These fools! It is so obvious which way is correct
Both sides know the right way, one side is just trolling
D4s are dumb. Just use a D8/2.
When you roll a d6, and the face looking upwards shows a 1, have you rolled a 6, no? Then why change the approach for the d4?
Number rolled goes up!
this implies d4s can be rolled and not tossed. the number goes on the bottom of a d4 to demonstrate that it is an affront to all that it is good. what you value it breaks because it finds it funny
You nearly convinced me, but I can’t get over how difficult it is to read when hovering above it, so even though it may be what the rotten things deserve, I shouldn’t bear the punishment for the crime of their existence.
Take two different coins: designate one as worth 1, the other, worth 2. Flip both and total the value of the coins showing heads; 0=4.
It’s percentile dice in binary.
Look! I have a… [rummages in wallet] d512 !
I don’t understand the difference–
The guys on the top have their d4s the correct way, and the people on the bottom are heathens that deserve death
The far army has the number on the vertices (4), the close army has the number on the base (3).
Numbers on top is the way, fight me
Hell yeah, brother/sister/sibling!
the heck? Where does one get these dice?
…not from a Jedi…
[dramatic head turn]
Yay, Zocchi dice!
Zocchi was an underappreciated legend
The number is also on top for every other die, why would you change it, unless you’re an evil heretic bound on destroying everything we hold dear.
Evil DMs keep two color-identical D4s, one with numbers up and an evil one with numbers down, and they’re the only D4s allowed on the table. When directed to roll a 1D4, it’s drawn blind and rolled. The hopeful see what they want before their faces give way to crestfall.
The bottom number while more difficult to grasp initially makes for a much easier more consistent readings, and I’ll kill anyone who disagrees.
I’ve never looked at a number-on-top d4 and thought “ouchy if only there was an easier way”. Not once. Whether or not I agree with you, the fact that there is a noticeable difference to you, which crosses a particular threshold, is wild.
Thems fighting words. lol I don’t actually have that strong of an opinion. just a slight preference for being wrong apparently.
A fight to your death it is, then.
The triangular shape naturally draws our eyes to the pinnacle. Bottom-numbered D4 are evil and should be banned.
Number at the top is undeniably superior, it’s functionally more well designed. Not only does it make the die more pleasing to look at, but the number isn’t fighting for space with the other two digits, the other numbers are also angled downwards rather than upwards, further indicating that the number at the top is what you rolled.
Ok but one is clearly superior.
It’s this one.
I audibly gasped. You should really consider an nsfl tag.
You could not be more right.
Where would you place these on the d4 alignment chart?
Those are def chaotic good
I recently received a d4 as a gift that was essentially a d6 but with two rounded faces so it can only land on the four sides. It’s objectively the better experience but feels like treason.
