An open press release from Baron of Dice on what players get wrong and what actually works
As tabletop gaming continues to grow, so does misinformation. Players swap advice quickly, but not all of it holds up under real play. Baron of Dice is sharing its perspective on five common myths that continue to mislead players across the U.S., the UK, and Europe.

These myths affect fairness, cost, and enjoyment more than most people realize.

"We talk to players every day," Baron of Dice shared. "The same misunderstandings keep coming up, and they usually cost people time, money, or confidence at the table."

Below are the five most common myths, why people believe them, and what players can do right now instead.

Myth 1: "All dice are basically the same."

Why do people believe itDice look simple. Many players assume that if two dice have the same numbers, they behave the same way.

The realityManufacturing matters. Acrylic dice are mass-produced and more prone to internal bubbles and weight imbalance. Testing shows that the balance becomes noticeable over hundreds of rolls, which most regular players reach quickly.

"All dice have some imperfection," Baron of Dice explains, "but how they're made determines how fair they are over time."

What you can do todayRoll-test one die 100 times and track the results. Large deviations are a red flag.

Myth 2: "Cheaper dice save money."

Why do people believe itLower price feels safer upfront. Accessories seem replaceable.

The realityLow-cost accessories have return and replacement rates up to three times higher than premium alternatives, according to e-commerce data. Players often end up buying multiple sets to replace what fails.

"People think they're saving money," Baron of Dice says, "but they usually buy twice."

What you can do todayCalculate how often you've replaced dice in the last year. That's your real cost.

Myth 3: "Balanced dice will make you roll better".

Why do people believe it Players hope better tools lead to better outcomes.

The realityBalanced dice don't improve luck. They reduce bias. Probability analysis shows that fair dice bring results closer to average across long sessions.

"Only luck or cheating guarantees better rolls," Baron of Dice notes. "Balance just removes doubt."

What you can do todayUse balanced dice to eliminate second-guessing, not to chase wins.

Myth 4: "Looks matter more than function.

Why do people believe it Dice are visual. Color and design are part of the fun.

The realityOver 70% of tabletop purchases are influenced by reviews and peer feedback, not appearance alone. Players who prioritize looks over function report more frustration over time.

"Immersion breaks when you don't trust your tools," Baron of Dice says.

What you can do todayAsk yourself if you trust your dice mid-game. If not, aesthetics aren't helping.

Myth 5: "Dice size and shape don't matter."

Why do people believe itStandard sizes feel interchangeable.

The realitySize and corner style affect readability, roll behavior, and table space. Surveys show more than 40% of competitive players intentionally choose non-standard sizes to fit their play environment.

"One size doesn't fit everyone," Baron of Dice explains. "Options exist for a reason."

What you can do todayMatch dice size and corner style to your table and pace of play.

If You Only Remember One Thing...

Tabletop tools seem small, but they shape fairness and confidence. When players trust their equipment, the game feels better, and arguments disappear.

"Good games come from trust," Baron of Dice said. "Not just between players, but in the tools you use."
