Show me your dice

My dice I bring to in person games. Purple bag NOT a Crown Royal bag, sadly

Question: Does anyone else use specific dice depending on what you're playing?

The two Chessex sets still in their boxes in my pic were bought for specific characters - the green w/ black speckles were for a 4E ranger since they're sort of camo-colored, and the blue/gold were for a battlemaster fighter. When I play a character, I usually assemble a dedicated set of dice for them out of my collection - the selection process being guided almost entirely by intuition, i.e., whichever ones just "feel" right for the character. Sometimes it's based on style, sometimes on color, sometimes it's something less tangible.


Anybody here willing to fess up to using "cheater" dice?

Although I did used to have a pair of loaded D6's, I've never used them in-game. However, I have had a number of dice over the years that were either horribly unbalanced to the point that they had a better than 50/50 chance of coming up on a certain number regardless of how I threw them or were "ski-ball" dice where my skill at rolling them in a certain fashion had a great deal of influence on what numbers they rolled.


A player in an old group of mine had one of the old d20s that did the opposite, 0-9 twice. He grabbed it without noticing and rolled with that for most of the session before realizing why his rolls were all terrible.

I once played in a game where one of the other players was being such an annoying tool during the campaign that the rest of us decided to switch out his regular D20 with one of those (and he was almost literally about to flip the table by the time he finally figured it out).
 



Pink duckies, although they also look like human fetuses, so that's not disturbing

Ah. I was wondering because my FLGS used to have a fairly similar D6, and as near as I could tell, the vague shape inside appeared to either be a kernel of white corn or a human tooth, lol - never did figure it out. :p
Don't think it was a duckie, though.
