I could just be ahving a senior moment but I seem to remember the d4 having the numbers on the flat not the corners ?

Depends on who makes the dice. I have some really nice copper and brass sets with numbering like that.


Ask me about my new M16!

You are right.  But it can be done either way. :)


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I know what you mean by it not seeming right - a D4 is just meant to be the other way round!


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Those are Chessex dice. They've been doing numbers-at-the-points for years.

I feel like I remember a d4 that had one number on each face, so to see what you rolled, you picked it up and looked at the bottom.  Is that a false memory or did something so useless exist?

D4 manufacturer identification is here:

The configuration of other d-sides are more varied than the d4.

If he doesn't have what I was thinking of, no one does.  Must be getting confused as I get older.
