Twenty-one-year-old Indrani Ganguly has been playing tabletop role-playing games (TTRPG), a form in which participants describe their characters’ actions as they play, since she was 11 years old. These games are not played with regular dice but with a spectrum of seven different dice known as polyhedral dice. “I have always wanted to collect something that nobody else collected,” says the Mumbai-based marketing graduate, her collection including somewhere between 60 to 80 sets (each set has seven dice) and over 100 D20 dice (the signature two-sided dice used in Dungeons and Dragons).
