This last Saturday my group (of four) and I kicked off our new 4e campaign. for fun I decided I would order some cool dice for each person, and I chose the dice for each person based on the character they were going to be playing - so for example, my friend playing a Ranger I got some green and gold gemini dice - it looks green and brownish and seemed woodsy. For the Wizard, I got the purple and blue gemini dice which represent swirling magic to me -- so you get the idea.
Anyway, a few of these players already had dice (2 are new to pnp rpg's) and I thought they may be too attached to use new dice, but I got them anyway.
As for myself, I am a little too attached to mine having had them since I was 12 or 13 (am 31 now), but it might be hard if someone gave new dice to me as a gift.
So here's the question for you -- everyone in my group used their new dice. If it were you in your current situation, would you have used new dice given to you, or are you too attached to a favorite set? And as a second part, do you have any odd habits, traditions, etc with your dice? (for example, one of the common ones being that you sit your dice so the highest possible roll is always visible when not being used).
