I like my polyhedral pics at the top of the page. However, none of them have anything to do with anime or with videogames. The holy grail would be a picture from an anime or a videogame that shows a 20-sided dice, but to date I’ve never seen geek dice appear in either.
But my collection of viewed titles is quite limited. So, to all of you prolific otaku: can anyone think of an anime in which there were some (preferably well-drawn) polyhedral dice? (Ideally in a title that is still in circulation so I could obtain it and get some sceencaps.)
I ask this knowing the effort is futile, but knowing also that I can’t let it go until I ask.
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
The Loot Lottery
What makes the gameplay of Borderlands so addictive for some, and what does that have to do with slot machines?
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
Black Desert Online
This Korean title would be the greatest MMO ever made if not for the horrendous monetization system. And the embarrassing translation. And the terrible progression. And the developer's general apathy towards its western audience.
Rage 2
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
I can’t think of a single case of it.
All the RPG gaming anime are extended advertisements for collectible card games (e.g. Yu-Gi-Oh) and they don’t use dice.
they do use dice in that one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh where joey becomes a slave for that one gamer dude and has to dress like a dog. they play that other game but it escapes me as to what its called. I supose it doesn’t matter anyway the dice they used were unique to the game. :(
Can’t think of one.
In any case, I like the polyhedrals. Very minimalist.
how about a photoshop contest? Let’s submit to Fark and see what they come up with :)
why don’t you just draw your own dice, goober. you could draw the most awesome dice the world has ever seen.
Ps, Dan I thought we agreed to never mention YUGIOH gaynes again, it’s unclean. you need to start scrubbing with bleach again.
I’d rather scrub with Plastic Little.
I remembers seeing anime characters playing some deviant version of craps with d12s … can’t remember the series now, though.
you might try looking up some japanese RPG rulebooks. most have short manga strips to illustrate rules mechanics and examples.
The japanese cover for WHFRP includes greater daemons of the chaos powers actually playing the game themselves
Although it’s already been established that bringing up Yugioh on this comic page will get me skinned alive, in the early Yugioh manga they play a game that’s basically a dungeons and dragons parody, but it uses d10s. Don’t know if that’s any help.
The Hunter x Hunter’s first OVA’s ending has a shot of Hisoka levitating a… d12 I think. Maybe a d20, while the rest watch. You might wanna look into that.
Yeah, crazy necro, I know. I just couldn’t help it.
I went berserk when Kyte mentioned that die that Hisoka was levitating because I was going to suggest just that… Rarely seen anime. Small world.
