In regards to https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/113959/can-an-oven-and-melting-be-used-to-further-alter-an-existing-dies-biases-or-bal:

Dice are a medium used in pretty much every tabletop role-playing game, which means that things that involve dice at least have some analogous connection to tabletop games, on a fundamental level. Being able to change the primary medium of agency between players and the rules by which they gauge their success could have serious ramifications as to the success or failure of a role playing game in general.

Thus, As one of the two actors in a role-playing game, the first being the player through their character, the second being the dice which determine whether the actions of the player succeed or fail; Loaded dice have a direct implication on the standards of play and the success of a role-playing game in the long term.

The question itself was closed because it was perceived as off-topic, but the help center directly states that "Tools and equipment used while playing table-top RPGs (including running them online)" and "Matters which are specific to table-top pen and paper RPGs" with specific, identifiable answers are on-topic questions.

Similar questions such as The Saltwater Float and Does Microwaving a die affect its balance are questions similar to this question but were not closed. Both deal with loaded-dice, cheating, statistics, and methods that could be used to identify cheaters which could have a negative outcome on a non-electronically hosted role-playing game.

In the case of the latter of the above two un-closed questions, the primary answer in question goes into depth and even shows instances of dice melted that could be used to identify cheating.

Since these things all have to do with role playing games, with the direct implication that someone using a pair of dice affected in such a way would be subverting the table and intentionally altering the outcome of rolls to their advantage, we owe it to ourselves to investigate just in case the knowledge becomes useful at some later date.
