- I don't know about the terminology, but a lot of Warhammer (Games Workshop) dice have a special design on the 6th face. This is not the same as a blank, but it could serve your goal of emphasizing the 6s (Warhammer also likes to emphasize the 6, which is why the dice are made this way).
- For example:
- * https://promabo.myshopify.com/products/kharadron-overlords-dice-set-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-games-workshop
- * https://www.gamenerdz.com/warhammer-40k-arks-of-omen-sanguinary-guard-dice-set
- * https://www.miniaturemarket.com/warhammer-40k-chaos-knights-dice-15-gw-43-32-2023.html
But, GW being the greedy company it is, these are around 1-2 USD per die. Meanwhile, it seems like you can order a large lot of entirely custom dice (and just give them a blank image for the 6 face) for less than 1 USD/die (vs. 5-6 USD/die for small orders): https://baronofdice.com/products/custom-dice So if you are planning to order "hundreds", and it's for your own original game, the custom dice are probably more cost effective than Warhammer dice.- -----------------------
- PS1: I don't know anything about the merchants in this post, I just found them on Google as examples.
- PS2: This seems like an XY problem to me - what you really want is not terminology but to get a large number of semi-custom dice on the cheap. The obvious missing piece is how much you would be willing to pay, at most. Also, how many you want, but since you say "hundreds" I suppose we can assume 200 would satisfy you.
