Go On a Bizarre Adventure With These Weird Dice
Normal D&D dice are great and functional at the table. But there are so many cool, unique, and downright weird dice that deserve attention.
We all have standard sets of D&D dice. In fact, we all arguably have to many sets of standard D&D dice, but there are some unique and truly weird dice out there that we could be collecting as well. Are they as functional during gameplay? Not always. But they are very cool to look at, show off, and collect. And really, isn’t that what’s most important?
1. Spiral Dice
These dice are definitely not the standard dice shape we’re used to seeing. In fact, they almost remind me of flowers, but in an alien sort of way. These dice are what flowers look like on alien worlds. And I love them for it. The rounded spiral design is really pretty, but also clear what numbers you’ve landed on. The thing that may not be clear is which is the D12 and which is the D10 since their shapes are all so similar. But if you line them up before game time, that should be easy enough to keep track of.
2. Spinner Dice
While I don’t think I’d ever show up to a D&D session with a dice ring and expect my DM to allow it, I can’t not appreciate the ingenuity of spinner dice. They’re subtle enough to pass as jewelry in your day-to-day life with a spinning function that’s very fun to play with, plus they’re D&D for a win/win/win triple threat.
3. The Dice Gun
Is the concept of a dice gun absolutely wild? Yes. Would I have thought of it-let alone made it- in a million years? Absolutely not. But somebody did and now you can shoot little dice out of a spinning cylinder for that perfectly random roll. I don’t fully understand this one, and I don’t have to. But I do understand that this is perfect for the gunslinger at your table.
4. Giant Glow in the Dark Dice
Yes, most of us use two D10s for our D100 rolling needs. And yes sometimes a die this big can be a little difficult to read. But if you’re in the market for a glow-in-the-dark D100, you may not be shopping for functionality and functionality alone. You’d be looking for something fun and you would have found it with this die. That said, at 45mm this die is larger than your average gaming polyhedron and well-balanced to boot, so why not go for style and usability?
5. Tiny Dice on the Go
Have you ever found yourself suddenly without a full set of D&D dice? No? …Well now you definitely won’t! this 58mm tube is full of less-than-1-mm dice, for all of your on-the-go tabletop RPG needs. These may be more of a curiosity or a party trick than functional gaming pieces for your day-to-day use. But something about being able to use a bottlecap as a dice tray is very fun.
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We need that money to buy even more dice.
