Our channel is a unique look at dnd, the discord chat can be as well. Come join the fun. discord.gg/mXHEk2jHpg
I'd like to see a video regarding differing dice attributes. We know metal does not tumble like plastic, however what about things like liquid core, resin, etc. in how they roll. Metal dice with round edges? Why is it that metal must have sharp edges? I would think that is a con and not want to advertise it in the advert title. Idk.
Imagine cheating at a game that's only fun because it's a game of chance, there's no money to win...
Ikr. Not sure why people do it, but they do.
@@WeTalkDD as a dm I’ll sometimes fudge rolls to not kill new players before they get into the campaign. It’s usually more interesting to run with the dice as they fall tho
@@elliejelly8815 that's really nice of you to do for new players though
@@zeechy it also helps to have early sessions be more social because you still get the whole rolling and learning what stuff is without the risk of losing a character and also on top of that the motivation to continue playing
@@WeTalkDD I was amazed that loaded dice exist.
Protip for dice rings: If they ever start to stick, just wash with soapy water. They spin really smoothly then.
thanks. had no idea
When I hear poachers killing animals for their horn I think about drugs and food spices.
But never a $2800 DnD dice set
I’m hoping these are not from poachers. I’d be surprised if they were. But I certainly don’t know.
@@WeTalkDD if you can find a mammoth then by all means poach that but first I'd call a scientist about discovering an extinct species ... The walrus dong thing may be but I'm guessing they already killed them for the rest of them and just sell it. Better to not let things go to waste. But there is a special place in hell for someone poaching an animal to use their organs for games
I love how he is starting Directly into my SOUL
As long as it's never seen the inside of a rock tumbler, plastic is fine. Good old sharp-edged Gamescience plastic dice are as cheap and fair as ever.
the whole "perfectly balanced and sharp edge" bs is just successful marketing done by gamescience to trick many people into thinking it matters.
Artisan Dice is making dice out of human bone now.
I actually just bought a 28mm set, much larger than standard dice but not so big that they're unusable. They look a lot like the original D&D dice, just standard math rocks. I like how visible they make rolls, no leaning over the table to see what you got.
That’s crazy. And a bit concerning. Like where do they get the human bones from?
@@WeTalkDDthey get them from retired medical cadavers. Not fresh cadavers but the old medical skeletons you see in classrooms and doctors offices.
I gotta be the only RPG player that doesn't care about their dice. Just give me a set or two to use as my tools to play the game and I'm good. Now my pencil for notes, that's *very* important 🤣
There’s always a thing like that that matters
You do know that as someone with an official dice collection habit problem this video is seriously enabling :D
Excellent video man! :)
making the video really didnt help my collection addiction much either
@@WeTalkDD haha!!! I bet... which was the most expensive you went for? :D
BeardClipper I went to buy the copper with green but it sold out before I could. I’m on a waiting list for those
Awesome video man you were just putting out good vibes keep up the good work👍
Thanks man, I'm a shipwright and I was looking at using my resin experience to make some dice for my friends. Your video has helped me on my journey on what makes a good set of dice!
Really glad you enjoyed it and got some inspiration for your dice. I’d love to see what you make when you do it. Makers rule.
I love your enthusiasm. Great breakdown on this video 👍
Keep it up!
Jacob Hobbs thank you. Really appreciate you stopping in.
I love your enthusiasm and detailed scripts. Thanks for your videos.
You’re most welcome. I enjoy making the videos and sharing fun and dungeons and dragons
I didn't know about the salt water test. I might have to try that sometime. I did roll all my D20s hundreds of times and found there was a definite bias towards some numbers. Unfortunately with most of my dice, it was lower numbers. My game science D20 was definitely the most fair. Despite that it still tries to kill me on a regular basis.
Mine too. Mine too
Easy sub earned, love the enthusiasm. keep doing good work!
i bought a really nice dice case hand painted with the sigil of one of my characters that also functions as a dice tower. As a DM, i associate dice with certain characters just so that when the players see that *one color changing dark purple d20* hit the dice tray during a round of surprise combat their stomachs SINK when they realize who it was before it’s even said! Sort of like leitmotifs but nerdier X)
That’s a really good idea on the big villains or major pains the arse have special dice.
