This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The Crown Royal Dice Bag

My first ever dice bag was a CR bag... I was ten.  So... major delinquency problem or someone gave it to me... dunno which.  

Kidding. I've never tried CR. I'm a big scotch drinker, when I"m not looking for hard ciders to try.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

What kinds? My fav is Laphroaig, but just about any Islay, West Highland, or Skye whisky is superb.

One kickstarter I backed actually had a reward level where they sent you a Crown Royal bag for a dicebag, which was cute.

I got some Laphroaig earlier this year that was bad. Toxic bad. Replaced the bottle, same deal, so it seems they put out a bad batch recently, which makes me sad.

I've had great luck with Monkey Shoulder, and I replaced the Laphoaig with Craigellachie that is pretty good, but I'm liking the Monkey Shoulder better... and it's cheaper!   I'm still exploring scotches, so my experience isn't that great... I used to drink either Vodka or Tequila almost exclusively, and I had a distaste for bourbon dating way, way back.

I got a small wooden box for dice originally.  Now I keep my "gaming dice" in a Walkers' Shortbread tin.  Yum!

I don't drink much hard liquor; I'm a beer man myself.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

Quote from: Voros;995351Didn't know this was possible. Maybe CR is a Canadian thing.

Heck, I'd never even heard of the brand until this thread. Must be an online Canadian RPG need thing.

I didn't realise that this was a thing outside of Toronto, as back in the 80's everyone who could, got one of these for their dice. All of my players back then had one. In fact I'm pretty I've still got one somewhere. You learn something new every day!
I currently use an old plastic Philadelphia Cream Cheese container for my dice these days as I stopped drinking Crown when I got out of the army. That, CC, and rum were our drinks of choice back then. These days it's mostly wine, and scotch (sm, preferably an Islay, currently drinking McClelland's), or bourbon (currently enjoying Woodford Reserve) when I want a harder drink. In fact, I've got a fresh bottle of Woodford ready for our monthly game next week.
Need a wee dram, or three, of the fine amber stuff when doing all that DMing thing.:D

For a long time I kept my dice in one of those Chessex dice tubes. Then it broke and now I keep them in a little screwtop container.

Also have a bunch of those TSR Dragon Dice bags. Not bad bags either.

I've got a number of shortbread cookie and tea tins that I keep dice in, too. Seems like I get them as gifts every year, so I re-purpose the tins.

I've never had a Crown Royal dice bag. Just a variety of cheap-o dice bags over the decades.

One player uses their dice tower as their dice container too as it folds up. Cant find an example pic.

That's a good idea.  I've got one or two fold-up Zombicide dice towers that would be a good fit for that.

I love Laphroaig. My wife usually likes smelling my single malts, but she hates the smell of Laphroaig. LOL

Quote from: flyingmice;994847I don't have a dice fetish. They go in plastic zip-lock sandwich bags, categorized by type. When I need some, I reach in and grab a handful.

Thanks, Sheldon.

Quote from: jeff37923;994973Normally I go for Southern Comfort, Eagle Rare, and Bulleit Rye Whiskey. Then again, I don't drink nearly as much as I used to.

Can't go wrong with Comfort. I'm not a whiskey snob (unlike coffee) - but I have had whiskey I didn't care much for. But none that I wouldn't drink. Heh

There are some really good bottom shelf bourbons out there. If you get the chance, give Benchmark #8 a taste, it ain't bad for a cheap one.
