Metal dice piss me off.

I carry my dice in a felt dice bag with "Dragon Dice" embroidered on the foldover lid (which snaps together). My grandmother made it for me.

Why? Tears up your table?

Quote from: SP23;994931I once bought a bottle of disgusting Crown Royal Black, just to get the black dice bag.

Me too!  Still have the bag, and it also came packed in a real nice heavy box with a flip up lid that has a good magnetic clasp in it.  I turned it in to a nice dice rolling box.  Even printed a frazetta image and stuck it on top.  Looks pretty spiffy!  :D

I never even knew this was a thing until the internet said so. In nearly 40 years of gaming I've never knowingly set my eyes on a Crown Royal bag used for dice.
Growing up near Berkeley there was no shortage of handy bags for dice available from street vendors and such.

Quote from: tenbones;994933Ironically at 2AM getting out of my friend's truck in the parking lot of his apartment - he kept all our dice in his tupperware container. It slid right off the top of the pile of books I was carrying and it was like slow-motion...

NOOOOOoooooooOOOOOooooOOOOO!!!!!

The tupperware container exploded on impact - dice skittering everywhere in the dark, under everyone's cars, in oily grease-spots..... yeah. Suckage.

I'm betting he didn't have the good kind where the lids actually snap on at the edges and stay on nice and tight.

Probably he had that cheap kind where just getting the lid to seal is a pain in the neck.

Wine (red 95% of the time) and the occasional Corona or vodka. No whiskey.

Not that they actually do, but they sound like they do. And when being rolled next to painted miniatures... it makes me nervous.

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

I'm a cheap drunk who normally buys Old Crow, but yes I have done this.

They should be fucking outlawed, along with card sleeves.

I drink (and smoke cigars). Currently sampling some local whiskey called Tin Cup.

My family has a wide and extensive history of alcoholism, and seeing second-hand exactly what it can do I decided to abstain.  When I was 24 years old, I decided to give it a try.  A friend suggested Southern Comfort.  That was enough to convince me I made the right decision the first time. :eek:

No way. Sleeves make shuffling so much easier. The first thing I did when I started playing Savage Worlds was put the Adventure Deck into sleeves since I typically use a weave shuffle with anything other than a cheap poker deck.
