Players of tabletop RPGs are lucky that we live in three-dimensional space; in five-or-higher dimensions, there are [only three kinds](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regular_polytopes#Convex_4) of dice, but our world has five ([d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid)).
