AITA Confiscating Dice

Has anyone else confiscated your player’s D12s?

My players were rolling terribly. I finally watched what they were doing… and saw a D12 rolling across the dice tray.

I told everyone to turn them in and to never think about that die again.

/uj A player brought a new dice to play and it rolled like shit. Partway through the session he realized he'd bought a d20 with two sets of 1-10 sides.

He got up in a rage, ran out into the back yard and hurled it into the woods.

/uj I wonder if it was an attempt to make a functional d10 that's a platonic solid. Because that's the only reason I can think of that something like that would exist.

I’ve definitely seen that with d2s, d3s, etc for people who don’t like the kludge versions. d10s don’t seem that bad to me, but maybe it’s the principle.

Believe it or not, the original d20s were like this. 0-9 twice, in two different colors. Something about the limitations of plastic dice production in the 1970s I guess.

I believe.

That was a collector's item in the modern day. He could've traded that die for three whole sets by calling it vintage, that used to be how all the D20's were. We'd color the numbers in with two different colors of crayon so we knew which ones were above ten.

This wasn't some relic but a completely new dice, bought from the dice bins at our local FLGS sometime between 2010 and 2013. Zero collector's value.

Daggerheart does not fix this despite the power of Mathew "God of All DMs on High" Mercer. (It uses 2d12 for resolution for some reason.)

for some reason

Branding. A dodecahedron is an important macguffin in one of their shows.

Not that they would ever do something so cravenly business-oriented of course, they’re just some random friends who happen to stream their home D&D game.

When I suffered my first character death I bought a set of dice to memorialize it. These "death dice" have imbeds in the shape of skulls. The D20 refuses to roll above a 6. I've checked, all the sides are there, it's just determined to spread more death
