When I want to roll dice openly but don't want the players to know what I rolled.

They're just bog standard six-siders, honest!

  • Front left: 4 on top, 6 and 2 facing.
  • Rear left: 1 on top, 2 and 3 facing.
  • Front centre: 3 on top, 6 and 5 facing.
  • Rear right: 2 on top, 6 and 3 facing.
  • Front right: 5 on top, 6 and 4 facing.

Dang, need to find me a deck like that, travel sets keep getting me stopped in the airport

Here's one source. I cannot vouch for or against it; I buy inside China, not outside.

They could count the number of lines still ;)

Only works from 1-3. 4 has 5 strokes (6 lines), for example.

You only count the four central strokes for four when its written that way, how those kanji came about or how theyre taught to children, is that the stroke number is equal to the numbers value up until you reach ten.

That doesn't work at all though? 五, 六 have 4 strokes, and 七, 八, 九, 十 have 2 strokes.
