I got by with one set until I started DMing. Ever since then, dice make up about 70% of my carbon footprint.
Ya, well, I have a goblin brain, and I need all the pretty click-clacks.
Okay, your spell hits, now roll 12d6 for damage
That’s why you buy a box of 36 small d6.
And then 5e came along and changed half the spells to use d8s instead.
My eyeballs don’t do small dice anymore
Wesley Treat made a set that might be more your speed on YouTube.
I assume a piped bot will shortly appear with that link.
You could, ya know, do it yourself FFS. 😘🤷🏼♂️
Good bot.
Heh. 😘
Chessex (and I assume others) also have sets of 12 d6s in the same size boxes as the 7 dice sets usually come in

Me: *buying dice at the game store.*
Clerk: Sure you only want the one set?
Me: yep! It’s got all of the 7 dice I’ll ever need for #dnd
Clerk: okay then! *under their breath: “See you soon”*
Me: what?
Clerk: what?

Besides damage dice you’ll need at minimum two different D20 sets for DnD. One extra so the bad set can sit in Dice Jail™ until it’s learned it’s lesson.
It comes in lbs? I’m getting one
But you already got one!
rolls up to the register with an entire cart full of D6 boxes
“Gonna be playing Shadowrun this weekend.”
I’m not into pen and paper rpgs (though i’m curios about them), but if you need a bunch of dice, why not use an app?
If I was going to rob myself of rolling thousand dice, I’d just play video games.
In a nutshell: rolling cool looking dice in a groovy dice tower is just absolutely pleasant.

I can’t swim through an app like Scrooge McDuck in his vault.
RPGs for me are a great way to not look any devices or screens for a few hours. Paper character sheet, physical dice, books and a pencil.

When I started DMing I bought a couple of packs on Ebay in order to have color coded dice for my players.
Then when I started playing, I bought myself 2 sets of really nice metal dice from Etsy.
Now I don’t have the urge to buy any more dice, because there just is no need.

Hey baby, it is time to buy more dices!

Dice* you heathen. 🤢
Sorry, english is not my native language
Not a worry, it was mostly said in jest 🤗🍻
What’s the singular of dice, friend?
"What is the singular form of dice?
‘Die’ is the singular form of ‘dice’. It comes from the French word des, a plural word for the same objects. In English, the most common way to make nouns plural is to add an ‘s’. If ‘die’ followed that rule precisely, its plural form would be ‘dies’, however, English is full of irregular plurals. Along with octopus, fish, goose, wolf, cactus, and appendix, “die” does not follow that rule implicitly. The plural form is ‘dice’. If you roll dice, you are rolling two or more game pieces. If you roll a die, you are only using one piece."
It’s really as simple as: which sounds correct? “Rolling a die” or “rolling a dice”? 🤷🏼♂️ Anti-intellectualism is no one’s friend, friend.
It’s dice.
It’s die.
It’s dice and die. Both are correct depending on who you ask
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/dice
In old-fashioned English, ‘dice’ was used only as a plural form, and the singular was die, but now ‘dice’ is used as both the singular and the plural form.
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/dice
The singular usage is considered incorrect by many authorities. However, it should be noted that The New Oxford Dictionary of English, Judy Pearsall, Patrick Hanks (1998) states that “In modern standard English, the singular die (rather than dice) is uncommon. Dice is used for both the singular and the plural.”
