But it is not a d12, it can only roll 2-12, not 1-12.

Also the distribution is a bell curve not flat.

Not really, it's a triangle. It asymptotically approaches the bell curve (aka the Gaussian distribution, which is infinitely long) at higher die counts but good luck nesting that many.

"what?! ANOTHER seven!" smh... 😂

It's a 2d6, but could also be read as a d36.

[–] IndolentRoshi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, except too bad prime numbers exist

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

Let da and db be the results in both d6 dice, the result for the d36 would be 6(da - 1) + db. This gives an equal chance of getting any number between 1 and 36, both included, eg da = 5; db = 5; gives d36 = 29 (which is prime).

Distinguished, these dice have been.

The mythical D11???

Easy - if you roll a 2, flip a coin to decide if it's 1 or 2.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A 1 in 72 chance of getting a 1 sounds good to me

I lesson I have to remind other players of frequently: 2d6 does more damage on average than 1d12

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Its perfect for Warmachine, most rolls need 2d6 anyway.

I have 100d6 already, would be kinda cool to get slightly more fancy ones but for this quantity there isn't really much choice that I have found. Two tone plastic dice is about the nicest option, fancier ones are generally priced in a way you are expected to only buy a few, buying this many would cost like 3/4 figures.

The outside should be a d7 that starts at 0

Paizo has some:

And yes, there should be a d10 inside another d10 somewhere around there.
