Roll 'em, dude
This latest column from Rafael Velez at The RPG Times is a quick read. There are some interesting tidbits in there about dice, dice collecting and how old some forms of polyhedral dice really are.
Most gamers have quite the dice collections. I don't. I've rarely purchased dice, and my collection only takes up enough space to fill half a plastic Kool-Aid container. A quick count ... and there are exactly sixty-five dice kept aside for RPGs. I'm sure there are others in my various board games and such, but these are my RPG dice. There's nothing really too fancy here, either. The most unique ones are the Ghostbusters RPG die with a Ghostbusters logo replacing the six, a couple of casting six-sided dice I got out of a Dragon Magazine two or three years ago and a couple of dice my parents brought back from Vegas that have the Aladdin casino's logo in the place of the one.
I still have the original dice that came with my D&D Red Box, and that red d20 that was packaged is still my preferred d20 to use while playing RPGs requiring such a unit.
Now that I think about it, though, maybe I should get some more dice. ;)
