Showing off my dice collection

I want to show off my TTRPG dice collection!
Top row, left to right:
- Tiye's dice. My first D&D dice set! In a leather bag I made myself as a kid in the natural museum, cutting with a sharp stone and all. I played 104 sessions of a (completed) D&D 3.5 campaign with these, from mid-2016 to mid-2018. Actually I didn't: I wrote that, then I read back through my D&D tag and discovered that I only bought them over a year after that campaign started ^^ The numbers used to be in gold but I kept holding the dice in my hand and playing with them until the color wore off.
- my first-time DM dice. I ran a 20+ session campaign and I ordered myself new dice for that.
- my one-shot dice. My first dice order got lost in the mail and as an apology the store added these, and I think a random set like this is perfect for one-shots.
Bottom row, left to right:
- Reya's dice. The dice for my second long D&D campaign that lasted 53 sessions and sadly remains unfinished due to COVID.
- These dice were a table gift from L&M's wedding, and DD made the bag for them. I haven't used them yet.
- These dice and the bag were a birthday gift this year from my current TTRPG DM, given at my first birthday party in many years. Not used yet either.
On the side:
- Kian's dice. The dice for my current TTRPG, Die Schwarze Katze: 2 D20s and 2 D6s. I ordered the official dice set, so the 1s are cat eyes (lower is good in this system), but sadly the D6s land on the sides so often that I had to change them out. Now I use skull dice I got at the Paris catacombs.
I love all of them, and in hindsight I'm glad I managed to resist the frequent urges to buy some new set of pretty dice I saw because now they all have a little history connected to them. (Though I'm not ruling out that I might give in to temptation one day... there are so many so pretty dice out there.)

Date: 2023-09-24 08:56 pm (UTC)I almost certainly won't use Tiye's dice again for another campaign. I'm not sure if I would use my first-time DM dice again if I DM a one-shot... I also probably won't use Reya's dice again, though I'm sad about that because I would have liked to use them more and they're still looking so good.
I would like to use the wedding dice for a fire-themed character, and the dragon dice for an adventure that has dragons. The next campaign we play after DSK might be space-themed, I'll have to decide in that case if I use one of them or get a new set.
