I keep mine in a padded fishing tacklebox. Hard to lose THAT. Also, yes, I have enough dice to need that.

Wow. I didn't even catch the hypocrisy. I'm like this but with food. Too expensive! I have to order a new set of dice because it's Tuesday!

@@rolandking640 Don't worry, that's not hypocrisy. It's only a hypocrisy if he said, no one should use minis because they are too expensive. It is resisting one addiction in favor of another, however. I myself love minis and resist mountains of dice. Although i still have more dice than I probably need. I don't have too many minis yet. I say as the unpainted metal and plastic hordes glare at me from the shelf. as well as the storage drawer beneath the shelf.

You can get 10 lbs of dice for 25$ (more than enough to dm and supply all your players with a set) sure the phbs run you about 30 bucks a pop, so 7 is excessive, but 2 or 3 for your table is not crazy. But figurines rack up WAY QUICK. There are over 150 monsters in the monster manual. And for many of those monsters you'll need them in at least 2 if not 4. Sure you can reuse those 100 skeletons you bought in bulk for 20 bucks, but at what point are they really better than numbered tokens? Vs using something to print paper standees. (www.brackcarmony.com/standee/) Sure it might take a bit of time to find images of the monsters you want to use, but really how many places sell Slaad figurines?

I'm just surprised he didn't say anything about "these aren't as dangerous to step on". I knew one player who always called the pyramid 4 sided dice "caltrops".

actually four types of people with dice... one of them is not like the others, one of them downloaded "dice roller".

Gm: "As you look at the wall you hear something large move directly behind you. You hear a low growling breath almost like a bear snoring but very wet. It's hot breath is making the back of your neck moist and slimy and it smells of rotton meat.

It forces it's way past your closed eye lid and licks your eye ball with the corrosiveness of wet sand, bringing excruciating pain . Then slides back the wah it came.

Math rocks

@@Sky-mh1vh it is from a DnD meme.

Isn't that because wet erase has rubbing alcohol in it?

It's actually because the dry erase fibers bond much more strongly to each other than to the surface (ensures nice cohesive lines when writing with them). So when you draw with the fresh "ink", the fibers pull into the old "ink", so when you erase the new ink, the old ink gets pulled out too. Really old dry erase, though, does pretty much become permanent because time is a bonding factor too 😢

Yeah, that's exactly where I am.

Me 2

In what way did the player sort them? By color? By shape? By roll type (d4, d8)? Grouping sets together?

Dragonman0007 definitely by sets if they were able to notice one dice was missing... I do this to my dice... sitting across from the dm... with like 12 sets of dice all neatly organized and all of them with maximum number face up... and then the person sitting next to me keeps turning one of them to a different number just to annoy me... but anywho, any set with missing dice goes into my injured dice box... which is more like a mass grave unless I happen to come across the missing die and am able to resurrect the set.

just roll the one d6 we have for the table 30 times. We poor out here. we so poor some of pur players can't even afford to pay attention.

at that point, I would just take the average of 750 damage and call it a day.

Break cleaner. The good shit! When this stuff or gasoline stops working you have a problem :D

what marker are you suppose to use? (asking so I DON'T make this mistake)

@@talonisthedragon same thought. He didn't tell us the proper one :(

I only used brake cleaner on disks or rotors. If I had a car part that needed cleaning, it was Diesel. Mostly because it worked, and mostly because I drove a lot of things that used diesel.

I don't really have "sets" but I do have a literal tackle box full of dice.

Mr Son ah, I see, a dragon

Yep this is actually close to something that happened to me once

I played an other TRPG where I used like 30d6 with several meanings. At one point I got like 80 of them in sets of different colors because I was annoyed. Most of them are little ones though.

There are A LOT of easy ways to play. Theirs a Subreddit called r/lfg that you can use to find a group. It’s usually beginner friendly and I’ve used it and made some really good friends

You should ask Ben for a PHB giveaway... I heard he has 7 of them... 😅

I recommend finding a group with a good amount of freetime that also doesn't create like 5 different games at once, because all of them end up getting cancelled and then new ones pop up. (Had to play in like 7 different campaigns so far)

Same. Wish I could find a group in my area

Okay, looking at it again, I see it does include rules for Rogues. I had picked Wizard because I wanted to try something different.

Wet erase markers work very well on the chessex mat. Once it's time to erase, just get a wet paper towel, which will easily transfer all the ink from the mat to your fingers. Presto! Clean mat! (Hides hands behind back.)

Have yoiu ever sat alone at a campfire? It's not so bad.
