64sided

64sided is a term that can refer to a few different concepts, primarily related to dice and geometry. In the context of tabletop role-playing games and other recreational activities, a 64-sided die, often abbreviated as a d64, is a type of polyhedral die. Unlike more common dice such as the 6-sided die (d6) or the 20-sided die (d20), a d64 is a less frequently encountered gaming implement. Its manufacturing is more complex, and it is not typically found in standard dice sets. When used, it would serve to generate a random number between 1 and 64, inclusive. The geometric shape that would possess 64 faces is a hexacontahedron. Specifically, a tetrakis hexahedron is a Catalan solid that can be modified to create a 64-sided die. Such dice are generally produced for niche markets or by specialized dice makers. The rarity of the d64 means its use in games is uncommon, with GMs and players opting for more readily available dice for their random number generation needs. The concept of "64-sided" inherently implies a high degree of granularity in possible outcomes or a complex geometric form.
