Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Captian Tobacco" data-source="post: 5611568" data-attributes="member: 93707">I have plenty of stories about dice.A few even had the players scared. One was a green gem that would crit more often then it would miss. One night, one of the players decided that enough was enough and had removed the die from the bag before the game started and chucked it out onto the yard. Though I had seen this while coming back to the table, I didn't mention that I had seen anything. But when combat began I had six pairs of eyes wide as saucers when I pulled another Green Gem from the bag and landed a crit on one of the players. The Emerald Eye Has since been feared and/or worshiped (it was referenced in another s game as a great gem with an evil reputation). It has been banned from any table except my own. And... it is now on its sixth incarnation, the others having been tossed, broken, lost, chipped, etc. But none of my players know this. More over looked is the rituals and traditions of the dice bag itself. Most today have leather. Easily accessible being cheap to buy or make.Some still remember the days when a Crown Royal bag was the height of fashion amongst gamers, especially the younger crowd who couldn't buy the alcohol and increased their status with the group by the implication that they had pulled some trick to obtaining it. Mine is an old drab green 'personal effects' bag with a paper patch on one side where one can add such information as: Name, Rank, DOB, (Please check any appropriate) WIA, KIA, GASSED, and a few lines where you should place the inventory of the contents...Most players sense the initial purpose of this bag and fear it greatly. I think it sets the mood wonderfully.</blockquote>
