I'm not really sure of their origins persay but I do know that they are probably most commonly found in one of the nerdiest games ever to meet humanity that doesn't require the use of a computer and internet. The dice are used in Dungeons and Dragons extensively to determine many different results. For example whether or not an attack hits, whether a trap is found and disabled, or whether you jump a gap. I do know that the dice are based on regular polyhedrons.

DandD is probably what keeps most card and comic shops alive, even still (well, besides Magic the Gathering)
Dn'D is also one of the first origins of RPGs, right?
I know that on a different forum the OP of an RP is called the DM (dungeon master).
