Rolling traditional dice during a tabletop RPG sort of breaks the spell. It takes you out of the imaginative world and reminds you that you are, in fact, playing a game. But what if your dice played along with your story? The FlipDie does.

A die that you flip like a coin, this accessory is always balanced and fair. Its robust metal design and coin shape immerse you in your game. It’s just what your character would use when playing for chance.
