What games even use a d120?

Believe it or not there's also a d-400. It's basically a golf ball.

@@ihateeverythingparodyplus5024 where would you find the d400? Is there a link showing it?

yes, though like the d100 and the odd-numbered dice shown, the d400 is not a "true" die (ie a uniform polyhedron, which means all sides are congruent and meet at vertices with only one type of angle around them), as the d48, d60, and d120 are the largest of that kind which physically work in 3D space, with the d48 exhausting the entirety of the cubic symmetry group the d6 and d8 are part of and the d120 exhausting the symmetry group the d4, d12, and d20 are part of. You can make a fair die with any number of sides either by rotational symmetry like the d10, d3, and d50 he showed or by an analytical method (take a sphere, place flat circular faces on it and then run a ton of simulations to adjust the positions until it is as close to fair as you can get, then sometimes they adjust further to make it look like a polyhedron like most the lower-number odd dice), but a d120 is the largest die that looks and acts like the traditional platonic solids.

@@citrusbutter7718 it’s definitely harder to read with that many sides, and takes longer to settle because of how round it is, but like with most other uniform polyhedral dice (the d4 being the main exception), on a d120 every face has an other face parallel to it on the opposite side, and thus should always have exactly one side facing up & flat when it stops on a flat surface, and that side is marked with the number you rolled. Similar for “golf ball” dice with an even number of divots it can stop on, 1 divot will be flatter than the others and it has the number in it.

No it's a 3 sided dice (just heavily weighed towards two of the options)

Yeah its a 3 sided dice because of the edge

but it more than that because of the ridges

@@Pajanimations Not all coins have ridges.

Me too lol

gravity falls is cringe

Yup, those other unfair dice were polyhedra, being close three dimensional shapes where every side is a polygon, but the polygons were not congruent, making them not isohedral. Another mistake that some people make is that only the platonic solids are fair dice, which Is not true, the faces don't need to be regular, and there can be a different amount of faces that meet at a vertex. For example, a triangular bipyramid with congruent faces is a fair d6, even though three faces meet at the apexes, but 4 faces meet at the vertices at the shared base of the pyramids.

What a bold open

No, you misunderstood, I rewatched it to make sure,, it can't land on the opposite of seven because the seven is on a point. You can land a seven, because it's opposite side is flat, and because it can never land seven down they left that spot blank, but you can definitely land a seven for your outcome.

This only makes sense if you don't know the max roll and also don't want to count the sides, otherwise you're gonna spend just as much time trying to find the 1

@@pocarski Except the 1 is one of the 9 single digits which stands out from the two digits numbers.

I have actually ended up with a few of those in my collection since this video's creation. If I end up doing another one, I'll have to bring them out!

The camera used here has none, unfortunately.

Lol o gsus..

Those were the only colors of the dice available to me at the time, I try to be consistent, but it's not always possible.

I know this is 1 year old, but it means it's a solid shape made of little edges.

A 100 sided die is pretty usefull. I use them too for some selfmade P&P's.

I believe that’s called a D12.

Theoretically, a "true" die is one that has identical faces with no gaps in between them (the d120 being the largest possible configuration). So any die where the faces aren't the same, or where they've been cut from a sphere don't qualify, so every odd sided die is technically not a "true die" (as are a few other configurations). Of course, it is still possible for them to have the function of dice, landing on a given number with equal probability if thrown randomly.

A true die must have the property where any set of rigid transformations rotations, translations (up/down, left/right, forward/backward) that moves one face to another must also do the same for every face. And there must be a set of rigid transforms for moving any face to any other face. These are the relevant transformations for dice because they are the only ones that occur when a die is thrown. You can see on the picture at 13:00 images of two d6s and two d12s that are all warped, they are true dice because every face is the same and oriented the same way with respect to each other. They just lack irrelevant symmetries. While you can weight the d13, d15, and d22 to be fair for a particular set of rolling conditions you could never weight them to be fair under all rolling conditions. There are only so many symmetries that can be made to work in three dimensions. Although technically any even number die can be made fair if they are trapezohedrons like the d10, but in practice you just end up with nearly unworkable shapes like the d50. Trapezohedrons are duals to antiprisms so they are basically three dimensional space stealing infinite regularity from two dimensions. The tabletop, itself being two dimensional, becomes angry when struck with these dice and force them to roll longer.

Thank you!

I can't unsee It now

It was a d38

I wouldn't say "giant", but I do have many more dice than any reasonable person would.

do you know how many or... is there really just that many

I haven't kept track of how many exactly, my reckoning would be a couple to three hundred or thereabouts; plus maybe a hundred more if you count the ones that are tied to specific games and thus always in the game boxes.

wow...

They don't, but the dice are good fun. Some games require certain types of dice but I've gone far beyond that because I just enjoy it.

Huh, your not wrong about dice being fun, but some are just confusing 😂

Yeah dude needs to cut those grody $50 cocaine nails.

@@saltykrug Right? But then again, I personally hate long nails even on women. I'm a chick and I keep mine short. Long nails to me say 'I don't do many physical things.' Strong man hands with short nails are hot af. Okay, I'm typing a bunch of stuff on KZfaq comments what have I become.
