[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8508962, member: 6796661"] So, I went through a phase where I always played with a carefully curated set of high-precision metal dice. The problem is that it is too expensive to punish said dice for bad behavior, especially when only capital punishment fits the crime. So, I'm thinking of going back to cheap dice from the bulk game-store dice bins so I an affordably indulge my sadistic, DM power trips, and my random-number-generating minions who disappoint me. What are the best capital punishments for dice. I don't mean temporary punishments like freezing them in ice, putting them in a time-out box, or other soft treatments unworthy of an evil egomaniacal tyrant. Some come easily to mind: [LIST] [*]smashing with a hammer is an oldie but goodie, nothing creative about this, but it is satisfying [*]slowly tightening in a vice until crushed--now that's getting into the spirt [*]projecting it with a wrist-rocket-style slingshot at a hard surface or into a lake...hard to ensure destruction, though, and there is a risk of ricochet injuries (best delegate this to a player). [*]use a Dremel to sand off all the numbers, drill holes into it, and circular saw it in half [*]drill a hole through it and string onto a necklace to be worn when running games as a continued warning to your other dice [*]throw into a rock-polisher until it is a marble [*]melt it down with an acetylene torch, something about a welding mask shouts modern-day executioner [/LIST] Please help me increase this list. I have so many dice to execute. [/QUOTE]
