[Ferret]

All I have is 5 d6's(only one is mine) and I spin them, it doesn't do much.

I have posted numerous times about the crap the rolls out of my hands in the form of dice. I have tried all these techniques and still my dice fail me, ohh how they fail me. My players are love high level cause my +24 to hit fighter always rolls one or two. I have thrown dice in the ocean for there betrayal, still my dice do not fear me. I have purchased new dice and keep them seperated from the vile crap with numbers and they still betray me.......

argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I roll all my d20's before every session to find out which ones are going to be good to me today. I have about 8 d20's, and pick the four best rollers to use for the session.

I've found in my gaming group that the guys that start to choke their dice whimpering "I'm not gonna make it. I'm not gonna make it!" tend to actually fail their rolls more often than not.

So my thinking is it's best to clear the brain from any thoughts like "If I miss we're dead" and just step up and roll that sucker!

Or, if that doesn't work, throw the dice as HARD as possible so it bounces of everything; that way if it's a fumble you can always blame the wall, gaming buddy, GM shield, your dog, etc.

I find that I roll better when I use a lot 'wrist action spin' combined with short distance. In other words, use a lot wrist spin, but aim it so that the dice doesn't tumble more than about a foot from where you're table spot is (that area on the table in front of where you're sitting).

It sounds silly, but really...its been working pretty good and the other players have adopted it too. Well, except for one guy who does the slow lazy roll from his palm that plops sadly on the table. He rolls consistantly like crap.

I put back spin on my D20 rolls. It seems to produce better rolls. As Dm I prevented a TPK by changing to a top spin, I rolled 3 consecutive 1's and the gain enough advantage to force the monsters to retreat.

I roll the dice really slowly then let it trickle out of my hand.

These are great!

Keep them coming!

Same here, except its 9 d20s instead of 8. And i usually roll one till it starts rollin crappy, and switch to another.
