A Life Full of Adventure

I probably think you roll dice too often.

I hope you had a very nerdy/geeky Christmas!

Favorite set of dice/individual dice I don't ever remember having a favorite set of dice. I do remember my first green 20 sided die (probably a mud die from a box set). It wore more and more as the years went by. I remember finally buying a bunch of matching, translucent, blue 8 siders for casting my clerical healing spells. I have a d20 now called the Garry Kasperov because a friend gave some dice out as prizes and made up a back-story for each die. I carry this die around in my pocket at almost all times.

My friend Chris throws a house-con every year for his birthday. Every year has a theme, and every year he has specialty dice made to give out. Every year these dice end up as my lowest rollers in my collection. Every year. The other day I grabbed them to start making a new character. My first roll of 3d6 = 4. That's it. Out of three dice. I immediately threw them back in the bag and hauled out my Artisan Dice . My first roll was a 16. I finished the character using the Artisan Dice: 16, 12, 15, 12, 15, 11.

I will be adding dice to my Christmas list for the first time ever. I own a good deal of dice already, and I never hesitate to buy dice when I want them, but how much better would it be to unwrap them on Christmas Morning? With a "Hoody hoo," and then roll them across the floor. Plus, these are some special dice, some different dice. I'm looking at Crystal Castle's Synthetic Opal 12mm Dwaven Stones. Also, thanks to Kenzerco, I can request d10,000! How many of your friends have these? I'm thinking of getting orange, kind of a fiery color. I might want purple, though...more noble or wizardly.

I have two dice bags. One is my old one from days of roleplaying yore. It's stuffed to just about bursting with 10 siders (gotta love WarHammer!), 8 siders (2nd edition cleric, anyone?), and 6 siders (fireball!). Relatively recently I purchased a newer, bigger dice bag to hold another purchase: a Pound-O-Dice (C). My old dice bag is...old, and worn, and full. Just this morning I came up with the thought of merging the two into the larger bag. Has anybody heard about any kind of p residence for this? Is this dice taboo? What would Bob Herzog say? Please, I need your expert opinion on the subject.
