20 Sided Dice
The d20 is a platonic solid known as theĀ icosahedron. The d20 is the most popular and iconic die in the D&D dice set. In fact, it is often used as the symbol of role-playingĀ games inĀ general. After the d6, it is the second most popular die sold. Though D&D requires only one d20Ā to be rolled at any given time, manyĀ RPG players prefer to have a wide selection of d20 on hand forĀ different characters, different situations, advantage/disadvantage rolls, and more.Ā
The Oldest Twenty-Sided Die
The oldest d20Ā on record is from Egypt and dated to 300 BC. An ancient roman twenty-sided die dated to 100 AC sold at auction for nearly $18,000 in 2003. Despite the longevity of human understanding regarding platonic solids, the d20 was officially patented by the Tokyo Shibaura Electric Company in 1950. The first d20s ever released for D&D wereĀ numbered 0 - 9 twice. š¤·āāļø
