[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2139193, member: 12332"] I have a specific full set of dice that I use for when I'm behind the PC sheet. If I lose part of the set I blend it into my larger pool and buy a new set. That's just because I'm OCD, I think. I like a full set. I have specific d20s that I use when I'm DMing, as well. I have my special "TPK" die that seems to roll inordinately high on a regular basis, which I don't let any of the players have. Actually I don't think it's so much a superstition as a flaw in the die construction that causes it to be weighted to 15. I roll ALOT of 15s with that thing. I don't let players borrow it because, well, I don't want them always rolling 15. One of my players has a set of dice that he owns, he's still really new to tabletop gaming so its his only set ... the d20 in that set rolls ALOT of 1s and 3s. He almost invariably borrows one of my die about two 1s into each session. Need to save that one for days we play Alternity. And I like d4s that have the numbers written on the points as opposed to the flats. The numbers are too scrunchy on flats-written die and 4s and 3s seem to have more surface area so on "points" dice more material is taken out making those points lighter and perhaps more likely to land facing upward. ... ... mostly they're just more aesthetically pleasing, though. --fje [/QUOTE]
