I keep wanting to buy fancy dice... I have owned and lost piles and piles of random dice, and still occasionally find bricks of largely untouched d6's when I go through boxes...
But for some reason the assholes who sell dice these days in sets only ever offer a single D6 in a set of dice. Who does that? Well, I mean, everyone obviously, that's my fucking problem.
Once upon a time if you bought a set of dice it almost always, with near unto mathematical certainty, came with three d6. Now, the exact number (three) is unimportant, what is important is that it is more than one. I have four book shelve and four milk crates full of games, and more shit in packing boxes or lost to the aether, and I can count, on the contents of my shorts, the number of games that reliably ask you to ever role a SINGLE FUCKING D6.
Why the fuck would I spend thirty god damn dollars on a set of beautiful metal or carved stone dice that are functionally useless if the game ever (and again, with near mathematical certainty, it will) ask me to roll even TWO fucking d6's at the same time? Never mind three or more.
To sum up: If your random dice set will not allow me to even play a simple game of Traveller, as an example, without having to re-roll the same dice or (Shudders in mock OCD horror) mix dice from two different sets/materials, then how can I justify paying for it?
They could at least have the motherfucking common decency to sell individual d6's, or sets of additional D6s to go with their fancy pants sets on the goddamn side.
This makes me glad that Xipe Totec is now on the officially approved list of Gods worshipped in California, as no one will blink twice when I begin flaying dice manufactures and rubbing d4's in all their exposed nerve endings.
