      Better than “sorry, my d20 is disabled until I pay my yearly subscription fees, though they say d20+ rolls better”

        “You should get the Electrum tier. It comes with a +5 to all d20 rolls. It’s only $80 a month if you do a 5 year plan.”

      Oh yuck. The render and artwork for the box shows just the numbers illuminating, meanwhile the actual die just shoots light out of every surface. Horrible.

    Love how the indentations in the top part of the case don’t at all match the dice on the bottom side of the case. Not the right positions. Not the right shapes. There aren’t even the same number of them! Seven dice in the bottom, but only six indentations in the top!

        The numbers look too consistent and legible for AI… I think it’s a 3D render of a product that isn’t even halfway through the design phase yet, and which may never actually come to market.

        The dice seem to be a real product already, so I’m guessing it’s this charging case that isn’t a real product, at least not yet.

      I love that the D10 fits in a hole that is a pentagon, but the hole is rotated 72° such that a corner of the die aligns with the center of a hole-edge.

    They heard someone say “RGB needs to die already” and misunderstood the assignment.

      Wow. Saw the price and thought, “That’s not bad, really.” Then I realized that was for one die, not the whole set.

        Actually comparable for a lot of specialty dice. Which do tend to be a lot.

      It’s the price you pay if you’re the kind of idiot who has to get the super techy luxury version of something that works amazingly well and functions perfectly fine at $1.

      Literally one of the cheapest parts of tabletop games, and 100% functional at less than a buck or two. It’ll last your entire life too, if you’re careful. If you make a fancy electronic version you can charge whatever the fuck you want because the person already decided they’ll pay more than 100x what they need to for luxury they don’t need.

      They are pretty expensive, but considering each die has to have Bluetooth capabilities and a way to detect the result so it can transmit it, I’m surprised they’re not more expensive.

    I have those! The d12 doesn’t charge anymore after a few months, though. Sucks.

    EDIT I think people haven’t bothered to check what product this is, annoying as this is I think I’ll do myself and others a favour by explaining what this is:

    These are dice with LEDs in them, a sensor that tells when it hits a hard surface, and transparent digits on them. When you roll them, the sensor picks us a hit and the LEDs make the numbers blink for a few seconds. They come with a case you can connect via USB-C, each shape in the case has a charging pin, touching a small, metal surface on each die, through which they charge. In my case, even though the d12 is in the right position in its shape, it no longer charges. It’s still a black die with transparent digits, it just doesn’t blink, anymore.

          Lol it was a joke like it couldn’t roll if it was broken. How can a dice like that be stuck on a number 😁 eh

              Hmm Lord Ryvan rolled yet another 20 with his display + rng dice. A bit suspicious I think. It’s a d12…
