https://www.diceemporium.com/product/12-sided-1-4-spotted-28mm/ Something like this? https://www.thediceshoponline.com/dodecadice-triple-d4-layer-rainbow-12-sided-spot-d4-dice Or this? https://eu.nobleknight.com/P/2147622485/20mm-d4-12-Sided-Metal-Dice-w-Black Or this if you want it in metal with numbers?

https://doublesixdice.com/collections/triplefours These are the ones I started with. I wish they had focused more on the d4 line than the d6 line but that'd be like asking Wizards of the Coast to make good martials https://www.diceemporium.com/product/roman-d12-12-sided/ Chessex ones available in a few variations with roman numerals https://www.thediceshoponline.com/specialist-dice/d12-specialist-dice.html?dice_sides=100&product_list_limit=100 pipped 12 sided d4s, a bit more expensive https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147622485/20mm-d4-12-Sided-Metal-Dice-w-Black And if you really have money to burn, these are the only metal ones I could reliably find. It's a chonky boy, bigger than a d12 you'll normally get, basically the size of a d20, maybe even a bit bigger. There was a game a few years ago called Nibiru that apparently has a decently priced set of 6 metal 12-sided d4s with cuneiform symbols, but it doesn't seem like anyone in the US has the dice in stock (I found one website but I'm pretty sure it was gonna scam me). [This appears to be the publisher's website from the UK](https://www.araukana.com/store/nibiru-cuneiform-dice), though it has had that message about restocking their warehouse since at least this past July so idk, but they say the dice are in stock. Searching on Google were also some Spanish and German sites that maybe had them in stock, but I have no idea if those sites are reputable.

AFAIK Zocchi's d4 do not have numbering on the truncated part of the pyramid. I got mine from [Math Art Fun/The Dice Lab](https://mathartfun.com/thedicelab.com/index.html). I also got their Orbiform d4, which rolls nicely and looks and feels great.

Who needs glances when you have organization? There's also versions that use pips or roman numerals or other symbols to make them visually distinct. You could also get them in a different color. Inferior shapes should never be accepted for convenience.

If you are going the pip route, could you - and please hear me out on this one! - _combine_ both sets of values on the same die but without all the math of dividing by 2 or 3?There's [these d8s](https://warehouse23.com/products/the-fantasy-trip-d8-slash-d4-resin-die) that use numerals for 1-8 and pips for 1-4 repeated twice. With three different sets of symbols (say by adding roman numerals) you could have a d12 that also functions as a d6 and a d4, though I can't say I've seen one. Trying to put 3 sets of symbols on each die face may create readability issues though. I think there's other dice out there that function as more than one die but I can't find them atm. There's also ones that are basically just a fidget spinner with various segments or sets of fidget spinners for each die, but you don't actually roll those so I'm not counting them.

I may be the only one here who doesn't care. Long as it's understandable, it's good enough.
