SIDE QUEST: Comment your first (or planned first) TTRPG character’s name, heritage, and class.
It’s for science 🤫
My first character was a bear. Just a bear
Class: Bear, Race: Bear, Subclass: Ambusher, Subrace: Grizzly
This was in a real D&D 5e game. It was hilarious
Despurrado was the name and they were a Tabaxi Monk. One of the most enjoyable characters I've ever played. It was my first character and I learned very quickly that D&D wasn't just all about combat even in combat. Stealing from then outrunning a dragon to lure it into a trap was the most fantastic play I've ever made.
Mine was Tobias Greenthorne, a half elf druid (mushroom)
Lydia Wagner, Gangrel - I started with WoD
James Bork, Half elf Shadow sorcerer
The cards are probably the most interesting. Lots of opportunities to do things like give people a small hand of rolls or wait to reshuffle so luck cant be too consistently good or bad
I think it could be cool to give to a Divination Wizard when they get their Portent Dice for the day.
Mix in two or three decks with different/random cards removed and have two players draw 5 cards each and decide high or low
I've seen dice cards before (hell, _Catan_ has an official set as an expansion), but not d20s, and certainly not looking that nice!
I got all the players in my group all-20 d20s for Christmas. I don’t think the DM has realized yet.
he must be blind
@@cubee4108 Lol, no. We just haven’t used them because we know it’s unfair. Occasionally we’ll joke that it’s “purple die time” (they’re all the same color) when facing a big threat, but he hasn’t caught on.
@@DrFranklynAnderson oh thank god
@@DrFranklynAndersonpull them out someday and see how many rolls you get before he catches on. I'm guessing 3 or 4 lmao
I had a thought once. It is inspired by the Futurama miniseries where the characters go on a quest to destroy the "anti-backwards" crystal. The "quest" is because Professor Farnsworth's son is using the crystal as a D20. During the quest, the crystal is used as a weapon. It is thrown when the character is entering an encounter with a creature. Whatever is rolled determines what action the character does to the creature. There is a list that comes up with all the possible actions. I was inspired by that to give a character in DND a D20 that is used as a weapon. The player will carry the D20 instead of a projectile weapon. Whenever they throw the D20, it grows to roughly the size of a boulder and bounces toward the enemy. Whatever it rolls happens to the enemy.
Thank you so much for featuring the Founders Deck! This is a great collection, and has me right on the edge of buying the bullet dice and that crazy bouncy one. The original video you did for that is bananas.
As someone who collects decks of cards, this was an easy insta-buy. Such a great idea!
I actually just bought myself the roulette spinner for my birthday in January (Or the pocket watch die as I think of it) and I kinda love it. The only concern is you need a DM who’s willing to trust your rolls when they’re not right there out of the table in dice form
The emergency D20 can be a realy cool magic item. I would give it to players to use it once similar to Divination Wizard portant. You can also replicate this by writing 20 nr on 20 pieces of paper shuffle them, make the player to chose one face down then put it in a envelope and seal it with tape. Usualy players like this kind of games and you can give them as a reword after they visit a oracle or something like that
11:02 Blank dice are great for DMs who want to mess with their players. If you say you're rolling for damage, and roll a whole handful of dice, but only 2 of them are real, and the rest are blanks, it makes your players panic a bit until you announce the pittince of damage they've been dealt. And with blanks you aren't picking and choosing your rolls, you're just making it look like you're rolling more than you are.
That Roulette die looks great not just as an impromptu die set, but as a conversation piece too. You also mentioned using it for fidgeting and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted...
Icosahedron anyone?
I'm an icosahedron. We're an oppressed minority 😥
In this economy?
No, its a gyro-elongated pentagonal bi-pyramid(thnx vsauce)
Ye
Rhombic dodecahedron
You carried my attention through a whole video about tabletop dice. Cheers!
The CMY Cube seems like a cool way to randomly determine the type of elemental dmg. Blue=Cold, Red=Fire, Yellow=Lightning, Green=Acid, etc. If it's a colour that's in-between or doesn't align with a dmg type that you want to use, you could divide the dmg value in half between the two primary colours that make up the colour you rolled. For example, if you rolled Purple you could just make it be both Fire & Cold dmg and in-game you could have the effect be like steam or dry ice. Or if there's different shades of colours, they could represent different things. So maybe Light Green is Acid, but Dark Green is Necrotic.
