Dice Towers

I don't use a dice tower, but I've seen players use them. I found these videos on youtube and thought they were really cool.

I've never been one to use them either, but those ARE pretty cool.


I once went to a convention and one DM had a sign taped to his DM screen that said in big bold letters NO DICE TOWERS!

But he was talking about stacking dice into towers.

Yeah, that's what I think of when someone says "dice towers." Bad habit of mine. Especially with my bone-themed d6's, which are a dice-stacker's dream.

That's funny that he had to actually mention it.

I would have started stacking books then. You can make a way better tower with the books.

It's become a running in-joke with my friends since then.... Every time someone is stacking dice, inevitably someone else will yell "NO DICE TOWERS!" and slam the table to make it fall over.

It just seemed like such an odd thing to b that upset about.

Yeah, really. There's a lot more important signs to put up before that sign:

No neckbeards!
Shower please!
No fondling!
No cheating!
Don't be annoying!
No rules lawyering!
No metagaming!
No arguing!
No powergaming!
No texting!
No whining!
No sleeping!
No shirts, no pants, no playing!

I've never heard of dice towers before.

What, dice cups like in Yatzee just aren't good enough anymore?

From what I've seen, players use the Yahtzee cups as nothing more than dice bags now. No joke!

 

[Diamond Cross]

Wow. Those cups make awful dice bags. No lid on them.

That first dice tower looked great! And the Lego one was certainly clever. I think I will stick with rolling by hand though...
