Serious question

Because sparkles.

whoever buy these has a front row seat reserved in hell

Bones are not massive, but rather porous, and pieces large enough to make an actual die are not common.

Adding on to this, I'd also go for solid gold, but I'd be afraid of damaging them due to their softness if they rolled into one another too hard.

There's better options out there.

Edgy

Knowing my players, they'd do laughs and snorts eerily and disgustingly reminiscent of Beavis and Butt-head and go "haha, bone!"

Because they're poorly balanced

Not 100% sure but I'm thinking it would be a little too light for my liking.

Why? no mammoths were hurt making those dice.

These are the right answer. Bones aren't often found with large enough pieces of 'just' bone to make appropriately sized die from, and when they are they have varying densities through it, leading to an uneven distribution of results.

>leading to an uneven distribution of results.
Only over tens of thousands of rolls would this matter.

It matters over one roll, it's obvious over tens of thousands.

It literally changes the probability of any particular side being up. Appropriately weighted dice matter if you want some semblance of randomness.

>all those flaws and cracks
My autism would not allow me to roll these. Breddy gud do.

Bones are free though.

>google knucklebone dice to tell these fucks what for
>this comes up
well shit /tg really is /d-lite

I fucking would. Bone dice sound fucking awesome.

>thread about bone dice
>user's first throught was about human bone
What the fuck?

Wood is superior due to the more uniform inner structure, although, I do like me some bone dice.

Fucking buying these for my ERP system

>not making your dice out of jellyfish bones

>casino dice

Enjoy needing to hurl dice at a special surface just to make them properly roll.

I don't like lionizing death. Keep that shit away from me

Only way to properly predict the future. Why skimp out? I don't want my fortune tellers using some cow or pig bones, why should you?

Bones are poorly balanced and full of air holes that make them unfair.

Well if they're predicting my cow or pigs' future then maybe I would.

>doesn't like lionizing death
>plays games where you are adventures who kill for cash and often die;heroically and otherwise.

Because I have a fucking solid gold D20 that I already never use because I don't wanna fuck it up. Why would I want more things I don't want ruin by using? I'm butthurt, but I'd be more butthurt If It wasnt a gift.

Yeah, don't roll that shit, gold is soft as hell. One toss hitting an edge, and shit's fucked.

How much radiation do those put out? we talking a couple mGy per year orrrrrr...?

Cows don't know shit.

It's depleted, ideally it puts out no more than a harmless background level of radiation.

I have a set of four bone d6s. Not sure what bone though, probably a large mammal of some kind, like a cow or something given the size of the dice and the rarity of bones that are big enough to do it.

If I was made of money, I would 100% buy a set of these. Like, Christ, I want these so badly, just so I can say I have mammoth ivory dice. What a piece of Veeky Forums bling.

Metal dice are the absolute fucking meme
>expensive
>danger to surfaces
>don't bounce nearly as well as plastic

>dead spirits
As opposed to live spirits?

There is only ONE bone that can produce a full dice set without cracks: Crocodile jawbone.
And working it is one of the worst sensorial experiences ever at an artisan workshop, only comparable with grinding titanium.

That's why they're so expensive, and they don't have the nice bounce of plastic or wood, they're just too light.

I have no moral reservations, but they'd probably be full of holes or have weird weight distribution or something.

a had a set of dice made out of wood where each one was the size of a softball. I rolled them across a carpeted floor for really important things (I got one roll a session after some arguing)

...

Large quadrupeds usually have pretty dense leg bones.
Camel tibia has been used as an ivory replacement for a while.

>what is ivory
>what is hippopotomus
Really nigga

In solid form they should be "ok". I would not burn them though...

I tried carving some of my own from dog treat tier beef bones,

That shit stinks to high hell! its a mix of burnt hair and dentists drill.

and no matter how much you clean em they are greasy as fuck.

Varnish it my man.

Depleted uranium is practically not even radioactive. U-238s half-life is over 4 billion years. Uranium is, however, HIGHLY TOXIC. So, like, don't manhandle them too much or you'll get a rash. And don't eat them or anything.

Well I mean they're dice, I hope you wouldn't solely for the fact that it would be weird to burn dice.

Welcome to fleshcrafting 101: It always smells like burnt hair somehow.

Shucks, guess I'll have to stick to my regular edible dice.

No, but most "legal mammoth ivory" is not actually legal and is obtained by water-mining the Russian taiga and then smuggling it somewhere else to get certified

Funnily enough, I once was at a tabletop/rpg group in which the master was a 50-something years old guy who would often burn dice or throw games out of the window if things went bad for him.
Mind you, he always waited until the session/game was over, but still.

Burning uranium wouldn't enrich it in any way? You'll be fine, just don't eat them as says, although the same can be said for any heavy metal dice.

You should not eat any dice at all.

There's a good dice company that produces dice from all types of animal bones. They have some gator jawbone dice that I want being a Floridian and all.

Nobody tells me what I can't do.

What about eating them with my other mouth?

There are live spirits.

>mold lines
Enjoy your biased dice.

>actually buys into le unfair dice bullshit

>actually believes there are laws of physics
Hah, I majored in liberal arts.

Wait... These aren't dice. They're MtG life counters!

>oh no, a die that will have a slight discrepancy in results after 100000 rolls, I can't take it!

Need I remind you that we're actually talking about dice-shaped anal beads here?

Using a novel dice tower does not excuse you from using low-quality dice.

Isn't that just a die that happens to be made of the same stuff as anal beads?
I mean it's not exactly reshaped to be streamlined for comfort, it's in no way really made any different for the express purpose of being anal beads, so we can only judge them as dice.
And they'd be bad.

Also they're spindowns, not dice for D&D. Check the number arrangement.

What a fag

I have Ivory dice made back in the 1870's. Would I be a piece of shit for using them?

I actually laughed

If you use elephant ivory for dice you're both a criminal and an idiot.
Hippo tusks have cavities/canals inside, even the largest isn't enough for a full set.
And "camel ivory" is shit, you're better off using horn. And horn is for anything but knife scales.

I use an app. Get on with the times, grandpa

There was an episode in the Legend of Koizumi (a Mahjong manga) where Vladamir Putin played with tiles of depleted uranium.

They also changed the quality of the air so the mahjong tiles would spark at the slightest friction.

I have a better question: why, OP, wouldn't you swallow my whole cock?

>chokes on a d4

Underrated.

Why would someone make dice of a guy licking his own butthole?

Because no one else made one.

what if you use your own bones?

>not using semi precious stones
ya'll are lame

rate my dice, think there balanced?

>GM
>if things went bad for him

the fuck

No, you need to cook until you have a crisp exterior without drying out to preserve the flavor for the dice to be balanced.

In Polish, the word for "bone" and "die" (die as in random number generator cube) is the same, "kość".

So, for pun reasons?
