In my own dice bag, I have a couple of each type, a couple extra d4s and 5 or 6 d6s. None of them match.

But then I also have a pretty large mason jar full of dice that sit out for guys that forgot theirs. That stays at home.

I have a bucket that is full of all the dice I have collected in my lifetime, and it resides permenantly on (or near) the game table.
 

I have several of each type of standard 3rd edition D&D dice. But I usually will only use a single set for the whole session if I'm playing (unless I'm blasting away with fire balls, lightning bolts etc then I need extra dice), sometimes multiple d20s as a DM so I can roll a ton of attacks at once.

How do you like those? I bought the clear quartz ones, but I can't stand them. They're nearly impossible for me to read.

Like this? They would probably drive me mad, along with what we've dubbed the "color blindness test" dice that I am yet to be convinced actually have numbers on them.

The stone dice I have are dark and quite heavy for their size. I know there's a proper name I should be calling them, but I can't think of it at the moment...
 

If I'm playing, it's usually three full sets plus some extra d20s and d6s.

If I'm DM, it's a pound or more. And I can never find the dice I want when I need them.
 

I have a crown royal bag that is 3/4 full of multilpe sets and just before the game I give it a shake and then open it up and when I need a certain die I pull it out and the dice that I pull stay out for the game. :)
