“Roll for initiative.”
“Sorry, give me just a minute. I got logged out of my dice.”
Better than “sorry, my d20 is disabled until I pay my yearly subscription fees, though they say d20+ rolls better”
“You should get the Electrum tier. It comes with a +5 to all d20 rolls. It’s only $80 a month if you do a 5 year plan.”
Every 1 is an unskippable ad
You think this is a joke? It’s not.
look inside app
yet more dataslop collectionOh yuck. The render and artwork for the box shows just the numbers illuminating, meanwhile the actual die just shoots light out of every surface. Horrible.
I actually backed their Kickstarter, and after several years of delay received 2 d20s. I ordered mine with opaque surfaces so the light only shines through the numbers. The app has no payment or subscription, but allows you to customise the lights to be different depending on what you roll (like a crit or a nat 1 for example). They were also supposed to connect to roll20 but i don’t think that ever rolled out. They also work without charge because the numbers remain visible, even when not illuminated.
All said, expensive shiny dice are very shiny, not worth the time/money, but very shiny.
Love how the indentations in the top part of the case don’t at all match the dice on the bottom side of the case. Not the right positions. Not the right shapes. There aren’t even the same number of them! Seven dice in the bottom, but only six indentations in the top!
I love that the D10 fits in a hole that is a pentagon, but the hole is rotated 72° such that a corner of the die aligns with the center of a hole-edge.
Probably more indication that it’s Ai slop
The numbers look too consistent and legible for AI… I think it’s a 3D render of a product that isn’t even halfway through the design phase yet, and which may never actually come to market.
The dice seem to be a real product already, so I’m guessing it’s this charging case that isn’t a real product, at least not yet.
Well that’s one way to have exploding dice
Like this?

Would this not make the dice much harder to have a balanced weight?
There is no way the internal battery is symmetrical in every direction.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
For $49.99 extra, they’ll include an extra little inertial motor inside each die that connects to your app and makes sure it lands on the number you want.
As someone who is extremely unlucky with dice and bought balanced ones for a ton of money, if someone told me I had to use these, I would just leave.
(The balanced dice actually works for me)
For Pixels, at least, a great deal of effort went in to making them perfectly balanced.
I got a set of these as a present, they stopped charging and broke before I ever got to use them
So close… Almost there… Unf, just a little more… All the way in… Yeah, wiggle it just like that, and… YES! YES, I AM! OHGODStheCHARGE! 🎉
AI slop.
No, real. I have a set of these.
So like… Do they light up?
Or is it Bluetooth connection to your phone so a proprietary app can
harvest data“track rolls to improve user experience” while just giving you an easy way to reference previous rolls?I’m actually curious, I can’t imagine why dice would need to charge unless they’re light up.
And now I want a pair of light up dice that are brass and have some kind of draconic theme with bones and scales to make the number indicators…
That’s all mine does is light up. No BT
Neat!
How sad is it that my first thought was data harvesting bluetooth app… Everything is enshitfified.
A light up metal set sounds cool.
Really? You can’t envision a way these could be real?
This picture at least makes zero sense, I’ll give you that.
I have those! The d12 doesn’t charge anymore after a few months, though. Sucks.
EDIT I think people haven’t bothered to check what product this is, annoying as this is I think I’ll do myself and others a favour by explaining what this is:
These are dice with LEDs in them, a sensor that tells when it hits a hard surface, and transparent digits on them. When you roll them, the sensor picks us a hit and the LEDs make the numbers blink for a few seconds. They come with a case you can connect via USB-C, each shape in the case has a charging pin, touching a small, metal surface on each die, through which they charge. In my case, even though the d12 is in the right position in its shape, it no longer charges. It’s still a black die with transparent digits, it just doesn’t blink, anymore.
Did it get stuck on a low number?
See my edit, I hope this clears it up.
Lol it was a joke like it couldn’t roll if it was broken. How can a dice like that be stuck on a number 😁 eh
Ah, it seemed to me you thought it had displays and determined numbers from a software RNG Now I got the joke 😁
Hmm Lord Ryvan rolled yet another 20 with his display + rng dice. A bit suspicious I think. It’s a d12…
do the holes in the upper lid also not match the bottom
See my edit, I hope this clears it up.
i know what it is, i was just making fun of the image in the OP because the holes don’t match the dice
I mean, I guess they fit over the dice okay, no?
not the ones in OP’s image
Unfortunately they’re not shipping to the US because of tariffs right now, excepting what arrived before tariffs. Ask me how I know
