using two D10 and I actially did that for my first playthrough because I didn‘t own any D%, but my DM made me chose which one was the D10 and which one was the D% before the game. Just to keep myself from cheating with the 47 or 74 thing. So I do like D100 but I also get why someone who hasn‘t used them a lot wouldn‘t like them as much.

[@Rubrickety]

"This hexagonal shape made up of triangles." Somewhere Matt Parker is weeping.

[@ShadeTheHedgehog88]

Having grown up on Yahtzee and being a dice goblin playing a rogue (you can throw so many D6s with a sneak attack) … I agree with Luke on the D6 being at the top.

[@FriendB]

Speaking of Gravity RIP, could we perhaps get some more of it on the channel please? It's too brilliant a game not to feature a few more times. Thank you~

Over the years we saw our ‘weird’ hobby become mainstream in every video game there is. I own a full set of various dice in honour of his memory. This may have been a ‘filler’ video but it was a funny tribute to all table-top gamers. Thank you 😊

[@tevura3943]

[@thajocoth]

My dice has a d3 mixed in with them. I use it a surprising amount while DMing for D&D. It's similar to the d4, in that it does the whole triangle thing. That same purple set also has unusual shapes for the d4, d6s, d10, & d100, but normal d8, d12 & d20. The d4, for example, is like a stretched out d6, but with two opposite sides curving to rounded points instead of being faces, so they can't be landed on. It changes the d4 to no longer be a caltrop. The other redesigned dice are similar extrusions of a hexagon for the d6s and decagon for the d10 & d100.

[@sambridgett]

Well the limit of my D&D knowledge comes from watching Oxventure vids and I never realised there was a D100 die, I thought you rolled something else and did a bit of mental maths. So whether intentional or not, this video was genuinely educational 🎲

I've only ever used a D6 for tabletop/board games because I haven't played any games where a dice with more than 6 is required... I honestly didn't even know that it wasn't just called a die/dice, but the gift to Ellen from Andy was really pretty. I absolutely love the show of the weekend/s because Luke and Ellen have an absolutely hilarious friendship, I laugh literally every time I watch an episode, even if I'm previously in a bad mood or feeling down.

[@travisspaulding5835]

[@sethneville]

I was at PAX Unplugged last year, and got to play D&D (just as a player, not a DM) for the first time in ages. It was the Dragonlance intro adventures, and my kender Wildfire circle druid got to roll for setting off a big explosion. It was SOOOOO satisfying to roll a big handful of d10s, I wasn't even bothered by using some d100s in the mix, or by the fact that I rolled terribly (like, a 32 with 10 d10).

[@Tirza_]

I loved this one oxtra. The most nonsensical topics is where your fun shines the most!

[@noahbuddie]

Shadowrun actually uses all d6 specifically because instead of having to buy dice, you could raid your other board games to get dice to play.

[@tonbokarasu2973]

I feel that they should do a follow-up video with things like a D7, a D24, a dAverage and a barrel d4.

[@cearnicus]

_/picks up Luke and Ellen._ I love it when you guys do this sort of stuff. And oh my lord, are those sparkly dice gorgeous. I mean, just _look_ at the closeup at 12:40! Anyway ... the d6 has another thing going for it: it's tileable. People make portraits out of them. Also, what about all the other types? There's also d100, d60, d30 and more. There's even oddballs like d3, d5 and d7 apparently.

I have to admit all the pretty die and fantasy elements with the chance for imagination in character creating and story telling makes D&D so intriguing to me, plus seeing so many KZbinrs I like go on about their own characters and such just really makes me want to try, then I remember I'm a social anxious person who would probably choke up in a session

[@Thinktank6]

Damn this was compelling. Thank you for being interesting people and for sharing that with everyone.

[@TMAC_burninator]

Good video. Here's my favorite: the D12, because it has greater range than a D6, for more nuance in determining levels of success, and because it has fewer sides than a D20, making it less prone to roll around like a ball while still having a satisfying feel to it.

[@Jatrick_66]

Look forward to next week's keyboard ranking video where you rank each button. Give backspace the love it deserves

You really gave the cameraperson a workout with this one:) Totally agree on D4, it's just not rolling right- D10s are fine by me though. That is a gorgeous set by the way, glad we got a closeup on them!

[@heathernicol3026]

d20s are classic, iconic, pretty, AND satisfying to roll! Plus, they’re often the largest in the set, so you can FILL THEM WITH MORE GLITTER!! ❤ I like d4s and d8s - I bought a bunch of defective dice, and the d4s and d8s in particular make really cool necklaces. ^_^

Luke, I'm sure you'd love one of those D100s that is basically just a ball. And for the nerd in me: D4 - tetrahedron, D6 - cube (so square it's just squares), D8 - octahedron, D10 - decahedron, D12 - dodecahedron, D20 - icosahedron. D100 - balls.

I totally would watch you cleaning a keyboard. Recently I cleaned my keyboard from work and I broke one of the "holding thingies" of the space bar key. So I replaced it with some cardboard, a plastic strip and a metric ton of glue. Had to cut out a peace of the space bar to make it fit in again but it works now. Just in case you have a similar accident with your keyboard.

Lol, was Luke a theatre kid? Every time I watch him do something (relatively) unscripted, I’m impressed with his characterizations and comedic timing! And Ellen is definitely his perfect foil. She brings chaos to his (again, relative!) orderliness, is a never-ending font of ideas, and can easily play either the straight-man or the partner-in-crime! The d10s have always been my favorites. 🙃

Seven best tabletop dice list video, what has been missing all this time.

All my RPG sessions use D100 Exclusively. It is an S-Tier Dice Arrangement.

"What shall we do for this Show of The Weekend?" 🤔 "Decide which dice is best?" 🤷 "That'll do". 😁 Best video of the year. 😉👌

this is SO funny. I just bought my first pair of DND dice and they're the sharp-edged kind, and throwing the d4 is the least satisfying thing on the planet so this thumbnail really spoke to me. I was just griping to my partner about how much I hate the d4. I love its limited numbers but MAN does it feel and sound weird!

[@katrichardsonwriter]

But have you seen the Infinity D4? It looks like a little brick that's rounded/wrapped around on its small ends so it always lands on the long, flat sides. Whichever number is on the top surface is your roll. Easy to read, easy to use, and they don't stab you in the foot a few days after they get lost in the carpet. Also; they stack neatly when you need to brick someone up in a hole in the wall with a cask of amantillado...

Luke, just to help understand the d100 (because for some reason a lot of people try to overcomplicate it by thinking you should like subtract 10 or something because "there's no way it could work with only 00" or "how do you roll a 100?"), you just add the numbers together. The lowest number you can get is a 00 + 1, which gives you 1, while the highest number you can get is a 90 + 10, which is 100.

[@VaughanCockell]

No, no, no. That's not how it works - you don't *add* anything. You *insert* the numerals into their spaces in the final result. The d10 produces the numeral (0-9) that goes in the "ones" space. The d% produces the numeral that goes in the "tens" space. Simply put the numerals side by side. For 100, that number has a 0 in the "ones" space, and a 0 in the "tens" space. So a roll of 0 & 00 reads as 100. A roll of 1 & 00 reads as 1 because you have a 1 in the "ones" space and a 0 in the "tens" space - 01. Simplicity itself, no addition required.

Such a great video watching you guys break down dice. Feel like there should be a channel for that. You could call it 'Breakers of Dice' or something.

The oxventure in the dark music was a nice touch

13:18 "A d8 is jsut two d4s" ACTually, two d4s make a d6 (because one side each goes on the inside), the thing that you love Luke!
