There is a (small) part of me that is a tiny bit worried that sharing pictures of my dice could curse them to roll 1's forever (good for GURPS! sucks for most other games)

My lamping dice already ALWAYS ROLL 1's so that wouldn't be a problem for me.

What would be a problem is that I probably won't be able to get my original d20 to stop rolling and that I'd then have to confess that I entrusted my original d12 to a canal long ago because it had never, ever, EVER, rolled higher than a 3.

Playing Nosferatu are we...?

These are the ones I use the most, and the guardian that they stay well kept in.

Even of these, I really only ever make use of the 2d6 and 2d20s on the left side.

I like having a blend of roll over and roll under, too. Not everything has to be the same.

First of all, love the dice bag!

Second of all, couldn't help but notice you have the animated spell cards. At risk of busting the thread - care to share thoughts on those? Or maybe start a new thread?

No it’s for my own system

Professional quality backgammon dice. The pip material is chosen to be the same density as the body of the dice; the corners are rounded so the dice don't have to carom off a vertical to be truly random. Yes, it bothers me that the stamped serial number introduces an asymmetry.

(I only play one game, and it only uses six sided dice.)

Did you do the "salt water" test to see if they were "good"?

There's a Heinlein work - I'm not sure which one; it might be The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - where one character offers to float the dice another character is using.

Wow! Hollies response was “I could be a professional backgammon player!”

The bag is from Wayward Masquerade's first Dragons Bagons kickstarter. It took about 4 years to arrive, but I love it.

As for the cards, they're helpful for teaching new spellcasters, but I don't use them often since most of my gaming is digital (and only a fraction of that is 5e). It's definitely a luxury item.

When I ordered the Animated Deck of Many Things ago, Hit Point Press accidentally sent me way more than I paid for (including a second Deck of Many Things). I reached out to them and they told me to keep it. I'm happy to have them, but I definitely would not have paid the hundreds of dollars it would've cost me in the first place.

They are gorgeous, though. You can't really capture the holographic artwork with a picture or video, you have to see it for yourself.

I made sure to get some ectoplasm-colored d6s for playing d6 Ghostbusters / Spooktacular.
