D&D General Which is the best die?

[iPwnedMSCS]

D7 because how can you not love those lumpy, misshapen, mutants of dice?

Thankfully, almost no one voted for the d10, that abomination which is not even a proper platonic solid !

I love the d4, purest of forms, and can be used as a caltrop in a pinch, whenever ninjas come to ambush your D&D group, I love how they scream "tetsubishi!", the poor mistaken fools !

On the one hand, I find myself wanting to believe this heart-warming story of how someone grew to love the ugly duckling that does not roll. Love of ninjas, and caltrops, and the spiky things that hurt our precious feet.

On the other hand, I find myself suspicious that you are a plant from BIG SHOE, lulling us into believing your lies so that we might purchase more of these monstrous caltrops, and will never be safe walking around our own houses in bare feet, as is our right as 'MURIKANS.

Let me ask you this- does this comment have soul, or sole?

Here's some love for the d16s, d24s, and d30s.

silly die with symbols - I never liked them, until I played Edge of the Empire and the dice heavily improved the game;
d20 - Has a nice result range and 5% increments are really easy to parse;
d6 - the most acessible die. It's always a good idea to think if using only d6 would fit your game.

D4 used to be so blah until I upgraded to these and how my daggers make me feel like they are short swords. Hope I'm not making up for any shortcomings.

The first picture raises a big question for d4 fans as well, numbers on top or at the bottom ?

I grew up with numbers on bottom and it was not until like 3e when someone had something different. It was like when Thac0 was removed and the table was all- this makes so much sense so why did it take this long.

Everything that isn't a d6 is silly nonsense.

My lucky d13!

[Edit, has there ever been a survivor thread for the dice?]

The hero quest combat dice!
