[QUOTE="ColinChapman, post: 9595860, member: 6779742"] 1) Rolls must be on the table to count. Dice trays eliminate this issue (and protect the table). 2) Cats are untrustworthy players; choose better sorts to game with. Such as retrievers. And folks who like dice trays. 3) Train your golden to retrieve (it's in the name!), not eat the dice; a win for the doggo and the weirdos who don't use trays. Whether for litter or rolling. 4) Only weirdos don't use dice trays (they are probably cats in disguise; see point 2). 5) Only weirdos use digital dice when real ones are available (also see point 4's point about point 2 again). 6) Legible dice are a must, and don't forget to consider the needs of your colour-blind players (cats and dogs alike; equal opportunity play, folks). 7) If your dice begin to metal or rock, the only answer is to give the horns (not from your bovine player; that's just rude). 8) Give the precision dice a good ol' roll in a dice cup first (not the cat's milk cup though; be considerate). 9) Dice towers are a sign of player boredom, balancing them one on the other like that. What? 10) Roll in the open. The only reason to roll behind a screen is if you're ashamed of your ugly, ugly dice. Get some taste, GM-dude! 11) Rolling against a screen sounds like cheating. It's not like it can roll back. Also, use a dice tray, weirdo. 12) Punish dice by giving them to the (untrained) retriever. 13) Using another player's dice without first licking and claiming them is a dick move. [/QUOTE]
