What are your go-to dice?

Mostly D20s. I have one from last convention that is slightly larger than the normal size and must be for Magic counting since the numbers are all next to the each other in sequence. It is a nice blue and white easy to read.

I do not use a lot of the others since I have the players roll damage against their character from monsters.

Mostly my moldvay basic dice set I got in 1981 still, with a pair of jade gemstone d6s. Sometimes I will use a set to match my PC theme. Green for Druid, black onyx for necromancer, etc.

The Torg d20. Wraith and metal d10s. Sundry Fate dice sets from Evil Hat. Metal d6s.

Plain old Chessex solid color opaque dice in ROYGBV colors with inked Arabic numerals. Easy to read and durable.

I do also have a giant honking d6 that I use for the escalation die (13th Age) and that one has pips on it rather than numerals. However each face is about the size of a dessert plate so it’s pretty readable anyway.

There days, mostly playing on line, either the Roll20 /roll command, or the Javascript dice roller a friend wrote. For face-to-face play, either some of the custom dice I designed in 2015-16, or Dwarven Stones metal dice I don't have a picture of.

For years my go-to dice were a set of "poison yellow" Koplow dice that I bought back in 1995 or 1996. They were butt ugly and had no collectible value to speak of, but they were easy to read. I lost them in a move a few years ago.

Many of us have fun exotic dice or crazy collections. That's not this thread.

What dice do you use most of the time when playing and why?

I have a leather bag (which originally came with a bottle of rhum inside - it was a gift) where I keep all my RPG dice, which are all normal polyhedral dice, most of which are 20+ years old though occasionally I've bought a few more. I simply pull out any dice from that bag when I play, no "favourites" or superstitious behaviour.

Good old Chessex dice. Especially FIRE dice!

(My players hate them, lol).

1d10’s are my go to.

At this rate, I don't even know. Currently the plan seems to be this:

I really like the Q-Workshop series of Witcher Dice sets. Specifically the Geralt and Yennifer sets.

Speaking of Witcher Dice sets, my latest dice purchase was The Witcher:Signs-Elder Dice collaboration set from Infinite Black. Each of the Witcher Signs count as the highest number on each dice type. (Purple is D20, Green is the D12, etc, etc. the D4 has no sign sadly)

I also, from Infinite Black, want to purchase a number of their 1-UP dice sets with having those being my main set of dice.

This seems to be what I'm leaning towards as for my main dice usage. I also have some sets from Kraken Dice.

Outside of that, I also have four DCC dice sets. I'm actually amazed by how nice the Water Elemental set looks.

I also want to get another set of these, as it seems like the one set I have currently has "bubbles" in them when I hold them up to the light.

Those are currently my fave of the DCC dice sets followed by water elemental, hellcat, and the XCrawl Classics set.
