OK, so I saw this on Facebook and I was wondering, how many of you buy Crown Royal just to get a new dice bag?

I can't afford the size bottle of CR it would take to get a bag to hold all my dice!  But I love this meme.

I've done this. Come to think of it, we have a Crown bag waiting for the bottle to be drained right now.

13 years sober, and I carry a minimalist collection of dice (current homebrew system uses ~6-20 D6 and percentile dice, so that's what I have with me for D&D it's one of those sets that give you 1 of each, plus a second d10 for %, and 4 six-siders for stat rolls).

I do know people who also don't drink (my main DM and fellow designer has an alcohol allergy) who have bought CR and given it to someone else, specifically because they want an icon CR dice bag.

Just as a PSA, you know you can buy just the bags, and even get custom embroidery on them?

I 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.

I very seldom drink but I have a friend who goes through a bottle of CR every few months and gives me the bags.
Our GM's wife knitted us all dice bags last year though, so I feel like I'd best not be showing up with some other flouncy bag. The CR bags hold overflow dice, scrabble pieces, war game chits, etc.

Using that site the bag costs $9.95 + &0.92 tax + $7.61 shipping for a total of $18.48. I could get a full bottle and a free dice bag for that price locally.

My local game pub carries just the bags. I got one because yes, back in the early 80's, one of my gamer friends had a CR dice bag.
I don't drink often enough to justify buying the booze just for the bag.

Eh, I usually just pack dice in a small Tupperware-type container. The lid keeps the dice from getting loose better than a bag and the container can double as a dice cup for rolling.

Yep.  That's what I've done, since I don't drink.

I don't drink.  I'd love to have one.  But meh.

Fun 'fact', locally, CR is thought of as an Old Man's Drink.  As it's usually found in the collection of older gentlemen's wine cellar.

I once bought a bottle of disgusting Crown Royal Black, just to get the black dice bag.

Ironically 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.

am I the only one that drinks on this thread? I use a proper dice-bag with a single set of metal dice now. I keep a big cigar-box full of my favorite sets. I keep a dice-jar for a graveyard of broken sets.

I don't drink Crown. I do Makers and/or Jack.