Essentailly the perfect use for it would be a magic item that casts Chromatic Orb, but of a random element. That way the die itself could serve as a physical manifestation of that player's magic item (since it literally is a chromatic orb or sorts).
I love the chromatic orb idea! I'm really excited for pictomancer being added to FFXIV so it had me thinking there's gotta be some cool ways to use a colour die, plus it's just so cool looking I want one anyways
@@concerninghobbits5536 Huh, I hadn't even made an art/paint connection. That could be a cool feature for a homebrew D&D class adaptation of Pictomancer.
I bought some blank D4s to turn into dragon's teeth (concrete pyramids used to create impassable terrain for vehicles) for 20mm and 15mm scale historicals.
My favorite non-standard dice in my (humbler) collection are Go First Dice. It's a set of four 12-siders that among them have the numbers 1-48 once each in such a distribution that any possible ordering (say, highest to lowest) of any subset of the dice is equally likely to be rolled with no ties possible - no rerolling over and over to determine seating/who goes first, among other applications.
My favorite set of nontradition dice that I own is the "Draconic Anomaly" set sold by Viridian. Each dice is a unique shape as well as all ofthem being oversized dice. Some need to be spun while others can just be rolled like the d20.
You can use blank dice if you're the DM and want to disguise the sound of how many dice you're rolling! Anyways I love the idea of a karma deck, I was thinking about how in French tarot (the game not the spiritual thing) you don't shuffle the deck very efficiently because it keeps the likelihood of someone having a good enough hand to make a bid so you can start a game. If everyone has a bad hand you usually just end up reshuffling. So having tarot cards or something in DND with a loose shuffle to keep a level of NON randomness seems interesting to me, like people are so concerned about dice being fair but sometimes things aren't fair and it's cool to leave something to destiny. Maybe unfair dice for a lucky or unlucky character instead of just relying on things like advantage.
Thanks for showing the variety, there's something that interests almost everyone I'd imagine! I quite enjoy collecting the ones with unusual facets, D9, D14, D18, etc. even though in practice they're nigh-on useless.
Bringing a new level to a “ Dice Goblin “ love it!
The Nat 20 dice with colours is really cool. My DM, who is also my cousin has one of these, and we use it with additional random dice. We usually use it for magic types, an enhancement for spells and/ or random curse effects for vicious mockery. It’s really fun.
Honestly, that roulette dice from the thumbnail makes me feel like im a Time Lord, but the revolver dice also look cool!
I would put money on the deck creator being in prison at one point. Using cards as a die is a prison thing.
I really have no clue when it comes to these types of games... but randomness is awesome.
From cards to dice to roulette wheels. Seeing the different methods to basically come to the same conclusion. One result out of X.
Thank you for the video!
Instantly picked up the dice card sets. I am a sucker for those!
They will ship out soon! Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions on the homebrew uses and content once you've got them to play with!
@@draw20cards I already know they are a perfect fit for ICRPG as you can tuck the cards under the index cards to match for challenges and the like. That way, everyone gets that game show feel as we all get to see it at the same time.
I love unique dice. I have a few, including the roulette dice from UniqueDice. It looks like your version doesn't have the same issue mine does. The spinner isn't balanced correctly. If it's flat, it will spin fairly, but if I tip it up, it will always land on the same number (18 I think).
I also have dice similar to the cube with the roulette balls. Only they're coins that you flip. Inside is a channel that a little ball will roll in, an it appears in a little window on the side of the coin underneath the number.
And I have a set of dice that are flat disks, with a little bump on the bottom so you can spin it like a top. You either put some kind of marker down, or you stop it spinning with your finger. The number the marker points to, or that your finger is covering, is the number you rolled.
