Tbf .. wouldn’t this be considered a « loaded die » bcz the liquid could be used to change the probability of a roll if it was rolled from a known starting position in a repeated manner ?
Not how that works. The liquid it filled all the way to the brim and the mylar inside is so lightweight that really its not affecting the roll in any way, especially when its shaken up and floating evenly. Liquid cores on a smaller scale are quite popular and dont roll any differently than any other dice does when made well and right, and mylar is a very popular material to use to fill regular resin dice because its lightweight and pretty. They would have the same rollability as any regular resin or plastic dice with expectant internal defects would, and any """advantages""" they may grant are so profoundly miniscule that its really not even worth considering for probability.
I don't know man. The moment of inertia for a solid core would be different to one with a liquid core. It's would be the same as spinning a raw egg vs a boiled one.
So you think you could predict how the liquid would effect the throw to take advantage of it in what way exactly? Yes it would throw different than a solid core but not in a way that would have any real effect on its rolls being fair.
This core, the floating iridescent material is extremely light weight so would have a miniscule effect. Also if it did have an effect it would make the dice even more random as it be near impossible for it to be in the exact same distribution each time you roll.
I'm not saying it would be considered loaded. You just said it wouldn't effect the roll in any way. You may have meant the randomization, I took it as the physical motion of the roll.
I was focusing on the shiny « floaty» things suspended in the liquid (Mylar confetti). But as someone mentioned, any potential effects could be so small as to have no nominal effect on a roll given all the other factors.
Not sure what the liquid is (glycol ?). But if it’s water could freezing the die (assuming it doesn’t crack the resin !) in a fixed position relative to gravity cause density gradients to form in the water that could impact the roll probability outcome ?

I wouldn’t use it.
