I have lots of fancy dice sets, but I use ones that I can see the numbers well. Right now it is a dark green liquid core set with gold numbers, so easy to read at a glance.
Weight distribution is important to dice. Spin down dice have all the high double figured numbers together. So unless the number cutouts are backfilled with a colored resin to match the weight that was removed to make the number, then one end of the dice with the single low numbers will be heavier than the end with the high numbers. An unfilled dice like that will on average roll high numbers because the heavier low numbers will end up at the bottom.
Nice collection. I have quite a lot as well, but unlike you, I never saw the attraction of sharp edges. I have some, just because they sort of show up once in a while. Love my gemstone sets. I will be crushed if they break. 😐
Im obsessed with dice, i watch videos about them, i browse webshops with dice and i even go to stores just to look at dice. But the thing is that im broke and can’t afford any and only own one set that i got some years ago… Life can be tough.
Awesome dice and stories. I should go through my dice one day. I have lots of D&D sets, but mostly collect custom D6. I have some from different events or promotional dice for games.
I have a crappy set of dice when D&D first came out, my friends and I scrambled to find dice and then colored the numbers by rubbing them with crayons (love those dice!). I just got a set of blue/purple liquid filled dice and a large D20 liquid filled as well! Opal is a very soft stone, you probably have American opal, it tends to be milky with almost no fire. Sorry to hear about your D3. :0(
mtg use to do the normal sized dice then they started doing dubble the size dice in the deck stuff. the mtg dice look like they are from the newest D&D mtg mix fat packs. beautiful dice sets, love them. you should add the a set of dice inside a dice they are really cool.
Actually, I like the MTG Dice🤔... because they are a bit bigger than others...and I kinda like that difference 😳🤔... My birthday is coming so I guess I will buy them 🤔... But all of them are beautiful! 😍
I can’t figure out how to justify 70$ for the 1985 dice. I buy sets all the time because for the past 8 or 9 years I’ve given them to my wife and kids as stocking stuffers and I give a set to the players in my group at Christmas and occasionally when I have a bunch stacked up. My favorite place to buy from is Kraken, they have liquid core, Hollow, resin, aluminum, mini, oversized, wood, metal, pretty much whatever you want. They have sales several times a year where I buy a bulk order, last year I made an order of around 200$ and I’m pretty sure it was 11 sets of dice, 2 Hollow metal, a cast iron set another metal set, an aluminum set, a rubber duck set, 3 random sets, a glow in the dark set, a resin set as well as 3 oversized d20s of various material, 4 minis, a coaster, a keychain, several dice bags. The metal sets are 8 piece sets (they have a d2) the non metal sets were all 12 piece, they come with d6x4 and d20x2 and a d2.
I didn't want to put prices in the video because they tend to fluctuate a lot but I put links to all the dice / creators in the description. I think the Gemstone dice were the most expensive for about $70 per set.
Personally, I do not like sharp edged dice, they just don't look very good to me. Those gold dice just looked like balls of rolled up tin foil :D I do like the Feywild Honey & Duck dice though
URwizards also does Gem Dice!! I'm currently getting their lava glass set Resin work also for dice can get pretty complicated and tricky from what I've seen and they do dice commission work!

Some dice sets come with a couple extra D6 but I think that it's just standard that all dice come with 1 of each of the standard. Personally, I'd prefer 2 of each (except percentile) and 4 D6s. That would fit most games imo but would increase the price 🤷🏼♂️
