Is there a theoretical maximum number of sides a single die can have? If so, what is it?
The question is fairly self-explanatory. I read the Nerdist article "This d120 is the Largest Mathematically Fair Die Possible" about the die shown below, but it didn't really answer my question, and it seems to just talk about a physical limit (which I'm sure exists - is there an answer to this too?).
Any thoughts/comments?

$\begingroup$The number of sides of dices surely is unbounded. Just take any regular $n$-gon and errect a symmetrical dipyramid on that polygon, then serving for its equatorial pseudo facet. That dice then obviously will have $2n$ faces.
