The biggest problem with a 120-sided die is not its size, or its weight, or even its price. The biggest problem with a 120-sided die is no one knows what to do with it, a fact not lost on the people who created it. “We were a little concerned to make this because it’s so expensive and there’s no real use for it,” says Robert Fathauer.
Fathauer is one half of Dice Lab, a small company in Phoenix that explores the wonder of polyhedra in dice form. The D120 is its most ambitious project yet, one that, frankly, makes absolutely zero sense but is awesome just the same.
The D&D nerds out there (a group I am proud to be part of) are undoubtedly trying to figure out a way to use these. If nothing else, at only $12 each, I’d buy a couple just to add to my dice collection.
The biggest problem with a 120 sided die is its roundness.
Do you still game, Shawn? How do you suggest an interested newbie find a group? 🙂
Not any more. And I’d suggest the newbie go to high school or college – that’s where I started. 🙂
That can surely be offset by making it sufficiently large! 🙂
I used to game with a guy who’d have been happy to devise a game that could use these. He’s one of the reasons why I stopped gaming.

I still have my 30 sided die. I don’t know what it’s for, except for starting conversations. The corners are well chipped. Practically a ball.
I have one, which I bought mainly just to add to my collection. For me, it is much too hard to tell which face is up for practical use. And it is easy enough to simulated with a d12 and a d10 if I had a use for it, so that is what I’d do in practice.
