Pedant mode activated But the Pyramids are pyramids with a square base, and a tetrahedron is a special case of a pyramid with a triangular base.
As a D5, I wonder if it would roll a lot of, or very few 1’s.
And if the answer was ‘a lot’ I wonder how many dice companies would make the peak a 5.
That’d be a weird die. Even if we’re not talking about balance issues, other than the peak, the 4 other things potentially on top would be not be faces or corners but edges.
The answer is obvious: the pyramids are the tips of half-buried D8s.
That makes it worse.
Yeah, if no side was facing up they’ll have to reroll.
It’s cocked
I mean if I saw this happen I would have a hard time refuting the earth didnt revolve around ra
Well, given that Ra kind of is the sun, they wouldn’t be wrong in that assumption. Though that’s not actually what they believed. They believed that Nut was the sky above them, and Geb the unmoving ground beneath, and that they delineated creation. It wasn’t until the Greek Eratosthenes’ experiment that the idea of a round earth was proven, though it had been suggested philosophically for a couple hundred years before him. The idea of the earth actually moving was also proposed by Aristarchus near the same time as Eratosthenes’ experiment, but wouldn’t gain wide acceptance, let alone be proven, until the time of Copernicus, Brahe and Kepler.
I love the expressions in the last panel.
I’m going to tell my kids that this was “Move Along Home”.
