Looking for dice-based TTRPG players, who have a few minutes free time for a quick survey.

[Jd Smith1]

The survey appears to assume that a TTRPG player is also a dice fanatic.

Which means its will give a very slanted view.

While some gamers are dice enthusiasts, it is not, IME, universal.

I took the survey. One thing that I noticed is that the discussion of randomness, balance, accuracy, etc, never came up at all. That's a bit of a red flag.

Personally, I never buy any really weird "artisan" or custom dice because I don't trust them to be true. I've seen all sorts of weird, intricate filled dice and custom shaped stuff, and I get that it's fun to think about the artistry of them. But if you do anything that throws off randomness (due to weight distribution, shape, etc), you're not really making game dice anymore. You're making funny knick-knacks that sit on a shelf. Which is cool and all, if it's what you want to make. But that's basically the realm of craft fairs and Etsy stores, not a startup or serious long term business model.

Also: Dice Questions?

Importance of balance was a question on it.

But the amount of imbalance tolerable is a significant question, too — but intelligible answers on it require a maths background many gamers lack. Such as χ² values.
