      This gave me an idea for a gimmick die. Transparent die filled with dark liquid. The exterior of the die has the usual numbers in white lettering. Inside the die, there is a smaller cork die that rises like a magic 8ball. It’s 2d(x) in 1. Interesting for tension building, if nothing else.

      Edit: looked it up and I’m not original, and they’re largely as bad as I thought they’d be

        I’m really surprised that this does not seem to be an existing thing for d10s specifically. I can find nested d10s and there are heaps of liquid core dice, but apparently none that combine those two ideas

        One of my overdue projects is to disassemble a magic 8 ball, remove the dice from it and make a digital magic 8 ball. I plan to bequeath the removed “dice” to a DM I know.

          Make sure to wear long gloves and short sleeves. The dye in that water is strong. I was purple for days after cracking an 8ball and people kept asking how I got hurt.
