Disappearing Dice

[SnowleopardVK]

Well, not just dice actually; lots of little things go missing and don't turn up until right after I needed them.

My set of dice had been missing for about three weeks now. I was growing tired of using online dice rollers, and it reached its most-annoying during a game session last Sunday. So today I gave in and went out and bought the same type of 10-die set that had disappeared on me (just in a different colour).

Of course within minutes of getting home and opening up the new dice package I found the missing set beneath my Guitar Hero guitar. Isn't it weird how things always seem to go like that? Well... I guess they don't always go like that, I just remember all the times it does because it's annoying.

On the plus side I now have twice as many dice. 4 d10s because the set comes with 2 for D%/D100, 8 d6s, and 2 of each of d4, d8, d12, and d20. Those "roll 2d4" situations will thwart me no longer. Haha!

(Plus they're colourful and pretty. My old clear pink set and my new sparkly dark green set.)

Hehe. Yes, dice are nice!

I wish I was a lucky as you. All the dice I'd collected since I was a kid went missing sometime in the last five or six years, during a move I guess. The set I miss the absolute most was my very first: cheapo light blues ones that came in my old Red Box. They were badly chipped, practically ground to nubs, and even still had (some of) the original white crayon numbers!

:: heavy sigh::

I've since bought a few replacement sets... but they're just not the same.

I once lost (or got relieved of) a pair of black d10s in college. We played DC heroes and those dice sure rolled doubles a lot (which meant to reroll and add the numbers togetehr for impressive blows.) My players hated those dice.

LOL

I used to run an online dice store. Had a teacher out in Utah that bought me out of loose d10's for her sadistics, er, statistics, class.

The business finally crashed and burned and most of my inventory is liquidated and gone.

I keep finding my own personal dice in weird places. Including having found my old light blue grease-crayon dice. Not chipped or worn down, but I found 'em. The memories of being in that campaign back in Jr. High School....we never did figure out why 3 cheerleaders kept sitting next to us and listening in and watching. They'd ask questions from time to time about stuff, never did get into insulting us or anything, despite us being the Geek Squad.

Anyway, it is easy to get into the habit of collecting dice. My wife, having recently decided to retire from gaming, has handed her books and dice off to me to sell. She had a couple of those teensy weensy little polyhedral sets. One red and one gold.

Anyone own and actually use those all metal dice from Crystal Caste? Them suckers are heavy and loud!

I'm really anal when it comes to my dice. I HATE losing them and (knock on wood) have only lost one of the really small d8s I used to have.

I LOVE glow in the dark stuff, especially dice. My yellow glow d8 is worn and I need another glow green d6.

I've only been able to see the orange and blue glow dice sold in bulk from a plastic manufacturing place in China. Minimum order is something like 10,000 pieces. I don't need that many dice. lol

I'm going to give someone some money to find some at gen con for me because I'm not able to go this year.

I can't recall how many times that has happened to me with other things. I was looking for my basic D&D books for months before I just decided to download Labyrinth Lord. I found the books shortly after that. They were sitting on a dresser in a spare room! How I missed them is beyond me. I subscribe to this: "If you can't find something, stop looking then you will find it." This works with almost anything. I have a friend that keeps "looking" for a gf, I've told him to just stop looking. He hasn't but oh well. Now if I could only find my windows xp installation disks. I stopped looking for those months ago and still haven't found them. ROFL

You only had ONE set of dice?

You really should clean up your room more often. I bet you'll find all kinds of things that you forgot about.

My wife, having recently decided to retire from gaming, has handed her books and dice off to me to sell.

Wha...wha....WHAT? In most cultures, this is reason for divorce! It's almost like cheating, except worse. Selling her stuff must of been the hardest thing you have ever had to do.

Has he checked the dresser in your spare bedroom?

Or under Snowleopard's guitar hero guitar?
