Bar Dice

v1.3 Added .step files and D3
v1.2! uh why can't we download the zip??
v1.2 Added reading chart
v1.1 Added Warhammer Misfire D6 (dm)
v1.0 Initial Release

v1.2! update: I've been informed that this thing won't zip all the files for some reason. This is very strange, considering I haven't changed the files in months. While I try to figure this out, try downloading them one at a time. I know it's tedious, but it'll have to do.

Sometime after seeing and making a set of Q-PID tags from Death Stranding, I got it in my head to make some dice like that. Made of durable solid metal, held close with a string. I wanted to evoke something you could use to play a game on a Martian hillside if you wanted.

That, and I just wanted to make some freakin' weird dice.

Included are:
d2 (flat plate)
d3 (hexagon)
d4 (square)
d6 (hexagon)
d10 (stitched bi-pentagon)
d100 (stitched bi-pentagon)
ds (hexagon WH/40K scatter)

A note about the ds/scatter: it looks weird, but it's actually easy to read. The long lines represent a "scatter" result in the direction of the dot near the line. The short lines represent a "bullseye" result in a direct hit, but still feature direction dots for rolls that always scatter.

A note about the dm/misfire: it should be fairly self-evident, but the side with the long line and large dot stands for misfire, while the hashed sides count 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 as usual. A little clunky, but I believe you can do it.

Notably missing are the d8, d12, and d20. Try as I might, I couldn't make decent models; the d8 and d12 wobbled too much, and the d20 came out too big. So to compensate, you instead roll a d2 and the d4, d6, or d10, with the d2 determining whether the accompany die is "low" or "high."

For example:
For a d20, you roll the d2 and d10. The result of the d2 determines whether the d10 falls in the "low" or "high" ranges. If the d2 comes up "low," the d10 results range from 1-10; "high" results in 11-20 range. So a result of low + 7 = 7, whereas high + 7 = 17.

So for all the odd dice, they are handled thusly:
d8 = d2 + d4
d12 = d2 + d6
d20 = d2 + d10
Is it the most elegant and compact dice set? Not by any stretch. This is pure novelty, but it should still work if you'd like to use them.
