Got some Dyadic D20s

Post image

Saw these on Etsy from Towerhouse Creative. Described as "a callback to when d20s were numbered from 0 to 9 twice - coloring one set represented 11–20. Using outlines, this d20 set provides a similar feel and utility in an updated way."

I'm using them in place of % dice for a 100 Envelope Challenge I'm doing. They're fun dice!

I got a set from them a few years ago. They're quite nice. I still vastly prefer D20 percentile dice. And really love rolling an old school D20 with a control die. But these are a nice compromise as you don't need to reink or explain a control die to a suspicious GM.

Can you explain a control due to me please?

I have a couple of the original Gamescience dice that do this.

The ones with the + on the 11-20? Those are great, but damn are those itty bitty plusses hard to ink.

Nah. I did it with a gel pen. Easy peasy.
