[QUOTE="Imagicka, post: 2230840, member: 4621"] Greetings... Okay...so, here's my question DungeonmasterCal: How much dice do you have now? Well, let me just start off by saying that once I showed my fellow gamers all my dice. My friends only saw me in different games using different sets of dice. So, when they finally were all playing in the same game together, they commented on my dice set. To which one of the players said "No, he's got a set in a chainmail bag."...and all the players then proceeded to actually map out on a piece of paper, chart all the different dice sets I had and what purpose I had them for. I was rather amazed at the deductive powers. But, now they claim I don't collect dice by the set, but by the pound. As for the suspersations that I have: 1. I roll dice repeatedly to get the 'low' rolls out of it, to reset it. 2. If I roll high, I don't touch the die (such as moving it to a better position for everyone to see it or to read it). 3. I too have the 'Just rolled low, next is high' bug. 4. As for charging up my dice, I don't stick them in my ear...but I will roll the die around in my hand or hold it for a few minutes while concentrating on it...to charge it with luck or chi, or what-have-you. 5. I segregate my 'bad dice', and put them in a smaller bag within my large travelling bag of dice. Just so that are made of example of and put on display for the other dice as a warning. 6. I do use new dice for a new character, or a new campaign. 7. I have separate sets of dice for separate characters. 8. I have separate sets of dice for separate campaigns I'm GMing. 9. I have separate sets of dice for playing and for GMing. 10. I have special dice for my BBEG. 11. I sometimes have separate dice for separate monsters/NPCs. 12. I don't however throw out rests of sets because I lost one die. I either buy a replacement, or put them in my 'miscellaneous' bag of dice. 13. I now collect different dice bags for my different sets. 14. I have been known to destroy dice because it's rolled one too many one's. 15. Any dice I use must belong to a complete set. 16. When roleplaying and not much rolling is going on, I organize my dice from lowest to highest, and sometimes I even turn the dice over so that the 'luck' won't pool on one side of the dice or another...yeah...crazy eh? 17. I love my glow-in-the-dark dice, I even have a handheld blacklight to charge my GitD Dice that will usually sit behind the GM screen. 18. I keep a set of dice on my neck that is never rolled in-game, they are considered jewelry (so it puts the 'luck' into statis). 19. I don't let bad dice and good dice sit together for long. Now, this concept of 'uglier the better' die rule...you know I'm going to be thinking about that next time I game. [/QUOTE]
