Dee or Die!! Do you say dee-6 or die-6?

[Woas]

I voted other

I don't say Dee or Die. I say the number of sides the dice has that I want, and add an 'er' OR I say the number of sides the dice has that I want and add 'sider'.

"Give me a sixer"

"I need a twelver"

"Throw me a twenty sider"

"Slide me a four sider"

Never say Dee or Die!

Blibdlploop (sp) Now there's a hard one. HellHound can tell us how to pronounce it though.

I was once told it was meant to sound like bubbles rising to the surface of thick mud, forget getting to try an pronounce it, just go for the effect.

WHAT?!? DEE from What's Happenin' has DIED?

 

[IronWolf]

Been saying 'dee' for the past 23 years or so...

 

[shaylon]

Dee for me. Rarely would I say something like Die, although people use that word when referring to my PC's all the time!

 

[Travellin_Jack]

I say dee-6, dee-8, die-10, dee-12 and dee-20.

the d10 is a hold over from my first gamemaster. "Grab the die-10s fool!"

 

[Mercule]

d6 = DEE six
bulette = boo lay
archon = ark on (never even thought about an alternative until now)
drow = dark elf
ixitxchitl = lame monster with a bad name, which doesn't exist in my setting
chimera = ky mair ah
chasm = kazm (regardless of what my players seem to think)

The oddest I've heard, just for cadence, was one fellow who pronounced paladin, puh-LAD-in (kind like p'Aladdin, but with an even softer first sylable and a stronger second sylable).

 

[Lyriel Aelorothi]

Dee for me...

 

[The Mad Kaiser]

Actually, "die" is singular, "dice" is plural. For instance, "you are throwing dice at my head", not "you are throwing die at my head".

d20 (dë-twên'të): symbol for 'die 20' ; refering to the die having twenty sides.

WHAT?!? DEE from What's Happenin' has DIED?

Whatever happens, DON'T TELL MAMA.
