3-sided die.

[RocketManJames]

Forgive me... I'm going to ask about a ridiculously geeky thing. In those RPG games where you roll dice to determine attacking/defending/etc... I recall there being a 3-sided die (it's not really 3-sided, but it had the effect of giving a 1,2, or 3 as the roll's value). But, I cannot remember what it looked like or how it worked. Anyone know?

Pretty random really... I was reading the other thread on Nintendo games, when someone mentioned a N-sided die, and I was reminded of a 3-sided die that my cousin used to have when he was into those games. And, now I cannot remember anything more about it. It is also possible I am confused, and there never was such a die for these types of games. Or, maybe it was a 6-sided die with two of each value. But, I think it was not as bland as that.

PS: No, I've never played a non-computer RPG game where I needed to physically roll dice, ever.

you sure you don't mean the 4 sided die, pyramid style?

The one all the way on the left.



Google image search is your friend.

4 > 3.

That's the lowest sided die they make..
If you can show me a 3-sided 3-dimensional object (besides a cylinder) then I'll kick myself in the nuts.

Prepare to kick yourself in the nuts.

You're on brotha!
Just clarifying.. it has to be a polygon. Curves don't count.

How about a 6-sided die with 2 of each value?

I also agree an object with 3 equally-sized flat sides and no other surfaces is pretty much impossible in 3-d space.

There, Brainwalter agreed to kick himself in the nuts if you find one too.

Come on partygirluk, my nuts are begging for a foot. Still questing for that holy grail?
