Never before has an image on ebay made me feel so physically ill.
My OCD is roaring.

Well now you have to buy them to fix it!

Im actually looking for these exact dice. Basically, I want the 1 spot to be red and all the others to be blue or some other color. What did you search for to find these on ebay?

Bah nevermind, I found them. Apparently the 4's are red too. Anyone suggest dice that meet the above criteria I mentioned?

One of these things is not like the others; one of these things doesn't belong.

They totally did that on purpose.

[OCD intensifies]

If you were truly OCD - you would call it CDO - as at least that way it's in alphabetical order like it should be.


I have an OCD guy in one of my clubs. I do this to his dice at least once a week.

What I think I'll have to do until it is corrected

What people don't know is the whole brick is actually molded that way just so you can't fix it.

I like to drop a different color gaming stone into my buddy's bag of stones every once in a while, and cackle as he digs frantically for it. Or subtly move NPC's during a tabletop game so they are on the intersections of the grid squares.

'Course, he periodically returns fire just as bad, so it's all fair.

Huh, i must not be so bad after all. I look at it, shrug, and think "well, they got it pretty close. At least there's only one not lined up".

Well great now I have to track down a company.

That's the problem. If they were a huge mess, it would just be a huge mess. But this is almost perfect... almost.

No human being would stack dice like this.

Being "So OCD" and actually having OCD are completely different things.

No sane person would not see how screwed up those dice are.

I would, just to bother people.

Very true. When a pattern is disrupted pretty much everyone's brain takes notice of it and raises a red flag. It's stranger when your brain doesn't really register it honestly.

A friend of mine won't let anybody else touch his dice, if they do somehow manage to touch his dice he will throw that dice away. He also has various rules around reusing dice, for example if a particular dice fails an armour save he'll not use that dice again for an armour save but instead use it for something like a leadership test that needs a low number. Makes no sense to me.

Well... aaaactually... the dice we usually buy are slightly imperfect, making them favour a certain side. That's why proper casino dice are more expensive, as they are perfectly balanced.
That said, while it's true that our dice favour a certain side, it's nothing we'll ever notice. It's not like it's every other throw is a six. That would be a loaded die. And with the uneven surface most of us roll on, that'll usually be a much much larger factor than any imperfectly weighted die.

But I still do the same as your friend. I'm convinced my dice do things just to spite me, or suddenly decide to start rolling low numbers for the length of a game, so if a handful of dice roll terrible saves, I'm placing them in the cup and bringing out a fresh handful of dice for the next round of saves.

I don't see it.... Looks fine to me.
What am I missing?

Hahaha!

Funniest post I've seen in a while...
