Dice Towers

As a DM, I use one to roll fairly, even if behind the screen. I also don't want my dice flying everywhere and inter-mingling with other people's dice. They could come back with Critical Miss Disease :eek:

I like the leather tower. Mine is similar, but made of plastic and is a little noisy. I should glue some felt to it.
 

Yes, and if you drop it always the same way - there will be always the same effect. You get for example 20 x roll instead of 3 / 3.5 - 4 (depending on how big hand you have), but the hard part is to control your palm. The tower will never flinch, it will never hesitate, it doesn't get sweaty, it will never shake. Everything other is just observation.
ANy supporting evidence of that? I find it hard to believe that somebody is capable of loading and dropping the dice in a dice tower the same way repeatedly to get the exact same effect.
 



It's true, that's why dice towers are not allowed in Vegas. You guys don't remember the Day of the Nerds back in '82 when D&D players almost put Vegas in the poor house with their dice towers?

Didn't they make a movie about that starring Kevin Spacey as Gary Gygax?

"The only thing worse then a person who falls in a 10' pit is someone who won't admit he played badly!"

Hehe, true - RPG gamers are mostly the type stuck on the short end of that stick (and more of those where this one came from ;-) ). But the fact that no casino uses any form of "randomisers" is also true, something to be learnt from.
Anyhoo, nuff said, those who were curious got some addendum's.
 

I have a couple of dice towers: a basic wooden one and a cardstcok one from Fat Dragon. I don't use them all the time... usually for either show or to keep dice from skittering across (and off) the table.
 


Human error would seem to still be a factor with the dice tower.

But lets face it, there is ways of cheating with dice no matter how they get rolled.
