I have zero control over my spending habits.

Roll 3D6 for damage, or get it thrown at you if you tick off the GM. (ttrpg.network)

These are very unusual d10s. (i.imgur.com)
They roll almost as nicely as the aulde skhoole d20s numbered twice, by my testing seem to be more than sufficiently random, and are pretty good conversation pieces when you pull them out in a room of people who’ve never seen them before.
When I want to roll dice openly but don't want the players to know what I rolled. (i.imgur.com)
They’re just bog standard six-siders, honest!...
When it's time to put fear in the hearts of your players on a damage roll... (i.imgur.com)
These are wooden. Obsessive lunatic that I am, I actually rolled them a thousand times and checked that they were sufficiently random for play. I have an all-metal set in my shopping cart ready to buy when I get the urge.
Not all d4s are caltrops. (i.imgur.com)
Taking a break from literal gem dice to show off the best d4s ever made. Not only are these not caltrops waiting to pierce slippered feet at night when a stray one happens to be right where you’re stepping in a rapid trip to the bathroom after a night of drinking way too much tea while playing RPGs, they also roll much better....
Literal Gem Dice: Assorted (i.imgur.com)
The d4 is a special kind of petrified wood. The numbered d6 is (sintered) turquoise. The d8 is a cats eye. The blue d10 is lapis lazuli. The red d10 (tens) is red sandstone with gold flecks. The d12 is opal. The d20 is malachite. The funky d12 with astrological symbols is blue sandstone with gold fleck. The really funky d6 (a...
Dichroic Prism Dice (i.imgur.com)
Sadly I could not find a way to take a photo that shows just how glorious these dice look in actual use. (I’m not exactly a professional photographer.) These are a set of gaming dice cut from dichroic prisms. This makes them sparkle in unusual ways and colours that makes them unique of all the dice I own. They’re instant...
Literal Gem Dice: Unakite (i.imgur.com)
This is the second full set of the many, many, (idiotically) many dice I’ve ever owned that is made from semi-precious stones. These literal gem dice are cut from unakite, essentially a highly decorative form of granite.
Literal Gem Dice: Bloodstone (i.imgur.com)
This is my absolute favourite set of dice of the many, many, (idiotically) many dice I’ve ever owned. These are literal gem dice, in that they are cut from actual bloodstone (a semi-precious stone). For complicated reasons (that begin with Judas Priest) bloodstone is my favourite gemstone so finding dice cut from it was a...
