    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    It's covering your name and title on my laptop.

    No. I'd just really prefer it if you didn't mess with the formatting.

    There's a video explaining that there is a bit of truth to all this

    Basically, due to how die are manufactured, they are usually a little lopsided

    So if you roll a die a lot of times and it keeps getting twenties, then you WANT to keep using it as it slightly favours twenties

    Mind you, this is in a perfect situation where the die are thrown the same exact way with the same exact force on a perfect surface...

    I filed the edges of my d20s in a rivet formation so it rolls on either a 20, an 18 or a 15 most of the time, and make the 20 too dull to be rolled on, that way I never get a 1.

    Icalasari: Which leads to die brand preferences.

    Some are better made then others and tend to have fewer flaws or the flaws they have are less severe.

    MTG dice are the worst for rolling since all the high numbers are on one side.

    There generally is a slight preference towards rolling either sixes or ones on most normal dice.

    Odd, since they're on opposite sides. Why is that?

    The way the numbers are put on there.

    If you carve them out, then the side with 6 holes is going to be the lightest side, while the side with 1 hole is going to be the heaviest.

    If you paint them on, the difference is going to be negligible- but one set of paint is going to be heavier. Therefore, the side with the most and least amount of spots painted on will have a very very slight tendency to roll there.

    Cygan: That is true if they never make the die to account  for those differences.

    I'm pretty sure that's because thoss differences are barely noticeable.

    You might be surprised chagen.   I have played a lot of table top that sort of thing becomes noticeable.  You tend to avoid certain brands of die and skip on the cheapo bin.

    I definitely have one die that rolls low more often than high.

    The differences are negligible, but it definitely happens.

    negligible on their own but coupled with all the other possible factors they add up pretty quickly.

    That they do...

    Huh.

    It's only really significant with d6's and below though.
  • TuefelHundenIVTuefelHundenIV

    D20's, D4's and D6's are all common offenders.

    It doesn't really work so well with numbered dice, as you can paint the numbers with the same amount of paint each.
