NOTHING! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

But to keep this thread from being just a joke how much dice do AF members have? I have about 50. The most I own are D6 followed by D20. Least I have is a D4(I only have one :o)
Also what's your favorite die?

[Eris]

I don't even remember what I have anymore. I should have most of them. In a box. Somewhere.

Voted D20 as skill checks are for manly men.

[GameGeeks]

You're missing plenty of good dice. Like the D3 or D5. No clue how many I have though. Probably in a box somewhere like Eris. As for my favorite. Gonna go with a D20 too since it's the die lady luck carries.

[.Sev]

I only have the simpletons dice.

@ OP: I don't even

how on earth can a 3D geometrical shape have only 3 sides????

that's like a 2 sided triangle. *head explodes*

Don't take it literally when it comes to sides. Just only has three outcomes when rolled.

[Skylar1]

ah, nvm then. I was thinking in terms of true polygons

Just repeat the numbers 1-3 twice on a regular D6?

[-GAZKUL-]

whatever happened to D12+2s?

[Ranshiin]

Technically a cylinder would count as a 3-sided geometrical object, though this could be debated as the "round" side could be considered to have infinite sides as much as it could be considered one "constant" side.

That and it rarely lands like that anyway. :P

Ontopic: I have no dice. I did once have a 12-sided die, but I lost it.


And now ... time for something completely different.

 

Real Talk.

[GameGeeks]

There's no debate when it comes to circles. It's an infinite number of sides.

[miniPhil]

That's what I've always done with d3's. Also I've never seen the need for a d5. If a need did ever come up I'd just apply the above logic to a d10.

[GameGeeks]

There isn't one, they're just novelty dice for the most part. There are a few games out there that might use them but mostly they're just for fun. And that logic may work for a d3 and d5, but what about a d30?

A little convoluted but roll a d6 with 1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, 5-6 = 3 which will be your first digit. Then a d10 for your second digit.

[GameGeeks]

Except that'd give you a possibility of 40. Unless getting a 5/6 means a straight up 30 and ignore the second die.

[Eris]

You can use 2 D3s to get a number from 1 to 9. If you roll A with the first die, and B with the second, then your D9 result is

D9=3*(A-1)+B

Unless getting a 5/6 means a straight up 30 and ignore the second die.

I think that gives you skewed probabilities.

Sorry typed that wrong. 1 or 2 on d6 should be a 0 so a 1 and a 9 giving you a 9 or a 2 and a 0 giving you a 10. Then 3-4 on d6 is 11 to 20. A 3 and a 7 giving you 17. Then 5-6 is 21 - 30.

... I hope I'm not the only one who didn't make a single iota of sense from this post.

And I have been reading this thread since the start. >.>

Ok, you roll a d6. A 1 and a 2 on a d6 means that the number will be between 1 and 10. A 3 or a 4 is 11 -20 and a 5 or a 6 on a d6 is 21 to 30. The second roll(with a d10) will be tell you the exact number. So you roll a d6 and get a 3(the number is somewhere between 11 and 20) then roll a d10 and get a 7, so the number is 17. Or if you roll a 1(1-10) and then your d10 is a 0 then your number is 10. Any simpler?

Well now that you explained it better then yes, I understand perfectly. :]

[Nanobyte]

D6, I'm retro. *shakes cane*

This gives you a dice that can roll 10-39.

A wise guy eh?

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

Much simpler way for d30:

Roll (d4-1)*10. If four comes up on the dice, reroll.
Roll d10, and add it to your previous number.

That gives 1-40.
