imo if a ttrpg designer finds that she has tricked herself into writing a game that requires the manufacture of bespoke custom dice. she should at least consider going really old-school and making custom teetotums instead. for a few reasons:
1: you'd get to say the word "teetotum" a bunch.
2: spinny play oracles (tops, spinners, roullette wheels, bingo cages) are unrivaled when it comes to building tension. you get it, you've seen inception.
3: i think tops are easier to prototype at home from scratch than dice, and a homemade top is much more satisfying to spin than a print-and-fold die net.
4: fucked up dreidel. enough said
