Good deal for the books though!Honestly, while I've picked up some great books this year, I just haven't been able to put them to any use aside from reading.My best RPG buy of 2010 was a set of polyhedral dice.Now, this isn't to say I didn't have any. I'm pretty much the only person in my group that brings dice to the games. I bring the dice to our games.I've a hard plastic tacklebox that I keep an ample pile of them in, and I bring it for the group to share every time.They're used so communally, they don't really feel like they're mine anymore.What I didn't have, were dice for me. Dice just for me.I must have been feeling particularly selfish this one day though, because while I was browsing one of the game shops downtown I saw a set of <a href="http://crystalcaste.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CC&Product_Code=07002&Category_Code=CD" target="_blank">translucent green plastic dice that were a mix of platonic solids and crystal-shaped ones, from Crystal-Caste</a>. Part of the appeal was the novelty of finally having a D3. I... couldn't resist.Initially I'd thought they would make a nice gift for someone else in the group, but... again, I must have been feeling selfish. They were so perfect for the necromancer I was playing at the time...Anyhow, there's something special about having your own dice...</blockquote>
