Yeah, WTF is with the die in the right middle, and right bottom? Garbage plastic for landfills.

right middlel: you determine the value rolled based on the number on the bottom.

right bottom: you determine the value rolled by deciding which number you like best.

If the middle one's numbers all match for their adjacent face, it's still usable. You can designate the bottom number to be the selected number, since there's only one side facing down (just as there's only one point facing up).

The bottom one sucks because you'd need to arbitrarily deciding which upward side to choose from.

Bottom pic is the same as the middle ones, you use the bottom surface. It’s just meant to be viewed from the bottom through a transparent surface. Similar to a magic 8 ball

Simple, just look for the number not visible and that's the number on the bottom

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Technically since the numbers have an orientation, in this case you could know the bottom face only by looking at a single visible surface!

You're expected to crawl under the transparent table to see what you rolled?

Well, you could, but most people just use their pocket mirror

You're expected to have a pocket mirror? WTF is a pocket mirror?

I really like the middle one better. I find it easier to read the numbers when they’re printed on the edge rather than the border of the triangle and find it easier to read the bottom side rather than the top corner. I’m pretty sure that’s the only kind of d4 I’ve ever owned.
