Re: Dice?
I have a large collection that I've accrued over the years. The ones I use most often, though, are a set of three "double d6" (white d12s marked with black pips for 1-6 twice).

Re: Dice?
Double d6 roll beautifully.

Re: Dice?
Just that. Better rolling with less force than standard cubical d6.

Re: Dice?
Makes sense. How about triple d4s, then?

Re: Dice?
I saw those several years ago but I'm okay with my D4s bouncing.

Re: Dice?
I have a bunch of those double-six dice as well, although I don't have enough issue with regular d6 to have prompted me to use them.
I really like that I have enough various d6 that I can often customize the ones I'm using to have colors/designs to match what I'm doing. Although I really dislike 'fancy' d6 that have designs all over the various faces, as they're much harder to read the actual face value. I like pips, but love skulls or dragons or whatever for a single face. I don't have triples, but I do have and use double-fours (d4s that are d8s numbered 1-4 twice) for my magic missiles in the D&D game I'm in. Highly preferable to me over the standard shape, and more pleasant to try and roll.

(Several of the ones johndallman had made used custom pips – elements of a flag, skull and crossbones, etc. – and that works very well.)

I have some of that type, as well. I like the potential extra flavor they can offer so long as they stay clear and readable. Most of the ones I have are newer to me, and I haven't played with them yet.
