Buy some d6s

>buy some d6s
>the 6 on the dice have an indicator line underneath them

This is done for the sake of stylistic consistency with other dice from that particular line/manufacturer.

Next question.

To make it clear it's not a nine.

So that would explain why the 6s also have the indicator line on the d8s too

Yes. It would.

It helps immensely when you're rolling d10s and above with your d6s.

Wait, the line means it's a 6?

I thought it was 1-5,9 for some obscure DnD tradition I didn't know

>Purchase d4s
>Number is at the top, not the bottom

>friend says he has an unreadable d4
>the way he explains it makes us all think it's just got one number per side, like other dice
>this thing sounds hilarious, we want to see it
>he brings it in the next week
>it's just a regular d4, with the numbers on the bottom
to this day i don't know how he couldn't figure it out

All these reasons, except also it means they can use the same stamps for every die.

:^)

lol, maybe I'm just a grognard, but I despise both the top-numbered d4 and the double-digit d10. The former is autism, the latter is because it looks so squashed and uneven.

>tfw you'll never be this much of a brainlet

Don't worry, user.

You already are.

So we all are going to ignore this d6 has arabic numbers instead of dots?
Not saying that kind of d6 don't exist but I feel we are not even acknowledging how is not a standard die to being with

No, that question was already answered in this thread.

>tfw you'll never have a d20 with pips

>buying d6s with Arabic numbers instead of pips
There is no reaction animu smug enough for this.

Many d6'es that come with a set have numerals instead of pips. Like said, for stylistic consistency.

I would imagine they also have more rolling consistency as well. Casino dice have the dots flush with the surface whereas gaming dice usually have the pips drilled out. On small wargaming dice the material removed from the pips and corners of two dice is enough to make a third (which is why they do it) and unbalances the dice enough to roll 1 up to twice as often as they should.

Also stop calling them Arabic numerals. They are Indian numerals.

Wouldn't the dude in your image want you to call them Arabic?

In Arabic they are actually called Indian numerals because they originated from Sanskrit, then were spread to Persia, who were conquered by the Arabs.
