I had a set of dice, that on one of my oldest characters, a halfling beast-rider, he could do anything except touch his freaking swords, (went through several, mind you....) and get almost all naturals 20s. His life was finally extinguished when my DM "let" him find a vorpal sword, which of course he critically fumbled with, cutting himself in twain...
I still use those dice, except when my characters go into melee range... |

I have a d20 the size of an orange. I bought it to where i wouldn't lose the thing...I did. It rolled decent to, until i went to make a save.

I myself have about 10 sets of dice ive collected over my few years of playing...i mostly have so many because of my disorganized nature and i just like throwin a new color around every now and again.
i also have my origanal set of dice.
In mine and belfars old group there was a die that glowed a flourescent orane. in a huge battle me and a fellow party member had mounts i a grifon and himself a dire lion. when the orange die was rolled for the lion(many, many times mind you, it was a big battle)all it land3d on was one. prbably about 4 or 5 times in a row... what is the probability of that. that goes beyond probability...that is just insane

Yes i have a friend who had a theory like that. The Glass Theory, The older glass windows the bottom half would get heavier over time, so he thought that if you left the highest number up the wieght of the die would shift down allowing it to roll the high number much easier. Good theory but glass die are hard to come by. |

Hehe we got one in our group who does the same by putting all his dices with 1 pointing up. He freaks out if we even touch or turn any of them over  |

One of the players in my group puts all the dices he uses with the number one "up", he thinks by doing this that he wont throw a one when he uses the dice.
myself I like to have the whole set (d4,d6,d8,d10,d12,d20) in the same series or colour. it`s strange but i think every player and dm is a bit superstitious when i comes to dices.  |

Well I can't so say much more my own dice since they always seem to work against me. But my DM has an evil die from the devil himself. Its orange and he almost always rolls 15 or higher. The evil orange die has killed many a PC. |

*blows dust of the ol' tome*
I have a transparent bluish d20 that I use for those moments that calls for valor, purity of heart and the good of all. I call it the Dice of Justice. As a DM I also have a Dice of Evil, a jet black d20 with red numbers, and then of course I have my Dice of Rage. A bloodreddish with swirling shades of red with very light coloured numbers. The Dice of Rage, while mostly used for evil purposes can be rolled instead of the above mentioned dices if the situation calls for it.

Over the years I may have purchased additional die when the need arose - d10's, d20's or d100's - but my five 'core' die (d4, d6, d10, d20, d100) are the same die that I started using in my first role-playing game 15 years ago...the first Dragonlance module I believe it was...

the first is always the best.
the ancient, the one, the father of dices, my dirty white 20 dice, half broken, half eaten by glue attack... but still surviving, watching decenies of dices living, rolling and eventually getting lost.
there is actually three types of 20 dices, so far i can remember. the first has 19 on the the opposite side of 20. the second has 1 on the opposite side of 20 but 7 (or 13?) on the opposite side of 19. the last and most recent has all the opposite sides making 21.
i may not be clear...

I've got a pair of percentiles (20 sided tens - black and red) that I use in my Rolemaster campaign that my group has dubbed "The Blood Dice". These dice have a history of killing people with death crits at just the right moment in play. On both sides too. If I fumble, I fumble BIIIIG.

My friend has a D-20 that is never to be used... He considers it to be a godly dice, he once rolled 3 20's in a row to do that thing where its instant kill on a lvl 10 once and saved the whole party. I dont think I've ever seen him use it since hes retired it

My son (now aged 21) has carried the same D20 in a small dice bag around his neck for the past 6 years. He only ever removes the bag to throw the dice. No-one else is allowed anywhere near it.
Has it done him any good? Nah, I think he's just got a thing about dice |
