          I had a set of what I thought was long dice, turns out it’s called barrel dice, like these

          The d20 didn’t really work, it was hard to read and took forever to stop if you let it roll. But we played MERP, which is a d100 system, so the d20 was mostly there to tinker with.

      I designed and modeled some rollability-optimized d4s years ago. They were based on reuleaux tetrahedra, with flat sections of the faces for numbers.

      I never got further than printing them, but they rolled well.

      I don’t know why I’m writing this, but if anybody wants the files, let me know.

      EDIT: Here’s a printables link with the parts: https://www.printables.com/model/680575-reuleaux-d4-dice

          I’ll upload them somewhere when I get home from work. What’s a suitable file host these days?

            Hmmm, for 3d models i personally prefer printables. For anything else i just use a git lab repository.

              Excellent point. I’ll stick 'em on printables.

      And also completely useless.
      Just roll a 120-sided die, divide the result by 30 and round up.

      I would rather use D12s and round down

            (D12 mod 4) + 1 uses two simple operations and uses whole numbers.

            ⌈D12 ÷ 3⌉ uses two more complex operations and relies on rationals, or worse, decimal approximations.
