Create dice with numbers, letters, words or colors and roll multiple dice with unique configurations
Numeric dice
Dice are the heartbeat of tabletop gaming. From Dungeons & Dragons to board games like Catan and Warhammer, dice determine outcomes, create tension, and drive storytelling. While standard dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20) cover many needs, custom dice open up entirely new possibilities. Imagine a dice where each face represents a different spell, a random encounter, or a unique treasure. Custom dice let you design exactly the tool your game needs—whether that's numeric values, letters, words, or even colors.
Dice are among the oldest gaming tools known to humanity. The earliest dice, dating back over 5,000 years, were made from sheep knucklebones—the origin of the word "bone" for dice. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used dice for both gaming and divination. Standard polyhedral dice (d4, d8, d12, d20) became popular in the 20th century with the rise of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. Today, dice come in countless shapes, sizes, and materials—and digital dice have made custom creations more accessible than ever.
The Custom Dice tool supports five dice types, each with unique applications:
| Dice Type | Description | Best For | Example Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Numbers | Traditional numeric dice with any range | Probability, random selection, damage rolls | d6 with values 1-6; d20 for initiative; custom numeric ranges |
| Letters | Each face has a letter (A, B, C, etc.) | Word games, spelling, random character generation | Scrabble practice; random NPC names; letter-matching games |
| Words | Each face has a word or phrase | RPG prompts, story generation, random events | Random encounter tables; treasure types; NPC motivations |
| Colors | Faces represented by colors | Color-based decisions, visual randomization | Board game movement; color matching; artistic prompts |
| Mixed | Combination of types on one dice | Complex randomization, multi-purpose dice | Weather dice: "Sunny", "Rain", "Wind", etc. |
Custom dice are invaluable for Dungeon Masters and players alike. Here are powerful ways to integrate them:
Create dice with encounter types: "Combat", "Social", "Treasure", "Trap", "Mystery", "Empty". Roll when players explore a new area to keep them on their toes.
Design a dice with treasure tiers: "Common", "Uncommon", "Rare", "Very Rare", "Legendary", "Artifact". Perfect for random loot generation.
Word dice with traits: "Friendly", "Hostile", "Suspicious", "Helpful", "Deceptive", "Eccentric". Roll to bring NPCs to life spontaneously.
Weather dice: "Clear", "Rain", "Storm", "Fog", "Snow", "Wind". Add environmental variety to your campaign.
Create custom wild magic dice with outcomes like "Fireball", "Heal", "Invisibility", "Polymorph", "Summon", "Explosion".
Design dice for fighter maneuvers: "Cleave", "Disarm", "Shove", "Parry", "Riposte", "Charge". Add tactical depth to combat.
"The best games are those where the unexpected happens. Custom dice let you build randomness that fits your world perfectly—making every session unique."
— Game Master's wisdom
When creating custom dice, consider these design principles:
The Custom Dice tool is designed for both quick use and deep customization:
Custom dice aren't just for games! Consider these creative applications:
The tool saves your custom dice locally, so they're available whenever you return. Organize your collection by purpose:
In the digital tool, there's no limit—add as many faces as your game needs. In physical dice, custom dice typically have 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20 faces, but you can have any number of faces with irregular shapes or digital dice.
Absolutely! Custom dice are perfect for random tables. Create a dice with 12 encounter options and roll whenever players explore a new area. Combine multiple dice for more complex tables (e.g., one dice for creature type, another for behavior).
Numbers dice are purely numeric—they behave like standard dice. Mixed dice can combine numbers, letters, words, and colors on different faces. For example, a mixed dice might have "Fire", "Ice", "3", "A", and color faces.
After designing your dice with the desired faces, click "Save Dice". The dice is added to your saved library and persists across sessions. You can roll saved dice immediately.
Yes! Select multiple dice from your saved library (click on each dice you want to use), then click "Roll Dice". The tool rolls all selected dice simultaneously and displays each result.
Custom dice open up endless possibilities for gaming, creativity, and decision-making. Whether you're a Dungeon Master looking to add unpredictability to your campaign, a game designer prototyping new mechanics, or just someone who loves rolling dice, the Custom Dice tool gives you the power to create exactly what you need. Start designing today—your perfect dice await.
