Despurrado was the name and they were a Tabaxi Monk. One of the most enjoyable characters I've ever played. It was my first character and I learned very quickly that D&D wasn't just all about combat even in combat. Stealing from then outrunning a dragon to lure it into a trap was the most fantastic play I've ever made.

The cards are probably the most interesting. Lots of opportunities to do things like give people a small hand of rolls or wait to reshuffle so luck cant be too consistently good or bad

I've seen dice cards before (hell, _Catan_ has an official set as an expansion), but not d20s, and certainly not looking that nice!

I had a thought once. It is inspired by the Futurama miniseries where the characters go on a quest to destroy the "anti-backwards" crystal. The "quest" is because Professor Farnsworth's son is using the crystal as a D20. During the quest, the crystal is used as a weapon. It is thrown when the character is entering an encounter with a creature. Whatever is rolled determines what action the character does to the creature. There is a list that comes up with all the possible actions. I was inspired by that to give a character in DND a D20 that is used as a weapon. The player will carry the D20 instead of a projectile weapon. Whenever they throw the D20, it grows to roughly the size of a boulder and bounces toward the enemy. Whatever it rolls happens to the enemy.

I got all the players in my group all-20 d20s for Christmas. I don’t think the DM has realized yet.

As someone who collects decks of cards, this was an easy insta-buy. Such a great idea!

I actually just bought myself the roulette spinner for my birthday in January (Or the pocket watch die as I think of it) and I kinda love it. The only concern is you need a DM who’s willing to trust your rolls when they’re not right there out of the table in dice form

The emergency D20 can be a realy cool magic item. I would give it to players to use it once similar to Divination Wizard portant. You can also replicate this by writing 20 nr on 20 pieces of paper shuffle them, make the player to chose one face down then put it in a envelope and seal it with tape. Usualy players like this kind of games and you can give them as a reword after they visit a oracle or something like that

That Roulette die looks great not just as an impromptu die set, but as a conversation piece too. You also mentioned using it for fidgeting and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted...

The CMY Cube seems like a cool way to randomly determine the type of elemental dmg. Blue=Cold, Red=Fire, Yellow=Lightning, Green=Acid, etc. If it's a colour that's in-between or doesn't align with a dmg type that you want to use, you could divide the dmg value in half between the two primary colours that make up the colour you rolled. For example, if you rolled Purple you could just make it be both Fire & Cold dmg and in-game you could have the effect be like steam or dry ice. Or if there's different shades of colours, they could represent different things. So maybe Light Green is Acid, but Dark Green is Necrotic. Essentailly the perfect use for it would be a magic item that casts Chromatic Orb, but of a random element. That way the die itself could serve as a physical manifestation of that player's magic item (since it literally is a chromatic orb or sorts).

You can use blank dice if you're the DM and want to disguise the sound of how many dice you're rolling! Anyways I love the idea of a karma deck, I was thinking about how in French tarot (the game not the spiritual thing) you don't shuffle the deck very efficiently because it keeps the likelihood of someone having a good enough hand to make a bid so you can start a game. If everyone has a bad hand you usually just end up reshuffling. So having tarot cards or something in DND with a loose shuffle to keep a level of NON randomness seems interesting to me, like people are so concerned about dice being fair but sometimes things aren't fair and it's cool to leave something to destiny. Maybe unfair dice for a lucky or unlucky character instead of just relying on things like advantage.

I bought some blank D4s to turn into dragon's teeth (concrete pyramids used to create impassable terrain for vehicles) for 20mm and 15mm scale historicals.

My favorite non-standard dice in my (humbler) collection are Go First Dice. It's a set of four 12-siders that among them have the numbers 1-48 once each in such a distribution that any possible ordering (say, highest to lowest) of any subset of the dice is equally likely to be rolled with no ties possible - no rerolling over and over to determine seating/who goes first, among other applications.

Thanks for showing the variety, there's something that interests almost everyone I'd imagine! I quite enjoy collecting the ones with unusual facets, D9, D14, D18, etc. even though in practice they're nigh-on useless.

You carried my attention through a whole video about tabletop dice. Cheers!

I really have no clue when it comes to these types of games... but randomness is awesome. From cards to dice to roulette wheels. Seeing the different methods to basically come to the same conclusion. One result out of X.

Honestly, that roulette dice from the thumbnail makes me feel like im a Time Lord, but the revolver dice also look cool!

My favorite set of nontradition dice that I own is the "Draconic Anomaly" set sold by Viridian. Each dice is a unique shape as well as all ofthem being oversized dice. Some need to be spun while others can just be rolled like the d20.

Instantly picked up the dice card sets. I am a sucker for those!

I would put money on the deck creator being in prison at one point. Using cards as a die is a prison thing.

11:02 Blank dice are great for DMs who want to mess with their players. If you say you're rolling for damage, and roll a whole handful of dice, but only 2 of them are real, and the rest are blanks, it makes your players panic a bit until you announce the pittince of damage they've been dealt. And with blanks you aren't picking and choosing your rolls, you're just making it look like you're rolling more than you are.

