The gamescience stuff (except for the green "mood dice" in the lower left hand side)

The rest, including old TSR dice. Under the bag with the crayon is a set from my Holmes boxed set (White d20, big blue d12, etc...)

My current go-to dice: a metal d20 and 8ball d6; as well as the kryptonite casino d6 set that Chainsaw gifted to me.

Damn that metal d20 - even now I can hear it rumbling across the table to achieve Halgron's doom.

Wanting to get it on the game-collection picture fun. These are the parts of my collection that aren't boxed up:

Part 1: my computer desk
Image

Part 2: closet in my bedroom
Image

In addition to this stuff there are (by my quick count) 8 more boxes full of stuff. Plus even more stuff in my mom's basement back in Indiana (which I don't care about and would just as soon throw away -- Dragonlance modules, 2E stuff, White Wolf stuff, a bunch of Dragon and Polyhedron issues, Star Frontiers, 3E Gamma World, etc.).

I've had that damn thing for some time. I only pull it out when I DM and need to scare the crap out the players.
Does that big red six-sider have the GenCon 25 logo in place of the 1? If so, I've got one just like it :)
That is the one, indeed. I had a bunch of them at one time or another.

Hehe. I'm looking at RuneQuest Deluxe and the Dragon Pass game, personally. ;)

There's also a shelf full of RQ books and boxes (both Chaosium and AH) that you can't see in the second pic because there's stuff piled up in front of it (it's below the shelf with all the Traveller stuff), plus a box filled with small-press fan-publications I picked up in the 90s (and possibly even a stack of dot-matrix printouts from the old RQ and Glorantha mailing lists, though I think I may have eventually thrown those away).

OK Chainsaw, you owe me some money. I had already been reading up on dice, and was interested in picking up some gamescience and casino dice, but your pic pushed me over the edge and forced me to order some of both.

I've got a set of ruby red & a set of sapphire gamescience dice otw, as well as a set of red casino dice and blue casino dice.

If I ever get to run X2, I'll have to pick me up a set of amber dice, too. 8)

Ha! You'll have to take a number, I'm afraid.

Congrats on your new dice though. :)

I still have no idea how the "cheater's 1d8" got into my collection. :D

Here are my four favorite dice, and a few other things that happen to be sitting on my spare computer desk turned book shelf. The two red casino dice are personal favorites of mine, because I love the way they roll, the feel of them in my hand, and so on. They are excellent. The pink d6 is Mr. Pinkie. When the DM is losing initiative roll after initiative roll, he busts out Mr. Pinkie. Mr. Pinkie never steers him wrong. Then there is my big d20. I save this die for times when I need to make a really big roll.

Oh, and that trophy you guys are looking at? Never mind that. None of you would understand, because clearly you are not the #1 DM. That's because I am. Your foolish players may tell you you're all that, but the truth is, I hold the trophy and you don't.

I was just oogling the sweet retro plamate puzzle. I remember they used to sell those at Spencers, next to all the groovy lava lamps and black light posters.