Thanks for the video man, it was pretty insightful. I loved the end bit where you actually described and pointed to the videos :D . Also grats on breaking the 100, next up 1000
Your lips to gods ears :)
i absolutely love your energy my man keep it up :)
Thank you. I appreciate it
Entertaining video about those dice we all love!! Loved those exotic dice!
Moose poop dice was my favorite part!
The Dungeon Coach the bullwinkle special delivery dice!!!!
I got a hollow dice set from Amazon. They're from AncientDeer. They are great so far. It also came with a dice bag and dice box (with pads in the box I assume to roll into)
If you want to talk about caltrops... When the Path of Chaos Metal dice kickstarter finally delivers, there will be quite literal caltrops you can roll.
The tungsten ones must be stunning! 😍
However, to properly feel the density of tungsten, it would be desireable much bigger dice than the usual sizes.
Yes for sure but you could imagine the price jump too
@@WeTalkDD
Unfortunately yes! 😣
As an owner of these Tungsten dice. The standard size they come in is definitely PLENTY substantial. The d20 or d12 feels like you could mistake it for a 50mm steel ball of twice the size. I don't know the actual density of tungsten off hand, though
I had a nice set of metal dice and kept them in a dice bag: bad idea. The corners would cause dents in the adjacent dice and messed up the paint inset into the numbers. They each needed a separate, padded compartment in a chambered box to keep them nice.
I’ve noticed metal dice roll for a shorter distance which is nice for not losing them, you randomize them in ur hand by shaking anyway. Metal dice also don’t have bubbles as much as plastic ones. That said I love all my dice
Thanks so much man, I appreciate the video
Happy to be of service.
Very interesting, and very cool
Dice Dice Got have them all!!!! I used dice base on my on my mood as then dm lol Congrats on the 100 subs!!!
Thank you. I have a ton myself for sure
i love your vids you give out good vibes and you super positive
Thank you. Too much negative in the world these days. Nice to be able to bring some of the other side
For some reason I didn’t get notified of this video.
I like dice but I’m cheap.
Congrats on the growth 💯
Thank you. Glad you were still able to see it.
The solid copper/solid brass are actually zinc with paint most often. Rarely they'll be electroplated and it seems to be advertised when it is, to help with their higher cost.
Rly useful tysm :))
Glad you enjoyed it
what an amazing video for having under 100 subscribers
What about the Momento Mori dice that are made with human bone?
The Salt Water test for balance checking is very flawed; 1: the slightest air-bubble can throw off the result. 2: Water simulates a weightless environment, which is not an environment in which we roll. 3: Any minute flaw that the test reveals, is completely negligible because of real-world factors, such as weight of the dice, surface upon which it is rolled, speed of the dice upon initial contact with the rolling surface, and any barriers, be they intentional (dice rolling tray), or unintentional (game book you placed on the table)... seriously, those factors play more into your final result, than the balance of the dice itself.
I agree. When I did the video is was a popular request. The reality is they are pretty fair unless it’s a loaded situation
Bruh. Walrus Wang dice.. if you can make hard dice out of that I feel bad for Mrs Walrus. Fun video!
Isaha Cook hard Dice, hard Dice? I get it
Theres is a die on artisan dice called the memento mori, it's only a d 20, but it's around 300$ and is made of human bone.
I thought weighted dice could be an interesting game play mechanic if I could figure out how to integrate it
I saw a shop on Etsy that was selling loaded dice. I saw another shop that was selling D20s that had 20 on every side but one. The one side had the number 1 on it. I messaged the seller to see if they could make a loaded dice that would land on the 1 every time. I thought it would be hilarious if a dice that had 19 20s and a 1 to land on the 1 every single time. Unfortunately they couldn’t do that for me though.
I have an all 20 die just for fun.
I was waiting for wooden dice to be mentioned! I imagine they are quite balanced if cut with enough precision.
Do metal ones keep people’s fingers smelling like coins?
F1st. Very interesting video man!
you were first. thanks for checking it out so quick. which was your favorite of the ones i showed?
@@WeTalkDD the mammoth tusks built definitely out my range.lol
ZERO'S HOBBIES I think out of all of our ranges.
