The standard numbering layout of dice is not even close to being balanced. The goal of balancing a numbering layout is to avoid concentrations of high or low numbers.

No die can be completely perfect, so a die with a balanced layout will be more fair since a bias of the die will have a lesser impact on the mean roll compared to non-balanced dice.

It took hundreds of hours writing and running programs for me to balance these layouts. My dice sets are the first to feature mathematically balanced layouts on all dice (not just the d20). Also, my d20 layout is the first ever made with optimally balanced halves! I go into much more detail on the Kickstarter page but it's a bit long to fit here!

It is impossible to know conclusively if these are the most fair RPG dice without testing all the dice in the world. However, I did test them against a variety of high quality machined metal dice. 11,500 rolls showed Honest Dice outperformed them all.

7075-T651 Aluminum

The vast majority of milled aluminum dice you can find are made from 6061 or 6063 aluminum. These 6000 series alloys are softer and more prone to denting than the superior 7075 alloy I chose for these dice. Brinell hardness essentially measures how much force is required to dent the metal. 7075-T651 aluminum has a Brinell hardness of 150, far superior to that of 6061 (hardness of 95) or 6063 (hardness of 73). Of course 7075 is more expensive but I think it is worth it to use the best possible material for dice that will last for lifetimes. The aluminum dice are anodized in blue, gold, pink, green, purple, red, or black. 

Ti-6Al-4V Titanium

For truly epic metal dice, solid titanium is hard to beat. Ti-6Al-4V titanium is incredibly strong and durable. It boasts a Brinell hardness of 334! People think of titanium as a very light metal because of its stunning strength to weight ratio. Many are surprised to learn that it is over 50% denser than aluminum, so if you like heavier dice titanium might be the choice for you. However, all these impressive characteristics come at a price and titanium is a very expensive material. The titanium dice are in their natural metal color.

I was never quite satisfied with the d4. It hurts my nerdy soul to criticize a Platonic solid, but the tetrahedron doesn't roll very well and the tapered shape makes it difficult to pick up. Drop it on the floor and you've got a terrifying caltrop that deals piercing damage unless you pass a DC 15 dexterity saving throw.

After many iterations I came up with a d4 design I call the Hex d4, which I absolutely love. It is beautiful and it rolls well. In my fairness testing it outperformed both the tetrahedral and shard style dice I tested. I've made thousands of Hex d4s in sharp-edge resin for players who give them rave reviews and I'm excited to offer them for the first time in precision machined Aluminum and Titanium!

I like my dice a bit bigger. All of the dice are roughly 50% larger than the standard dice and the massive 31mm d20 is over 3.75x the size of a standard d20!
