That is the nerdiest thing I’ve ever seen and it’s appropriate that he was wearing a top hat while presenting it.

However, the point of dice is typically not so you can count the numbers but so others can count them. People sitting at a table with you cannot see “up”, they can only see from an angle and so these dice while mathematically cool are completely impractical. Great example of white tower design.

This is glorious. What a world we live in.

How can we make a die that functions as a d6, but has "less pips". An elegant dodecahedron as the solution. Less pips but more sides. Not an economic solution, but I love that these problems are being solved.

This would be a fun video to send to your DM before showing up with these dice.
