Review on ๐ŸŽฒ Unleash Your Imagination with QMay DND Dice Set: The Ultimate RPG Experience by Ronnie Polk

Nice. Not balanced, BUT READ.

1) Absolutely beautiful colors and most contrast sets are very legible. Nice bag too. 2) Many are unbalanced but serious. in every hobby there are elite snobs. Please read before you decide for yourself. I did a salt water test and chose one of the worst tests. One night GF and I were making literally thousands of rolls for fun while watching TV or something and noting on a table which numbers came up. We used several D20s as the D20s are the roundest and therefore roll heavy side down most often. (Not that it matters, but she's from Vegas and her parents work the casino tables. I just love testing things and making spreadsheets.) My hypothesis was that after enough tosses, it'd be clear that the bright face will be brightest. the number that came up the most, but the question was how often.? The most frequently tested W20 (over 1000 rolls) most often only rolled one side of the one that would normally fall in salt water, the lightest side (remember, one of the worst balanced was the main test). I tracked how many faces from the lightest face accounted for each result. But guess what? The second most convex face was directly opposite the brightest side and a few faces away from the most convex. That means number 2, who rode the most, was also the heaviest, meaning he should have been at the bottom. It's not like this. After over a thousand roles, there was still a large discrepancy between most and fewest roles, but no correlation with weight/gravity; There is literally nothing to see on the charts. So I checked the stats for pro, elite, and even amateur dice. Even machine-made dice, ideally homogeneous in material and density, appear to do so under professional testing and more than ten thousand rolls. (I'm sure someone with a $159 crystal in a padded armored case will correct me here.) These are not the rotors in Enigma machines or the gyroscopes in nuclear missiles. Sometimes I'm a bit too analytical (obviously), but the essence of the game is the feeling you get while playing. So if you like them, just buy them. These dice are inexpensive, look absolutely amazing, and provide enough random numbers for any game you're likely to play. When you want something pricier, cool, but don't want to spend more just for fear that somehow the dice might not behave like dice. You will be. Hope that helps!
