Dice!

[pyat]

I just accompanied commanderteddog on a walk up to the Hairy Tarantula, where she purchased her first set of gaming dice. She got a set of Werewolf ten siders, and a set of black speckled Chessex polyhedrals.

Her journey to the Dork Side is complete.

Oh, five or six is plenty. They usually sell 'em in tubes, or sets. :)

Oh.

I was thinking at least 15. 5 or 6 is "a few" imho.

I had similar thoughts. Which is why I made two trips for dice today. Glad I did, too. The two tubes of dice I bought on the first trip only had 1d10 apiece.

Yeah, in my experience, tubes of dice are usually D&D dice--meaning 1d20, 1d12, 3 or 4d6, 1d4, and percentile dice (1 normal d10, and 1d10 with 10, 20, 30, etc. instead of 1, 2, 3, etc.).

Exactly so; so, on the one hand, I am now substantially overstocked with dice I have no need for in the upcoming game. On the other paw, I have substantial projectile attention-getters in reserve if I see Pyat's attention start to drift during the game. So it's all good. n.n

D12s are *great* for spinning.

One day, maybe, we'll play Champions, the game where people regularly roll twenty six siders in one go.

So, eight would be a tad excessive, then.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Eight is enough!

The set I got came with ten. o.O
