The original d20s doubled as d10s. They came uninked and you were instructed to use two different colored markers to mark one set of 1-0 one color and then second set a different color.
Wouldn’t that change the probabilty curve? I guess it could be nice if you wanted to limit critical success and failure but it might reduce the sense of randomness.
That’s actually a tough choice, I like having a variety of shapes for my click clacks but I despise the caltrop d4
Edit: I’ve thought about it, and if I had to choose between a “standard” dice set with tetrahedron d4, or only a pool of d6s, I would choose the dice set and try to avoid ever using a d4.
Standardising on D6 only?
One fun fact about dice is you can have any higher faced die substitute for a lower faced one by rerolling any number not on the lower die.
This is why I only carry a d100
That’s a really shitty d12
How would this work?
I mean you could use a d8 with duplicate 1-4 numbers.

Or a d12 with 1-4 three times, which is what I use for my d4s
Rejig everything so it’s so multiples of 6.
Warhammer moved from D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 to just D6 (and D3 from D6) You need a lot of D6, but they’re ubiquitous.