The Nat 20 dice with colours is really cool. My DM, who is also my cousin has one of these, and we use it with additional random dice. We usually use it for magic types, an enhancement for spells and/ or random curse effects for vicious mockery. It’s really fun.

These dice are great. The smallest dice actually come from a Pirates of the Caribbean ship game. Thank you for sharing.

Bringing a new level to a “ Dice Goblin “ love it!

And just after I finished my own set of D20 cards XD. These look amazing. Wierd dice are just the best

Those are some cool dice. I've seen a couple of sets of bullet d6's I would want for Traveller games.

I don't remember my first, but my favorite is probably got to be the minotaur Tac of the Nuclera tribe. His father is the War Chief of the tribe, and he has two brothers, Cal and Ti. He is a low-Intelligence fighter who was tired of his tribe getting attacked by metal men every few years, so he left to find a metal man to aid his tribe. He found one when he ran across a Paladin in chainmail armor. We used to do a 2-for-1 stat buy: Reduce a stat by 2 to increase another by 1. I had rolled an 18 and two 16s, so I reduced his Intelligence by 4 to raise his Constitution to 18. Minotaurs in 2e got a +2 to Strength and Constitution, so he had a total of 20 in those stats, and then I put the 16 in Dexterity. Add in the specialization rules for weapons proficiencies, and I put 1 of his starting Weapon Proficiencies Long Bow and 3 in Great Axe, thus giving him a +2 to hit and +4 to damage with a great axe at level 1. Which means his total bonuses came to +5 to hit and +12 to damage. Not that it mattered when I rolled a Nat 1...

I love unique dice. I have a few, including the roulette dice from UniqueDice. It looks like your version doesn't have the same issue mine does. The spinner isn't balanced correctly. If it's flat, it will spin fairly, but if I tip it up, it will always land on the same number (18 I think). I also have dice similar to the cube with the roulette balls. Only they're coins that you flip. Inside is a channel that a little ball will roll in, an it appears in a little window on the side of the coin underneath the number. And I have a set of dice that are flat disks, with a little bump on the bottom so you can spin it like a top. You either put some kind of marker down, or you stop it spinning with your finger. The number the marker points to, or that your finger is covering, is the number you rolled.

I used to have a pair of really small d6's that came in a little wire frame holder on a key chain. I had them since I was a kid, no idea where they came from, probably from the '60s or '70s. I also had a d6 that was black and numbered 1-3 twice. It was from a military board game I had, and it was rolled to see how many units you could move on your turn. I kept them in my d6 dice bag, which vanished long ago, along with my other dice bag (all the non-d6's), one of those great unsolved mysteries of life.

I was going through my collection of dice a while back and found that I have 2 d20 that have 0-9 twice on them. I have no idea where I got them, but I have used them. My current obsession is sharp edge dice

A 20-sided platonic solid, such as a d20, is an icosahedron

dodecahedron, associated with the ether element and is the presiding obvious shape in Metatron's Cube.

The Ice moulds (Not on the basis of their functionality, I like to get my table drunk since my players get up to silly shenanigans that might turn out epic² when they're intoxicated)

If I am not mistaken, tha shape of a D20 is called Regular Icosahedron, a geometric solid bearing no more and no less than 20 identical faces.

I did not read the comments to see if someone answered, but the answer to the question at 5:10 is an icosahedron

Ayo i have those Bone dice. Sadly theyre only cool when you dont need to roll more than 1-2 dice at once

icosahedron, also known commonlly as a d20

the name of the shape for a d20 is I believe in english Icosahedron. more specifially a convex regular icosahedron (derived from ancient greek Icosaëder) similarly the shape for a d12 is dodecahedron (ancient greek dodecaëder) d8 is a octahedron d4 is a tetrahedon I'm sure there are other names as well ( eg if you follow the same logic a d6 would be a hexahedron, but most will call it a cube)

The D20 is called a tetrahedron

A d20 is an icosahedron, and no I’m not getting that from the other comments or the internet, I just know it

A quick Google search reveals that a D20 shape is called an icosahedron. Edit: I originally posted this: "Thanks to The Big Bang Theory, I know that the D20 shape is a dodecahedron or duodecahedron (do or duo = 2 and deca = 10, so 2 tens = 20)." I was wrong. dodeca is not 2 times 10, it is 2 +10 or 12, so a D12 is dodecahedron.

the revolver/bullet dice... if i had the money or the machining skills and tools i would love to design an ACTUAL revolver that fully functions, except instead of shooting the bullet out entirely it gets caught at the end of the barrel so that the bullet only pokes out of the barrel with the number you "rolled" on, basically you roll russian roulette style by spinning the chamber and then pulling the trigger when the cylinder stopped, and you can just switch out the cylinders for different dice from anything between a d1 to a d20... ah if only
