      The ultimate dream is to have enough dice to swim in them like Scrooge McDuck.

        As someone who’s had a sharp edge D4 draw blood this does not sound like fun.

      …there have been few rolls more satisfying than covering for a friend’s divination wizard and scrounging-together enough d4s to cast vitriolic sphere with a single fistful tossed into the dice tower at once…

    My wife: ‘You really have a dice problem’

    Me: ‘I’m so glad you see it too’

    My wife: ‘I mean… It’s really hard to miss!!’

    Me: ‘Exactly! I don’t have any icy blue translucent dice yet but I’m playing a frost mage!’

    My wife: ‘that’s not at all what I meant.’

    Me: ‘hey if I order all translucent dice in a set I save shipping.’

    My wife: ‘I’m leaving you.’

    Me: ‘But not the campaign are you? Cus I ordered some bear themed dice for your bear barbarian.’

    My wife: ‘Awwww.’

    Now we both have a dice problem.

    I used to think I was low maintenance with dice, until I needed to buy emergency dice to run a game. The store didn’t have the regular Chessex ones, but I’m not a brand loyalist, so I grabbed whatever.

    The numbers weren’t laid out properly. You know how opposite sides (apart from the d4, obviously) sum up to one more than the die size? I.e., opposite sides on a d6 add up to 7, and opposite sides of a d20 will add up to 21. They didn’t do that. Bugged the hell out of me, and I still consider them cursed.

    So yeah. Even though I’m not as particular about my dice as most players, but there are some dice I find unsettling and will not play with. :P

          The purple Lamy ink is gorgeous.
          For some reason, I can’t find my fountain pen (yes, one), so that’s probably good enough reason to buy another.

    I remember the first time I was invited to play D&D. I bought dice, and it was just as much to buy a half dozen sets as it was to buy one set. So I bought the extras, and asked if anyone else needed some my first session. And everyone else pulls out boxes of various shapes full of dice and says “Nah, we’re good”.

    Apparently a half dozen sets of dice is a starter pack.
