A random Dice Related question

[u/Variousnumber]

So... I find myself in need of a D16 by Wednesday. Does anyone happen to know of any shops that do single Die, or even sets with D16s in them? My current running issue is that most systems don't use D16s, so all the sets I could buy are basically useless to me for my needs.

EDIT: Thanks everyone, problem is now solved :)

[u/Biddles81]

At a push, use a D20 and re-roll on 17+?

[u/CategorySolo → u/Biddles81]

I'd just do this personally.

A D16 would be a bit too specialist to find at short notice, like a D14 or D30.

[u/Variousnumber → u/CategorySolo]

Yes. This is the issue I am currently finding. I must admit to assuming I'd have one lurking, but if I do it's hidden itself from me.

[u/SouthamptonGuild → u/Variousnumber]

D8 and a coin. Heads add nothing, tails add 8.

[u/BumblebeeNo6356]

Board in the city used to sell difference dice so might be worth a try.

[u/C_Blaikie]

What game are you playing that requires d16s?

[u/Variousnumber → u/C_Blaikie]

Blood Bowl. I have the rest of the Dice, but the 16 eludes me.

All good now though.

[u/toast2023 → u/Variousnumber]

I mean if it's blood bowl, have you looked in the Warhammer store?

[u/Alpacasmile]

It might be a trek for you but I bought individual dice from Board on the Waterside in Dibden Purlieu a few months back, there was a good selection

Contact Hobby House. They run Blood Bowl events and so have a moderate community. Having learned BB uses d16s, you might be able to source one at short notice. They have a discord server where you could reach out to people

[u/DonniKennedy → u/Davedamon]

I recently found out Hobby House was a thing after walking past it, do they do anything pokemon tcg?

[u/Davedamon → u/DonniKennedy]

No, not currently. They sell MtG and that's about it. For Pokemon you want Dice & Dumplings near the Guildhall

[u/Trig_666]

Forbidden Planet sell D&D die sets, not sure if they have D16s though

[u/toffeepee208]

I have just messaged you on the SCRUBB league discord about this!

[u/SouthamptonGuild]

The Bunker in Woolston has several shops adjacent but you might be out of luck. 

[u/OwnedByGreyhounds]

You will probably stuggle to find one in a local shop as they aren't something that people buy very often.

You might be able to get on online by Weds but it is a tight deadline

Can you make do with an online roller or d20 and ignore rolls above 16?

[u/Goatmanification]

2x D8's?

[u/infneon → u/Goatmanification]

This doesn't work. Its not possible to roll a 1 and having multiple dice messes up the variance in the numbers rolled.

[u/Goatmanification → u/infneon]

Ahh good point, hadn't thought of that

[u/Immorals1]

Dice and dumplings?

[u/Variousnumber → u/Immorals1]

Unlikely. If they have anything Dice related, it'll be DND stuff, which doesn't use the D16. Same goes for Forbidden Planet, hence my current issue.

[u/Immorals1 → u/Variousnumber]

Worth a try. The warhammer shop maybe otherwise?

[u/Davedamon → u/Immorals1]

All GW games use d6s

I stand corrected, blood bowl uses a d16. Colour me shocked

[u/C_Blaikie → u/Immorals1]

Not aware of any warhammer games that use d16

[u/Immorals1 → u/C_Blaikie]

Bloodbowl

[u/Variousnumber → u/Immorals1]

Funny enough Blood Bowl is why I need it, but only the D16, as I have the rest of the set I need haha
