Dice: How often do you buy them?

[Valesin]

I buy new dice every time i go to a con.

Me too. Well, sort of; I treat myself to new dice every GenCon Indy. And sometimes SoCal if I really can't control myself.

I purchase a full set of dice once or twice a year. I also buy loose dice whenever I have some pocket change and am actually in a store that sells dice, which is not all that often. I recently acquired three D6's that have roman numerals instead of numbers or pips to complememnt the one that I bought in California two and a half years ago.

usually about every 3-7 weeks, but then i am forever losing them.. and they come in so many different colours..

I didn't vote because my answer wasn't there.

My answer is "Whenever the mood strikes me."

I've gone long periods of time- years even- without buying any, but this July, I've bought dice every week.

What the hell kind of joke option is "never"?!?

 

[Nifft]

On no regular schedule. As in, whenever I'm near nice dice, which is not very often.

Occasionally. It's probably more than once a year, but not monthly. I also get new dice with certain other products.

I chose "every year," but in truth it is a bit more complicated than that. It has been a year or two (or perhaps even three) since I last purchased any, but there was a span of a few months about five-six years ago when I purchased a set every few weeks. It was a phase I was going through, I think. So on average it is probably about once a year, as it has been a couple years or so since I last purchased any.

I'm somewhere between every year and every decade. Usually every few years i get a new set or two.

One of my players from the high school game I DMed gave everyone a set of dice for christmas, and I still use those. They are awesome. But that was over ten years ago.

I purchased a set of dice to match them (ivory to match the onyx set I was given) about six years ago.

I've been thinking this past month that I really need to just go out and pick a new set of dice to use, lest I wear out my current beloved set. I just can't stand the feel of new dice compared to my worn in set, but of course i don't use the new ones enough to wear them in sufficiently....

it's a tragic, vicious cycle.
