My dad had a couple of really weird dice from his DnD days that each consisted of a clear plastic d10 with a second, smaller d10 inside of it, so you could do percentages with a single roll. They don't strike me as being particularly practical, but they were kind of cool.

I've got a d100 that basically looks like a large golfball. But I've also got a d30 and a d24 that look about as weird as possible. And an awkward d3.

My original RPG die (that I still have) is a d10, though. And it's about 35 years old now. It was from the era when you literally had to draw the numbers into the etched parts of the die with a white crayon, because they weren't made with pre-printed numbers.

I've basically got dice from four different decades in my collection.

And I roll like shit using every single one of them.

Stop playing DnD if you think d20 is the base dice.

To be fair, it basically is if you're playing 5e.

Or 4e.

Or even 3e, for the most part, because it was the origin of the d20 OGL in the first place.

Sure, other dice ARE used... but the d20 is easily used the most, and has been for about 20 years now.

d20 years now
