Title: The Crown Royal Dice Bag
Post by: jeff37923 on September 22, 2017, 03:10:04 AM
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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

I've always had Crown Royal bags for my dice. Oddly, I don't remember drinking any though.

If I could fit dice in Patron bottles, I'd use those instead!

It was hysterical in high school when teachers saw we all had Crown Royal bags or Skoal containers for dice.

I've had a CR dice bag since high school. Which means it's older than more than a few posters here. To my knowledge I've never drank any CR though I've drunk a lot of other things including way too much peppermint schnapps in a bar in Uppsala. Now my wife uses the CR bag for her dice while I use a heavy green plastic snap closed box. I use a heavy rubber band as backup to avoid any unfortunate parking lot incidents.

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 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

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.

I've used Crown Royal bags in the past, and various tins, and a few other bags. With my current gaming all being Google hangouts or play by post, I have a bowl of dice on my desk (the bowl having come from a Burgerville kids meal). I have some dice in tea tins, and other in tins from the Mega Bloks Dragons line from the 90s (I think I actually bought the sets for the tins... nice fantasy themed tins). I also have some dice in a nice zipper pouch that came with a backpack (it had snaps to attach inside the backpack, the backpack is long gone, but the bag still survives, it's my travelling dice bag, large enough to hold some mechanical pencils also.

Sadly, many years ago I lost my favorite dice tray when my briefcase was stolen during a games club meeting. The tray was a cigar tray, about 5"x8" with a balsa bottom and a sturdier wood frame. I've tried various things as replacements but found nothing I like.

Nope. I use a pipe pouch.

The size of pipes I typically use, a pipe bag is large enough to fit two sets of standard dice.  The quality of pipes I use mean that I have lots of pipe bags made of real leather with drawstrings.

Don't know how to feel about that. It was his decision after all. I just quit this year after they sliced some abnormal cells off the bottom of my mouth. False alarm, but decided I didn't need to put up with the monitoring every 3 months. It was easier than giving up drinking, which feels unfair because I still liked smoking, and by the time I dropped booze I hated it.
Hopefully Pundy has more smoking-tolerant genes than I do.

Nah, Crown isn't really good. Then again, that describes almost all Canadian Whiskeys.

I've got one like that - the Chessex guys were here for GenghisCon... last year... and they were selling them, although my impression was that someone in Chessex (or their wife) were making them and selling them at the booth.

Probably not exactly so, since that appears to be a handmade.

Out of curiosity, how did you determine that? It looks like a machine made mark on the side (that I can't read), and that's all the writing I see.

Regardless, it's not like I have my original any more to compare. So yes, I had what in my mind/memory looked exactly like that.

Its a classic shape that is somewhat common with little variations. Since the one in the pic is wood then it probably was hand made. Since it has what looks like a company stamp on the side, R??Y, its either a company logo or a personal one

Have a look at this video for an example.

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.
Yeah that sucks.
Quote from: tenbones;994935am 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.
No you are not though I Never used A CR bag I would have gotten one given free but I did want to use it being 15 at the time and liveing in A town where the cops are ass holes I didn't want to put up with the crap.
As to sets I only have 1 full set as all my dice came from A chesex pound O' dice so they are all orphans save that 1 set.

Quote from: Spinachcat;995063I've always had Crown Royal bags for my dice. Oddly, I don't remember drinking any though.

If I could fit dice in Patron bottles, I'd use those instead!

It was hysterical in high school when teachers saw we all had Crown Royal bags or Skoal containers for dice.
I love it.
Quote from: Voros;995351Didn't know this was possible. Maybe CR is a Canadian thing.
It's not Wisconsin drinks it's good share.
Quote from: Spike;995512I 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.

yeah, I had an epiphany about two in the morning that I'd answered the wrong question... much too late to do anything about it, but since I'm not seeing any cute green bottles on the bottom shelf (of what?), I have a good excuse.

The mark on the side is probably the only thing that's machine made, which is just the mark of the brand. You don't usually see curves like that on a machine-made model. Most high-end pipes are hand-made. Which is different than saying "hand carved", which would be if no machinery at all were used.

I went to Canada once.  I almost decided to conquer it (seemed doable), but then I'd have to figure out what to do with it, and you know... I've already got too many hobbies as it is. Warlord of Canada just seemed something I should have done when I was younger, so I let it go.

I had a sweet design for a throne in mind. Not practical mind you, but these things never are. Its sort of the point.

I don't know about the West Coast, but having worked in rural/small town Ohio and Indiana I can say that they're pretty darn close to rural Ontario.
