• Dice - Usually dice are annotated by how many sides they have. 20-sided dice, for example, are called d20s. The typical dice used in role-playing games are: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. Sometimes smaller or larger dice are needed, so our dice simulator also has d2, d3, and d100 (typically for percentages).
