Dice are Cool

[Agent Oracle]

Just take a d12 and number it 1 through 4 three times... the same way they make d3s and d2s out of six-siders.

Speaking of d12's, I have about nine of them. (based on their coloration i suspect that the large red one i've had since the beginning is a female and very fertile.) Are there any game systems that make more use of them? I've never found a system that used them as anything more than an afterthought.

Nice sure are cool. I just got a Pound-o-Dice from Chessex a couple days ago. I was so happy!

My group plays a lot of GURPS and we really missed the dice. So we actually started using the 20-sider for combat. It made a lot of difference! Yes you don't get the "bell curve" effect that 3d6 gives you but it's worth the loss to have the excitement back.

I wouldn't want to change the shape of the d4. We use a red one for the party's campfire, it is just the right scale.

My only regret is that there aren't enough uses for the d12.
