Tips/Tricks/Rituals to "bless" new dice?

hmm, in terms of celebrities, is it just gaming celebrities, or would any celebrity do? I've never been to any sort of Con, GEN or other, so my exposure to gaming celebs has been non-existent
Who did you have in mind? David Caruso?

You roll the dice and they stop on an edge, wait a second, then make a little spin, and land on max.

My dad has a ton of sports memorabilia (mostly baseball/NY Yankees). I'm sure I could dig up a Derek Jeter or Mickey Mantle signature somewhere.

I guess I could try that and see if it works. If not, I can always buy a new set.
 

Sit behind the DM screen. It seems to be all it takes for my dice to catch fire. When mooks are hitting Old Masters in Feng Shui every session (requires a dice to explode twice before you've started) after the second time your PCs have requested a change of dice there are problems.

I'm almost exclusively a DM nowadays, and my bad rolling continues, as I make all of my combat rolls on the table in view of others.

But then your dice will only roll well when they're adequately paid.

And they'll expect bonuses for crits...;)

I would gladly give my dice bonuses for crits, since it so rarely happens. Though, back early in our 3.5 campaign about 3 years ago now, I did flatten the party ranger with a mega crit once - I think he ended up at somewhere around minus 30, and was only like fourth level at the time, so was facing an appropriate encounter for his level. (That was one of those "every 8-10 sessions" I had mentioned where I rolled really well... it was almost a TPK)
 

I have two dice bags, on for dice that roll well to go into, and one for those that roll badly. When a good die starts rolling badly, consistently, mind you, not some of the time, it is put in the bad bag, which I use for rolls that do not benefit me, then I have the dice in the good bag that do benefit me.

another side story about dice rolling, I have players that do not believe that dice can roll badly consistently, then I have a clear red d20 that is awful, and it rolls, our of 10 rolls, only 1 of them was above 10, and even that was an 11, then I have another, blue with gold streaks through it, out of 10 rolls, it rolled 2 of them below 10 and 3 20s

proof that there are better and worse dice.
 


You don't bless dice, you train them, with both carrot & stick:

New dice must spend 24 hours in the company of dice turned to their maximum value, so they learn by example what is expected. Then they are rewarded by being kept in a comfortable place.

Dice that habitually roll 1s are summarily executed in front of the others.
