Cubes have 6 sides, you have shown 5, what's on the 6th?  Is it a repeat of one of the other sides?

@John If they're all the same, based on a few different angles visible in the big pile, I think there are two sides with an S opposite each other.

@tuskiomi LCR dice have 3 identical sides, and then each of the 3 letters on the other sides.

FWIW the "Glyph" looks to me like a [dart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darts). Building from there, maybe D/T could stand for Double/Triple (rings on a dart board)...

I half expected a "dart dice" image search to find something like this, but it didn't :(

@BenjaminCosman I agree.  S = Single, D = Double, T = Triple, and the Dart = a Dart.  This probably has something to do with darts.  Not sure what the M is for.

Maybe M is for miss?

Probably just imperfections in the printing; but the glyphs don't all look the same. In the bottom picture of the individual die, it looks like an electric cord.

Anyone know what game uses these six-sided dice with letters and a dart-like glyph on them?
