The most OCD question ever

[magicpokey]

This may be the most nit-picky-est OCD complaint I've ever indulged. On the Feed Dump set there is a big yellow D20 behind the center chair. It has a nonstandard numbering system. I mean, it probably fits the standard rules for a randomized D20 (each pair of opposite sides adds up to one more than the total number of faces on the die, 19 is opposite 2 adding up to 21 on a D20 for example) but it deviates from the universal placement of numbers on a standardized D20 (such as those used in D&D). It's also not a 'spindown' variant (commonly used in MtG and other games as a life counter). This is driving my OCD NUTS!


This is the offending polyhedral!

If someone could tell me what kind of die this is, and who makes it, I could look it up, get a map for it in my head and finally put this icosahedral nightmare to bed!

Help me, fellow Runners! You're my only hope!

One option to map it would be to watch some TTC videos - they use it (and another, similar, green one) to roll for the crack a pack. You should be able to get a few more angles on it.

Clearly its a shapeshifting alien and you spotted its almost but not quite perfect disguise.

Not to get on your case, but OCD is a pretty serious thing that shouldn't be flung around like it's a casual descriptor. You could go with "a very particular question" or something instead.

I was going to make a silly joke saying that LRR have two of those die but not now.

Fayili, you did get on his case by posting that.
If it is still available look at LRR's old video: Offensisensitivity and you'll see why I say that.
I don't think anyone on this site is going to get upset if he uses that acronym.

Thank you, Elomin Sha, but Fayili has a point. OCD should probably not be used in a casual manner.

While it is true that I used the acronym for comedic effect, I do in fact suffer from a mild case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Not anywhere nearly as bad as other people can, but little things (like the nonstandard d20) tend to really get under my skin until I can figure them out. I apologize if I offended anyone.

That being said, I'm going to re-watch a bunch of old videos to see if I can map out the die. though if anyone has already done this and wants to save me some time I would be grateful!

[Elomin Sha]

Don't apologise unless anyone IS offended.

Ah, sorry then! Yeah, I've known some people with stronger OCD that causes them severe distress in areas of their life and they really don't like it being thrown around as a neatness or organised thing, because it's 1) not, and 2) that downplays what they go through.

But yeah, if you've got it, by all means use the initialism how you want

On a side note, I am constantly amazed how awesome a community this is. On almost any other forum, this small sidetrack into the proper use of 'OCD' would have become a major flame war. But here, it is a short and reasonable discussion that is over quickly and nobody's feelings got hurt. I have said it before and I will say it again: I love each and every one of you, both individually and as a group!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THE COOTIE BEES!

My friend has a large foam d20 so I can check out how it is. However I am sick so it won't be for a few days.

[magicpokey]

BlueChloroplast oh Noes! We hope you get better!

Looks like the one from PAX Aus. Do these help?
