Many games on this wiki make use of dice, both standard polyhedral dice and custom dice produced by Looney Labs specifically for certain pyramid games.
== Looney Labs Dice ==
As of 2024, five custom dice have been produced by Looney Labs for the Looney Pyramid line. They are the [[Equipment/Treehouse die|Treehouse die]], the [[Equipment/Pyramid die|Pyramid die]], the [[Equipment/Lightning die|Lightning die]], and both the icon and dot versions of the [[Equipment/Color die|Color die]].

The term "[[Equipment/Ice Dice|Ice Dice]]" is sometimes used to refer to the Color die and the Pyramid die gathered together as a pair, as occurs in the board game of the same name: [[Ice Dice]].
<br>
You can display any face of any Looney Labs die on your game page by using the dedicated Pyramid Love font on this wiki. Examples are shown below. Learn more on the [[How to Use Pyramid Love Font]] page.
== Pyramids as Dice ==
Line 17 ⟶ 101:
Additionally, one could mark a pyramid's four faces with unique symbols or numbers, turning the piece into a reasonably fair d4 (barring weight influence due to manufacturing defects) with the added behavior of an unlikely fifth result... upright. This d4/d5 might be useful for determining critical hits or other exceptional events in an otherwise simple die-roll.
== Polyhedral Dice ==
Common [[Polyhedral dice]] are frequently abbreviated "d##" where "D" simply designates a die, and ## refers to the number of faces on that die. A "D10" is a ten-sided die. Commonly used dice for games on this wiki include the d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20.
<br>
The game [[Trice]], for example, uses the tetrahedral d4.
<br>
You can display colorful dice, any face of any die from D4 up to D20, in your game page rules/diagrams by using the dedicated font installed on this Wiki.
