I collect
numbered and pipped polyhedral dice. My dice collection is split into four
parts:
|
Shapes (D1…D120), in particular isohedra
of all types (Platonic solids, Catalan solids, dipyramids, trapezohedra,
prisms, anti-prisms etc), plus spherical and other dice. |
|
|
|
Configurations: Have you ever noticed,
|
|
Dice with
special numbers or pips. ”Regular” dice (Dn) come with numbers 1..n, some with 0..n-1 (e.g.
D10: 0..9). However, there are many dice with other numbers, e.g.
non-transitive dice, Sicherman dice, cheaters, and others. |

|
Dice as random
number generators. The main purpose of dice, apart from being collected, is to generate
random numbers. This section shows my collection of such number generators
based mainly on isohedral shapes. For a desired range of random numbers (e.g.,
1..4), there are often various shapes possible: tetrahedron, square prism,
octahedron with the numbers 1..4 printed twice, dodecahedron with 3 x (1..4),
etc. |
In order to
keep my effort within reasonable (?) limits, I am interested neither in the
color nor the material of the dice, and I prefer standard sized dice (16mm).
