Behold the sanctity of a gamer’s dice bag. One dares not violate it. Ben knows there’s a story and superstition behind every precious die in one’s collection. So, let’s delve into his dice pile and see what we find (and remember no touching – just looking).

Ben has attained quite a mishmash of dice goodness. He never knows when a bitter cold streak is going to hit. He demands variety and humor in every of roll.

His favorite RPG dice finds include:

• Oddballs: d3 or d4 as an eight-sided No problem
• Language: Always nice to fail in a foreign tongue
• Locator: In the?
• Clear: Hopelessly in love with this style
• Oversized: Bigger can sometimes be better
• Treasure: Pick the parcel on the spot
• Directional: The incredibly hard to find scatter die
• Monster: Great for wandering
• Huh: What was Ben thinking?
• Go-to: This DMs favorite set (for now)
• Metal: Heavy but effective
• Misfits: There’s a die for every occasion
• Memorable: Good times…good times
• Utility: DM tools
• Humorous: Funny as in ha-ha funny
• Nouns: Random objects

The where-to-buy in dice hunting is just as elusive as the what-to-buy. Online options are a mess. Your local game store, like a Gamers’ Inn, will net you some periodic pleasure. However, Ben recommends saving the biggo search for your annual Gen Con Mecca. All the distributors proudly display their wares in huge quantities. Finding dice gems there are fun and easy.

Gen Con is also the infamous home of the dice dive. You can pay $30-plus and use an empty frat-like beer pitcher to scope up as many as you can. It’s the perfect way to amass a community dice stash for guests. You gotta experience this once in your gaming lifetime.

And we didn’t even really talk about all the dice trays and rollers out there.
