this is going to be a very risky surgery, the dice may not survive
>>
>>25847176
Go to a hobby store or stationery place, buy a sharp scalpel or exacto knife and gently scrape away the sprue (it's where the die was clipped of the injection moulded plastic frame, your regular dice lose this when they're thrown in the rock tumblers). I'm no expert, but the few times I've done this, I've kept the blade perpendicular to the surface and scraped it along the mould flash/imperfection.
I take it these are Game Science dice, because this is a common issue and I'm sure you could have found instructions for doing this along with how to ink the die on relevant websites.

Gamescience dice, and similar makers, keep the bump from where they're clipped off the sprue instead of putting them through a rock polisher like other makers.

I didn't think /tg/ was this stupid.
>>
>>25849069
So all their die are defective?
>>
Best thread on /tg/!
>>
>>25849092
No, so their dice roll more accurately instead of being loaded one way or the other.
>>
This is why we can sometimes have nice things.
>>
>>25849620
The bump still needs to be removed to make the die perfect, though.
>>
>>25849767
It's reduced to the correct level actually, there just remains a visible irregularity on the surface of the die.
>>
This is the funniest thing I've seen on /tg/ in months.

So instead of being professional dicemakers and finishing their own products, they're actually selling their dice unfinished? I mean yeah, we in /tg/ buy miniature figures which are in many bits and glue them together and paint them so this kinda thing kinda comes naturally to us, but dice? Really? I don't want to assemble my dice, I want to fondle and watch them gleam in the sunlight with perfection that is transparent die.
>>
>>25849913
Is that an eraser d6?
>>
>>25849971
If you're referring to the red big d6 with silver numbers, I made that one from wood. The numbers can be seen much more clearly normally, I don't know what's up with that image hiding them numbers.
>>

>>25849913

>>25849913
The bump on the die is a symbol of quality. When dice are put through rock tumblers, like most are, the become uneven. If a die still has a bump, that means it was not tumbled and is still perfectly even.
>>
>>25849913
>unfinished
Rock tumblers may make dice prettier, but they also make them uneven. There's a reason dice used in actual gambling don't have rounded edges, you know. You can prefer tumbled dice but that doesn't make untumbled ones unfinished.
>>
>>25849767
Actually if I recall, you can leave the bump and still get really spread results. I think it can still favour one number a microscopic bit more (I believe in one set of test results the bumped D20 was favouring 14s more than any other number by a small margin), but it's still better than chessex/other tumbled dice.

Still, I get rid of the bump just because it looks better.
>>
>>25849913
You realize that your "professional dice makers" are actually fucking up their dice by putting them through rock tumblers, right?
>>
>>25850010
>self made
>wood
goddamn anon, that's even more awesome than the cure for the bump.
>>
>>25850069
It's a pretty simple job actually. I've done it as well. Just measure out a bit of scrap to slightly larger than you want, make the cuts, and then sand until perfect.
>>
>>25850065
>But muh statistics
Keep being mad mathfag.

>>25850092
It's more the actually making it than how hard it is.
>>
>>25850108
Right, right, everyone else is mad.

You're butthurt as hell over a bump, but its everyone else that's mad.
