D&D General Which is the best die?

d6 since they are easier to stack on top of each other as a way to occupy yourself while other players insist on shopping for half the session.

Heh. For that I go with d20 or d30, because those suckers can spin forever. Get 3 or 4 going simultaneously.

d100s are cool, too, but I always feel compelled to yell "Fore!" before rolling one.

I voted D20, it's iconic
I did recently make a character that uses a great axe just for the chance to roll a D12 once in a while though.

My friend Cass, who managed to act as a random number generator for our group just by being really good at math.

But since not everyone has one of those, Caltrops, yo!

The d20 inside a d20 for all your Advantage/disadvantage needs is pretty cool too… (it’s actually terrible in play)

When I got married the groomsmen gifts were a red D20 that lit up when a natural 20 was rolled. #gamerwedding.

I played with someone that used one of those once. They're super cool. That's a nice gift as well.

I've tried to give people the d20 inside a d20 pictured above (initially they came in a pack of 6) and they've ended up giving it back to me, or just straight up refusing it.

I can't tell from the picture: How big is that d20-in-a-d20? Is that a standard die on the inside?

I've seen those at conventions in the middle of peoples' dice piles, but I've never seen one used.

No, it’s pretty small… for scale
