I want to try my hand at the doubly dice style but don"t really know how to set up for it. If anyone has a video or in depth explanation on how to set it up i would appreciate it greatly.

You “can” do it that way by doubling up on regular dice but for weight/balance purposes I’d HIGHLY recommend going to a gaming store and getting gaming dice. People use different setups but I like a 20 sided die for the cw actually tied to the string and a smaller 6 sided die for the sliding cw. I’m no expert by any means but you might benefit from trying the gaming dice. Some gaming stores even have a small scale behind the counter(funny I know) where you can weigh the 2 gaming dice together to try to match the weight of a duncan die.

Yea, using two Duncan dice will be very heavy (but maybe that’ll suit you).

Most DDers use lighter dice (as described in the post above) and drill a hole through them.
