Long dice (sometimes oblong or stick dice) are dice, often roughly right prisms or (in the case of barrel dice) antiprisms, designed to land on any of several marked lateral faces, but neither end. Landing on end may be rendered very rare simply by their small size relative to the faces, by the instability implicit in the height of the dice, and by rolling the long dice along their axes rather than tossing. Many long dice provide further insurance against landing on end by giving the ends a rounded or peaked shape, rendering such an outcome physically impossible (at least on a flat solid surface). Design advantages of long dice include being relatively easy to create fair dice with an odd number of faces, and (for four-faced dice) being easier to roll than tetrahedral d4 dice (as found in many role-playing games).

How do I make a round dice set?
Today I will make some unusual dice. They will not be square but round and we will make them completely out of metal, with a wooden stand. Enjoy! #dice#W&M#lathe

These dice, which come as a d3/d12 pair, are a funkier alternative to Sicherman dice: they give the same result as adding two ordinary six-sided dice. The d3, which has the standard numbering for a d3, is also available by itself. http://thedicelab.com/Recast2d6d3.html
