Funny you should mention it - ever tested your dice? There's a fun experiment where you can put the softcore d20s in a heavy saline solution. They'll float. You can poke them gently, and some (many) of them aren't quite balanced, so they'll keep coming up the same number.

I have occasionally wondered how much "gamer funk" comes from the dice, dice bags, "lucky" shirts and other accoutrements.

Don't wash that original "Trunk of Lou Zocchi's Car" aroma off your d100's, boys!
It'll be an heirloom fragrance one day!
