How many dice do you own?

[LGodamus]

much more than a hundred , but prolly not a thousand yet...since there are alot around I cannot seem to find....

I've got several dozen, including around 3-4 roughly complete sets (a translucent purple; swirly green; normal blue; blue/green mix).

I've also got 1d5 (clear), 5d7 (two white, three black), 1d24 (clear), and 1d30 (blue).

Wierd dice are neat.

I have lots of dice---but I make lots of virtual rolls also!

I have well over 100, but i don't nessasrily collect them, i just buy them compulsivly.

I keep 46 dice in my bag, and carry a case of 12d6 for Shadowrun. Storyteller games have caused one friend to stock up on d10s. Another friend keeps buying sets of mini d6s for Shadowrun.

Rather than quantity, I think I get by with history for my dice. About a dozen of my dice were my Dad's, back when he gamed. To those, I've added my own purchases, as well dice from boxed sets (back when games came with the dice). I have one d10 from each the basic and advanced Marvel Super Heroes game, a d6 from Top Secret SI, and a d20 from Paranoia 2nd- one of the prizes of my collection, that's a PC-killing die if ever I saw one.

I don't have enough....

100+ dice is by no means insane. I started a poll like this one a few months back, and topped it out at 2,500+ (if I remember correctly) -- and at least one person had that many.

I love dice.

I've only got about 70 or so, but it's been interesting seeing the collection grow. What started as a single set from the 2nd Edition starter box has slowly but surely grown. At first, I could fit them all in a child's sock tied with string. Then, it went to the bottom half of a size 10 sock. Now, it's almost completely filled that size 10 sock. The best bit is the 3 inch diameter d20 that resides at the very bottom of the sock. Take out the rest, and instant bludgeoning weapon

I have... one set of 8 for D&D, 10 10-sided dice for White Wolf, and some assorted dice I've picked up over the years. I've got the d20 I keep in my car "just in case of an emergency" and the "Random DM Fun Die" which is a d4, and is used for miscellaneous stuff, like "Is there a pot with such-and-such flower in this house?" You sing the words "Random DM Fun Die," decide in your head what odds and evens mean, and then roll. It makes players laugh, and in that time you decide what the hades you were doing.

My old roommates had a ton, and one of our players (the barbarian in one campaign and the paladin in the other) often bought new sets to try and shake the Captain Crit-Fumble name he got in a game I wasn't at. So we had some saved up, which doubled as miniatures. I remember some pygmy d6'es that served as whatever baatezu are the globs.

My current roommates are completely different ends of the spectrum. One of them has a ton of dice, but has his favorites in a velvety bag he keeps in the front pocket of his bookbag almost all the time. The other... two Christmases we bought him his first set of dice, after he'd been gaming four years before that. Family didn't like D&D, so he never had anything. Went off to college, family stopped caring, he started buying. So we bought him dice to celebrate after his sophomore year.

I don't own any novelty dice or anything -- I can't rationalize spending 8 bucks on a single die unless it's going to roll some cinematically great critical hits.

I do want a d7, though.

I agree with the first poster, 100+ being rated INSANE is pretty weak by the hardcore gamer standards of this message board.
