D&D General How much dice do you own?

[Theo R Cwithin]

I believe those are referred to as Grognard size. Easier to see, and easier to huck at kids on your lawn.

Grognard size, for grognards' eyes.

Let's see, 16 sets of dice, with 7 to 10 dice per set...huh. I didn't know that about myself.

I can tell you with certainty, having bought many the "Pound of Dice" for my store, that a pound is nearly exactly 100 dice. So a pound and a half is 'only' around 150. I have counted dice in a pound many many times ... always between 90 and 110 with many various sizes.

Interestingly, if you look at weights on Amazon you see that the 'pound of dice' is only 358g, which is more like .8 of a pound, but is indeed about 100 dice. So a full weighed pound of those dice would be something like 125 or 130 dice?

Whaaat? I've been being ripped off on my "Pound o' Dice" bags! SHAME on CHESSEX!

I have at least 10 full sets plus who knows how many d6s.

The example given is Canadian, and the company is "Wiz Dice".

That's a pretty unfortunate name for a dice company. Don't they know that gamers are all 12 years old at heart?

Actually, apparently not. I looked up the Chessex one and it's 440g, so you're pretty spot on. Aren't Chessex dice a little bit bigger than some other brands? That would explain their caveat that their bag contains 80-100 dice.

This is really just an excuse to browse dice on Amazon of course.

Yep. Full size and fairly heavy. They look lovely under normal circumstances, but the light was just perfect when I took that photo.

Hmm...let's see. $100. A set of unnecessary amethyst jewels, or a weeks worth of food.

The jewels, I say!

 

[Morrus]

I went for about 10 years refusing to bring or own dice, having had all of my dice stolen one by one.

Yeah, the first image drawn by a player on a Google Whiteboard in one of my online game....a penis. Actually two players were drawing the same thing simultaneously.

Even funnier, the aforementioned juvenile, 40 year adults are both teachers.
Cylindrical objects must just be fun to draw, or online instruction makes teachers vengeful.

Whiz Dice...maybe a translation error/misunderstanding....like a chinese restaurant called “OK Chinese Food”......we can do better than “Ok” for superlatives.

Or like the time I had to explain the movie The Whiz, predates R. Kelly to a much younger person.
