Let's talk about DICE!

[dph]

My core set are small (10mm), squarish, dotted die, red with a black (of the same design) Wild die.

NO idea where or when I got them but have always used them... I feel like they're hot (with what feels like generally high results), but mathematically probably perfectly average!

I use a D12 for scatter and Hit location.

My hit location die use to use my own 1-12 hit location key (based on the official one) but I found a die with written locations in exactly the same formula so now use those!

I purchased my dice from The Dice Shop Online. The first set of dice I got from them was intended to be my Star Wars D6 dice:
5 Chessex Translucent Yellow and White D6s,
5 Chessex Translucent Green and White D6s,
5 Chessex Translucent Red and White D6s,
5 Chessex Translucent Teal and White D6s,
5 Chessex Frosted Caribbean Blue and White D6s,
5 Chessex Velvet Black and Red D6s,
and a Chessex Opaque White and Black D6 to serve as my Wild Die.

When I started playing Pathfinder last year, I realized that I needed a polyset of D4s, D6s, D8s, D10s, D12s and D20s, so I got one set each of a different "Bright Gem " color: Emerald, Sapphire, Citrine, Amethyst, Ruby and Fire Opal. I call them my "Infinity Stone" dice for the obvious reasons.

I've bought my first DnD dice set from a game store, but subsequently I've bought all my dice cheap online at AliExpress.

Quality-wise, if you pick some seller/product that seems to have sold lots of dice and have good reviews, you can generally trust them to have good quality. As it's a chinese webshop, it's a long shipping time, but on the other hand many sets don't have shipping fees either, so if you're willing to wait 15-60 days for them, it's worthwhile.

I've purchased a good bunch of dice, dice sets & pouches so far, and the quality for them is great for the averagely priced set, and worthwhile even for the absolutely cheapest ones. Also bought gaming tokens,

Few of my recent purchase:
--------Item ----------------Total Price----------------Notes
* Lot of 25 d6 dice ----------- $3.11 ------ Bought the set with several colors, so I can have variety
* Lot of 20 card holders ----- $6.25 ------ I've used this as stands for paper tokens
* Dice Pouch-------------------$0.86------- Dirty cheap dice bags, if you buy both dice and pouches in bulk, you could for dirty cheap have several sets ready to hand out to new players who might not own their own dice.
* Invisible Ink Pens------------$0.65-------Bought a bunch of them so I'd have backups and extras to hand out to other GMs


Oh and I've also bought blank D6s, with the intention of using them as custom dice for different things. You could use red & green markers for fumble & crit on a Wild die, and use black marker for the rest of the numbers. You could also create a set of Non-transitive Dice for some real outliners. Or use them as wound level tracker by pointing up the current wound level.

For my family game of SW 1st ed, I decided on 'theme' dice.
As GM, I use 16mm opaque, round edged, red dice with black pips. Red for sith lightsabers, black for the dark side of the force.

Players use 16mm opaque, round edged, blue dice with white pips. Blue for jedi lightsabers (Ep. IV) and white for the light side of the force.
