The DOTS Braille Lightning Dice!
A specialized 4 set that can roll any number in a standard 7 set of polyhedral braille dice. This compact design is easier to print and is more cost effective while still able to be utilized as a full standard set.
Our dice are intentionally designed with braille only and no written numbers. There are hundreds of thousands of styles available for sighted individuals, but less than 10 different styles of braille dice ever created. If a sighted individual wants to use these dice, they can reach out to the visually impaired player and ask to learn braille. It helps promote mutual understanding and respect between players and ensures the visually impaired player is able to use the dice on their own. When there’s that high stakes roll they need, it’s important a sighted player at the table not be able to quickly read the result and steal the excitement before the visually impaired player gets to read it themselves.

D4
The first die in the set is called The Lightning Die. This is a rectangular die with rounded ends and four die faces. Two of the faces are blank, the remaining two have tactile lightning bolts.
Size: mm: 15 x / 15 y / 37.98 z – In: .59 x / .59 y / 1.50 z
The other three dice are multi-purpose dice:
D6
The six-sided die also serves as a twelve-sided die when rolled with The Lightning Die. The number six on the die has been replaced with a tactile lightning bolt making it easy to denote the high number on the dice. When rolled by itself, the die generates the normal 1-6 values. Now, if you need to roll a d12, simply roll The Lightning Die with the d6. If The Lightning Die lands on a blank side, the d6 has a value of 1-6. If The Lightning Die lands on a lightning bolt, the d6 result gets added to “6” to create a value of 7-12.
Size: mm: 19 x / 19 y / 19 z – In: .75 x / .75 y / .75 z
D8
The eight-sided die has the numbers 1-3 and a lightning bolt on both halves of the die. So when rolled by itself, it always roll a value of 1-4, the lightning bolt representing the number 4. If you need to roll a d8, simply roll The Lightning Die with the eight-sided die. If The Lightning Die lands on a blank side, the roll has a value of 1-4. If The Lightning Die lands on a lightning bolt, the roll result gets added to “4” to create a value of 5-8.
Size: mm: 23.56 x / 23.78 y / 23.56 z – In: .93 x / 1.29 y / .93 z
D10
The ten-sided die is a normal braille d10 with a lightning bolt representing the number 10. If you need to roll a d20, simply roll The Lightning Die with the ten-sided die. If The Lightning Die lands on a blank side, the roll has a value of 1-10. If The Lightning Die lands on a lightning bolt, the roll result gets added to “10” to create a value of 11-20. Of course, roll it twice for a percentile roll.
Size: mm: 28.92 x / 29.68 y / 28.12 z – In: 1.14 x / 1.17 y / 1.11 z
