[QUOTE="Super Pony, post: 5518865, member: 6669292"] I have played with a man (at least I'm assuming he was human) who had three sets of dice that he would rotate through the freezer at his girlfriend's house (who was our GM at the time). He would literally roll, stand up and walk into the kitchen (typically missing descriptions and key development) plop the recently rolled die into an ice cube tray and come sit back down....rinse repeat...all session. So I can feel the frustration of the other players at the OP's table. I would recommend being adult and forthright with the guy and tell him one-on-one so he doesn't feel put on the spot mid-session. "Samtodjeff, you are hanging up the action with the multiple die rolls and the other folks are getting chaffed by it. It doesn't particularly bother me, but could I ask you to roll for the lucky set of dice at the beginning of the session and just stick with them? It'll help me focus on dishing out the horrendous monsters and dismal chances of survival you all show up each session for." If it is more an issue of the other players needing to lay off the whining, just tell the lucky roller to roll his dice and then get up and go put the recently rolled die in an ice-cube tray in the freezer. I'm sure the other players will be begging him to go back to multiple luck dowsing rolls in no time....or they'll lynch him with fig newtons. [/QUOTE]
