Message: <blockquote data-quote="scourger" data-source="post: 5625998" data-attributes="member: 12328">My biggest dice superstition is having a level, contained area in which to roll.  It started several years ago with a character death that I attribute to an uneven, cluttered rolling area at someone else's table top.  So, that very next week, I bought a dice rolling tray and kept my dice bag inside it in the cardboard box.  You may have seen them--a wooden octagon with felt on the bottom.  It worked, but it got heavy and cumbersome to unbox everything and then unbag the dice.  The next step has been a wooden box that I found that opens flat.  It originally had wine tools in it, but I honestly bought it just for the box.  I lined it with self-adhesive felt cut to fit.  It is awesome.  I keep my dice for a given game in it in my bag.  The sounds are muffled by the felt.  Then, when it's time to roll, I open the box which lays flat on the table.  All my dice are stored on one side and I have a defined rolling area on the other side.  I love it.As a DM, my players hate some of my dice.  I have an orange d20 from the Star Wars minis game that has been the bane of one of my players.  A bunch of red d6s from a casino scare them, too; especially when we play Savage Worlds with aces (exploding dice).  Lately, on the player side, I've been using all my green dice.  Some arrived as a gift that week, which I took as a sign.  I put them in the dice box for a St. Patrick's Day game that I ran, and I just left them in the box.  They've been rolling really hot for the past few weeks, which is fine with me.  When I kept my dice in bags, I kept them in certain bags.  My playing dice were all blue and lived in a white leather shaman's bag from Montana.  My DMing dice were kept in a blue canvas bag from a sailmaker in the Bahamas.  Both were gifts so each has sentimental value too.</blockquote>