I tried out a set of metla dice. Haxtec Ancient Silver Metal DND Dice Set D&D 7PCS Large Rounded Antiue Iron RPG Dice Red Numbers for Dungeons and Dragons TTRPG Game Gifts. They were very cool to look at but they were heavy and rolled like shit as they would just drop onto the table and barely roll. The heft interfered with the arthritis in my hands so I ultimately wound up returning them. They just were not for me.
Yes. I found the metal ones to be great for display or used in a dice tower. I didn’t like them when I hand rolled them
I wonder what the legality is around woolly mammoth ivory since ivory is heavily regulated
For a game that is heavily reliant on dice, common sense would suggest that precision and balance are the most critical factors. Laser cut with the numbers printed on instead of etched or drilled in... just like professional backgammon dice. Gravity Dice are your best option for precision and balance.
My mom saved my old baby teeth, I should put them into dice for an awesome necromancer dice set.
when youre done, check out the dice explanation video here czcams.com/video/P1K4Oihrla8/video.html
Platinum dice would be the best dice as it's the most stable element
Iridium actually is #1 with Platinum #2 but Iridium is extremely hard to work and 6k and ounce
And what do you think about gemstone dice ? :)
I don’t even play dnd but I have 6 dice sets
Why would I ever roll my dice in the dark?
Metal dice d4 is a legit weapon
Dice Fairness! I want to see some etiquette, techniques and whatever else it entails. Dive into what we should and shouldn't do!
I just ordered a set of 6 translucent D20's that each have a different color!
Dice rolling is as about as superstitious as sports, theres no "right way" to roll dice. Its per the players beliefs of how to roll it, wether they use a dice tower, dice tray, use 1 hand or 2, its a matter of what you believe gives you the better roles
I choose whichever set is not going to ruin the table with scratches, dents, or skid marks.
When you’re invited to a game, it’s incredibly rude to damage the host’s furniture.
No doubt. I think it’s rude to not have a dice tray no matter your dice material
So after 40 sets of die in 44 years, I found 2 red d20 plastic that roll on the high side and crit my players a lot. So love those. There's no need to buy more, now I just give cool dice as presents.
Metal dice, cause they’re so metal.
🤘😈
Save or Die insert Sam kennison yell here
its not 2,000 dollars though
gah... this channel seems cool, and I only found it 3 years after it stopped publishing videos. =(
I feel real uncomfortable with the way he looks at me also i always hear about the d4 caltrop but why are you leaving your dice on the floor
Accidentally leaving them on the floor. But same question for legos
I think any set of dice crossing the line of 50 USD is just for show and will never be rolled in an actual game. Just roöö your cheap ones and replace them as soon as they go cheating on you.
Can’t abide any bad rolling dice.
You have to wonder about the mentality of people who want dice made of animal (or even human) bones.
I use metal. I like doing damage!!!!
OVERBOARD DM roll for damage, literally
OVERBOARD DM Roll for damage, literally
Yea damage to those poor wooden tables!
@@WeTalkDD No joke, my first metal dice was a giant d20 from MDG, reduced price because of a few edges weren't as sharp as others. It's now my eff all die. To this day, I keep it in a pouch and break it out with a THUD before asking, "Are you sure you want to do that?" Gets a chuckle every time, and never fails to have a new player from pulling a stupid.
You are off base on float testing dice. There are several Internet sources explaining why. Google Dice Mythbusters for additional information.
these are cool! except the mammoth tusk one, how self centered do you have to be to take a finite resource of an extinct animal and think “i should break this apart to use for my hobby”
#100
Murray Nuckols woot woot!!!!!
Solid sterling steel for over a grand? 😣 Serious rip off. Sterling silver is stupidly cheap.
Yeah well I couldn’t find anyone else using it to make dice :)
The various CZcams call to actions are so obnoxious. Just focus on making good videos instead.
Absolutely the worst speaker ever.
Thank you. Very constructive feedback. At least I have nowhere to go but up.
I completely disagree.... I feel he did a great job Speaking and presenting. Take your negative arse elsewhere
Wow wouldn’t the mammoth dice 🦣 🎲 be technically be part of the ivory trade? I hope there is paperwork to prove it’s from an extinct species instead of an endangered protected animal 🐘.