And just after I finished my own set of D20 cards XD. These look amazing. Wierd dice are just the best
I used to have a pair of really small d6's that came in a little wire frame holder on a key chain. I had them since I was a kid, no idea where they came from, probably from the '60s or '70s. I also had a d6 that was black and numbered 1-3 twice. It was from a military board game I had, and it was rolled to see how many units you could move on your turn. I kept them in my d6 dice bag, which vanished long ago, along with my other dice bag (all the non-d6's), one of those great unsolved mysteries of life.
Those are some cool dice. I've seen a couple of sets of bullet d6's I would want for Traveller games.
These dice are great.
The smallest dice actually come from a Pirates of the Caribbean ship game.
Thank you for sharing.
I don't remember my first, but my favorite is probably got to be the minotaur Tac of the Nuclera tribe. His father is the War Chief of the tribe, and he has two brothers, Cal and Ti.
He is a low-Intelligence fighter who was tired of his tribe getting attacked by metal men every few years, so he left to find a metal man to aid his tribe. He found one when he ran across a Paladin in chainmail armor.
We used to do a 2-for-1 stat buy: Reduce a stat by 2 to increase another by 1. I had rolled an 18 and two 16s, so I reduced his Intelligence by 4 to raise his Constitution to 18. Minotaurs in 2e got a +2 to Strength and Constitution, so he had a total of 20 in those stats, and then I put the 16 in Dexterity. Add in the specialization rules for weapons proficiencies, and I put 1 of his starting Weapon Proficiencies Long Bow and 3 in Great Axe, thus giving him a +2 to hit and +4 to damage with a great axe at level 1. Which means his total bonuses came to +5 to hit and +12 to damage. Not that it mattered when I rolled a Nat 1...
The shape of the D20 is obviously a gyro-elongated pentagonal bipyramid.
It's a regular icosahedron of course, one of the Platonic solids (the D 20).
😂😂😂last one. Love your videos
The scratch off d20 hahaha that's awesome
I was going through my collection of dice a while back and found that I have 2 d20 that have 0-9 twice on them. I have no idea where I got them, but I have used them. My current obsession is sharp edge dice
Back in the day that's the way d20's came. Some of them have a little + sign on half the faces and some don't. We had to color in the numbers with crayon because this was also before they came inked.
The irony of the D4 missile die!! IYKYK
yooo let's go i can get rid of my old playlist of weird dice from you
Half the reason I made this one!
Cool dice
Mema Anaconstanie, Half-Elf,Fighter/Thief
Bro that’s literally the thing doctor strange keeps around his neck. You should prolly give it back.
Halfling rogue I don't remember the name in DDO way back in the day. After that I went on to forever after and to this day be obsessed with rogue / thief / trap master classes in every ttrp or anything similar. However lately past few years I've been trying out caster and fighter rolls. Recently in love with Eldritch casters because spellsword cool AF and Eldritch / demon pact cool AF
A 20 sided dice is an icosahedron. I had to look it up.
I wonder if you have ever seen this crazy dice called the D-everything? I saw a video about it once upon a time and have never seen anything about it again.
you should check out the lord of the dice. think it hasn't made it off kickstarter yet but it is pretty awesome
i made a set of dice from that crayola stuff and made all but one side have "1"s on each side and a "3" and other die with a "4" and ofcourse all other sides "1"s representing in a roll that most peaple dont get paradise (pair A dice) since only a "7" gives paradise. but all others give SNAKE EYES.
Where can you find that spinning revolver dice thing? I need that in my life.
You gotta love when the hobby that can literally be played with ONLY a pencil, paper, and a paperclip is used to excuse rampant consumerism. You can literally replace your dice with a handmade spinner using a paperclip instead of a spinner.
Don't even need to go that far. When there was a dice shortage in the late 70s, they shipped the game with cardboard chits that you would pull out of a bag
@@OtakuNoShitpost now I only need to figure out how to get rid of the pencil and we'll get a paper only ttrpg
Everything is a die if you're brave enough.
😂 if you know you know
A 20-sided platonic solid, such as a d20, is an icosahedron
Back in the day, like the 70s, you couldnt just get DnD dice, so people would buy blank plastic polyhedrons out of math and science school supply magazines and write the numbers on. Those blank dice are a nice nod to that history.
