While I'm spamming the thread... what I'm keeping 'em in. My wife made a book bag for a friend's child and I couldn't look at the remnants without thinking: Isle of Dread-themed dice bag.

The Gamescience Dice are my go to dice for DMing, but I really like the Stainless Steel dice for playing. I almost never use the Cthulhu dice, but the do look neat ... even if they are really hard to read.

Nice, man. I want to get some stainless steel dice.

capitalbill has a gigantic oversized steel d20 that he uses he when DMs. When you see that bitch come rolling, you better watch out. :lol:

I love my steel dice. They roll very comparably to GameScience dice and, being metal, they actually warm up in your hand ... which I can also attest to you has nothing to do with how they roll ... damn fumbles.

They will leave divots in character sheets though, be forewarned ...

Thanks! Unfortunately it's an empty box. But it's a rare treat that a group of us chip in for annually or so.

I don't think I've ever had it. When I have Irish whiskey I usually have Jamesons 1780 or Redbreast. (Redbreast is my favorite Irish whiskey.)

Ordered this weeks ago before the other dice bag was made. I liked the surprise matching d20. Arrived yesterday (geogr. distance).

I visited several game stores in the surrounding area recently and I picked up a new set of dice. I seriously doubt they will get much use, but they were too awesome to ignore. I've got two sets of very small dice and these metallic babies make them look huge. Pictured below are my usual kryptonite Gamescience and Casino dice, two sets of small dice, and my new set of tiny metallic dice.

And while I'm posting, here are three dice I brought home from Gary Con: the GCIV d4, a Time Master d10, and Sniderman's Savage Afterworld d6.

Egad! So tiny! I'd love to condense a D&D down to the format of those little books that came in decks of Magic cards to go with such a set of dice. (Do they still have those? I'm talking ~1994-5.)

A few new dice... an aventurine set (full size), a wooly mammoth tusk d6 and a meteorite d6. My casino d6 for perspective.

All of my regular-use dice. Lost the GameScience d10 somewhere. The bottom set is jade.

Here's my latest bag. It's a custom dicebag for Barrowmaze that matches the stone on the cover of the dungeon - inside lined with gold coins :)
