d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20. Have any other numbered dice ever been made?

A friend has a 2d6...yep, it is a larger plexi d6 with a smaller d6 inside, quite funny. He has also a d100 (golfball size) and a gumball with a d20 inside...not so good as a dice, but bounces around if thrown

d3 are quite known, but I'm the only one in the group who owns a d3 (a d6 with two 1s, 2s, 3s).

In some gamer's shop I've seen d2s.

My collection includes:

d02 (often, but not always, and bills don't work properly)
d4
d6
d8
d10
d12
d20
d24
d30
d100 (the golf ball to 3.5's golfbag o'weapons ;-))
d10-in-d10.

i have a d30 a d24 a d5(not a d10 witha 1-5 twice, an actual five sided die) a d100 and a d2.

Does anyone know if there are any d5 ,7 etc that aren't just long prisms? Die like d16s or d24s.

The d7 is like a wagon wheel with 2 big flat sides labled 6 and 7 and 5 sides on the round part of the wheel. I don't think it is very true.

The d5 I'm told is a pyramid-like shape. I haven't seen one yet.

think Dradel.

 

[RFisher]

just curious is anyone else uses the same method for rolling percentiles as I do. I roll 1d10 and 1d20.

Yeah. I do that sometimes. 'Cept the d20 involved is marked 0 to 9 twice, with little plus signs next to half of them.

The only non-prismatic (either truncated or tapered) d5 that I know is the skull-shaped one. There are also d10's numbered 1 to 5 twice.

There's a pic of a pair of the cranial d5's and a d10 numbered 1 to 5 twice in my photo album at the Dice Maniacs' Club. Click on the 4th from last thumb on this page: http://groups.msn.com/DiceManiacsClubakaTheRandomFandom/alexandersdice.msnw?Page=2

AFAIK all d7's, d9's etc are basically prismatic.

Thanks Zander, shame though, I dislike those prismatic dice. How come your a Dr?

I don't know why it took them 30 years, but Wizards is coming out with a new kind of percentile dice that you can simply add up (no exception on the 00 0 being 100)

Die 1 is numbered 1-10 (also getting rid of the silly confusion for new players who think they rolled a 0)

Die 2 is numbered 00-90.

00 + 1 = 1
90 + 10 = 100

Much better. I thought of this ages ago...

How do you get a 90? 80+10? And you can't get 00 can you? It took me this long to work it out .

PhD (or DPhil when I'm feeling pedantic )

Are you going to the RPG con in west London on the last Sat in August? If so, I can bring a few of my more unusual dice for you to see. Please let me know.