I'm surprised how many of these i saw on Amazon
5:05 That would be an icosahedron
The Ice moulds (Not on the basis of their functionality, I like to get my table drunk since my players get up to silly shenanigans that might turn out epic² when they're intoxicated)
4:01 - Curiosity Box Dice from Vsause
dodecahedron, associated with the ether element and is the presiding obvious shape in Metatron's Cube.
How often do you find d16s? Wondering how common they are as far as nonstandard dice go
5:10 icosohedron. If you’re nerdy enough, you’ll memorize that fact after a few years
I did not read the comments to see if someone answered, but the answer to the question at 5:10 is an icosahedron
Should check out shapeway's axial ring dice and polyhero's class based
I have a blessed D20 with no 1 and two 20s
If I am not mistaken, tha shape of a D20 is called Regular Icosahedron, a geometric solid bearing no more and no less than 20 identical faces.
I think the shape of a D20 is called... uhh... a convex icosahedron?
Ayo i have those Bone dice.
Sadly theyre only cool when you dont need to roll more than 1-2 dice at once
A d20's shape is an "icosahedron."
Concealed carry dice! 😂
Don't let this distract you from the fact that d10s aren't even Platonic solids!
Where can I buy all of the dice in the Intro
A d20 is a form of polyhedron consisting of 20 equilateral triangles, and the polyhedron name is "icosahedron". ye :)
5:20 elemental effects for stuff like wild magic?
you dropped the soap: net 1
icosahedron, also known commonlly as a d20
The d20 shape is a Dodecahedron.
5:05 it's called icosahedron
bone dice was just regular dice for most of history
the name of the shape for a d20 is I believe in english Icosahedron. more specifially a convex regular icosahedron (derived from ancient greek Icosaëder)
similarly the shape for a d12 is dodecahedron (ancient greek dodecaëder)
d8 is a octahedron
d4 is a tetrahedon
I'm sure there are other names as well ( eg if you follow the same logic a d6 would be a hexahedron, but most will call it a cube)
If ever you use the emergency d 20 you should scratch it with a d20
Someone let the dice goblin inside their head win.
A d20 is an icosahedron, and no I’m not getting that from the other comments or the internet, I just know it
in elemetry school i foudn you can make your own lottery scrachoffs with crayons. so guess could just make a bunch the "emergency" scrachoff dice and suffle them and distrubute them abungst whoevers playing that game and have a person that had nothing to do with making them shuffle adn distribute.
I love the deck for someone who hates luck, great way to normalize rolls
A d20's shape is called an icosahedron.
liked for the scratch
5:04 a D20 is a dodecahedron :)
I got a D20 ice cube maker and it was about the worst ice cube maker I ever got. Does it work better as a die?
It's called an Icosahedron btw. :3
A quick Google search reveals that a D20 shape is called an icosahedron.
Edit: I originally posted this: "Thanks to The Big Bang Theory, I know that the D20 shape is a dodecahedron or duodecahedron (do or duo = 2 and deca = 10, so 2 tens = 20)." I was wrong. dodeca is not 2 times 10, it is 2 +10 or 12, so a D12 is dodecahedron.
the revolver/bullet dice... if i had the money or the machining skills and tools i would love to design an ACTUAL revolver that fully functions, except instead of shooting the bullet out entirely it gets caught at the end of the barrel so that the bullet only pokes out of the barrel with the number you "rolled" on, basically you roll russian roulette style by spinning the chamber and then pulling the trigger when the cylinder stopped, and you can just switch out the cylinders for different dice from anything between a d1 to a d20... ah if only
i already know almost all of those :) but i dont know own them though
I need to find a d9 to make somebody roll 6d9
20-sided geometric solid (d20) = Icosahedron
Well there goes my disposable income for the month.
The D20 is called a tetrahedron
Dust on the Road. Tabaxi. Rogue.
Icosahedron
My dm had one of the all in one die
d20 shape is called an icosahedron (i know what its called but not how to spell it)
It’s called an icosahedron
5:04 Icosahedron?
5:05 dodecahedron
No CoinSides?
Still waiting for my pixel die
