[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8295587, member: 18"] Are you just bringing dice for yourself? You say "table" so'd guess not. I'd say something like 30 d10, 30 d6, 12 d20, 6 1d12, 10 d8, and 8 d4, which would cover most major systems and allow you to have like 4-6 players without excessive dice-sharing. You'd be sharing dice a lot more in WoD and Shadowrun (because that's like three players worth of dice), and would a bit in other systems, but that'd keep you going. This is less than I have in my 6" x 6" dice cube, which has flown internationally a number of times. Yeah some people will prefer that tack, though with some games, like Cortex Prime, I'd argue using a phone with any dice-roller I've ever seen is vastly slower and clunkier than using actual dice. But Cortex Prime and the like are somewhat unusual in that they're partly about dice-manipulation and dice-based decision-making. Not for all RPGs. Cortex Prime features a system where you're likely to roll 3-7 dice, and then you choose two to be your roll, another one to be your "effect die" (where applicable), and may well be rolling or re-rolling dice or removing them from the pool and so on.
