Everything's Fine
I backed the Fate Dice kickstarters, so I think I have 48 Fate Dice alone...
It's through Libris Arcana. They have regular dice subscriptions and metal dice subscriptions, as well as comics and adventures. I just have regular dice and I'm not going to even look more closely at their other ones!Tell me more about this dice subscription.
Actually, don't. [Eyes of Nine's wallet]
Yeah, I also had a long period oh not buying dice that ended in 2014 for 5e after my previous dice went union on me. Since then, I've gottent dice from the Essentials set and the Starter set. I'll have to get some more soon to build up my dice stores.Oh, geeze, I have one brick of 36, and another of 12 right in my line of sight - that's 48 right there.
And, I just gave into the urge for some retail therapy, and ordered six sets of polyhedrals, colors inspired by classic NASA pictures of nebulae, which is 42 on the way.
Mind you, I am just coming out of many years of not buying any dice at all, so...
I used to play with a guy that had clear dice. He would roll the dice, pick it up, squint then call out a number.Yeah, I also had a long period oh not buying dice that ended in 2014 for 5e after my previous dice went union on me.

On the whole, I much prefer dice with good contrast that are easy to read over fancy-smancy dice where the numbers are difficult to see.
I've got a guy who bought old school dice where you color in half the numbers (on a d20). Except he didn't really do a good job and so he's the same- always picking up the dice to squint at the number. Since he has roughly an expected amount of fails, even at bad moments, I'm thinking he's being honest...I used to play with a guy that had clear dice.

Was it really what he rolled? Who knows. I'm not sure he even knew.
I second this motion!On the whole, I much prefer dice with good contrast that are easy to read over fancy-smancy dice where the numbers are difficult to see.
Same here. If I or an other player can't see the result, I always consider the result to be a marvellous #1. In other words a total failure. This rule is responsible for the fact that now all my players do not jump on the dice and all dice have nice contrast. It is way easier to read, especially for an old grognar like me, and it removes cheating.On the whole, I much prefer dice with good contrast that are easy to read over fancy-smancy dice where the numbers are difficult to see.
Over 1000 dice, easily, but none of them are as coveted as my solid metal ones-- nothing says "piercing damage" like my caltrops-esque d4.
