Jokes of repetitive strain injury aside, there was a significant difference in the rolling experience of the three dice.
The glow in the dark dice gave the smoothest roll. The dice was light to the touch and rolled smoothly onto the surface. It was also fairly easy to read, with the black lettering contrasting well with the coloured face of the dice. The only numbers which caused some difficulty to read were 6 and 9 (although this could be because I’m a moron who kept forgetting that the dot should be at the bottom).
The LED dice was surprisingly light to roll, although a really good shake was needed to have it flashing for any good length of time. We were slightly concerned that such vigorous testing would have a significant impact on the battery but this doesn’t seem to have been a issue. If you are planning on continually rolling your dice for upwards of 200 rolls, the length of time in which the dice lights up for does diminish but I don’t know what you’d be doing with the dice for this to happen.
The liquid dice, whilst definitely cool and fascinating to watch with the glitter swirling round, was probably the least user-friendly. It is quite difficult to read the numbers quickly or easily as they are carved into the plastic and not differentiated by a contrasting colour or outline. The dice itself was the heaviest of the three (which surprised us as we thought the LED would be due to the battery) and the vertices were more sharply pointed on my dainty and delicate lady hands.
These observations may or may not help you as a DnD player or avid dice-rolling fanatic (I appreciate this is a cross over article in terms of audience) but it was a pretty interesting test to do. Catch us on our new YouTube channel for more dice rolling fun. I promise there will not be live-action footage of all 900 throws.
