In this comprehensive video, we delve into the world of dice, comparing the three main types: plastic, metal, and gemstone. If you've ever wondered which type of dice is right for you, this breakdown will help you make an informed decision.
We start by exploring plastic dice, the most common and affordable option. From their wide variety of colors and styles to their lightweight and easy-to-store nature, plastic dice have their advantages. However, imperfections and lower uniqueness compared to other types are notable drawbacks.
Next up, we examine metal dice, known for their durability and customizable designs. While they offer reliable rolls and a range of unique styles, they can be harder to find and potentially damage dice trays due to their sharp edges. Cost is also a factor, with metal dice generally being pricier than their plastic counterparts.
Finally, we discuss the luxurious gemstone dice, prized for their exquisite beauty and handmade craftsmanship. Though they are unmatched in elegance and uniqueness, their scarcity and high cost make them a collector's item rather than a practical choice for everyday use. Additionally, there's the anxiety of potentially damaging these precious dice during gameplay.

Another great vid, man! On the cons for plastic / acrylic dice, you hit the nail on the head- had a few sets that have had air bubbles on the surface and a few where the paint looked absolutely horrid and flaky and I had to ink them myself (Thanks Chessex lol). Let's not talk about my etsy custom dice I received. On metal dice, bought myself that gold set from a well known and trusted dice seller in the UK. When they arrived the tin was punctured and dented by the dice and the gold was peeling off some of the dice. By the way, I've got those caltrop dice, within the hour of having them I dropped the d4 and it went out of sight... probably the most terrified I've ever been looking for a dice waiting for 1d4 piercing damage lol On the gem dice, I don't have any and will probably hold off on getting any, but that doesnt mean I wouldn't snap them up on the cheap. Also, I'd say the swirl/mix/gemini plastic dice have the same appeal in their uniqueness. There is probably little chance of finding someone with the same mix and swirl pattern as someone else. I would love to hear your thoughts on soft/round edge vs sharp edge. Keep being awesome, man!

I love everything about this comment. I was totally going to talk about sharp vs soft edge but then I thought it'd be getting too niche haha and the video would be super long.

You missed talking about wooden dice. Stabilized wood dice can look very pretty, with the only cons being that there can be imperfections in size since they are usually hand milled

Nice one, no issues wuth cuts or production all looked good. You might want to investigate leather dice trays. If you're not vegan. I have one I found from someone in Europe on Etsy, it rolls up for transportation, is soft inside but tough as nails and 3mm thick. I think it's perfect for metal or gemstone dice. Can be had in various sizes, so you might even find one that would be big enough to roll multiple gemstone dice at once on.

Thanks heaps. I do have a new dice tray with leather that I got after the metal dice ruined the old one. But I think I am too nervous to see what happens with the spiky ones lol.

I’ve been wondering the difference between acrylic and resin for plastic because I see people say resin is better than acrylic but no one says why.

I've also seen Silicone dice. From what I hear they're pretty terrible because they bounce alot. I don't have any myself, so I can't say for sure that they are bad.

Silicone dice are great, especially if you are playing on a wooden or glass table! If you power chuck them they will bounce a lot but they don't go crazy if you roll them as normal. Worth checking out!
