This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Metal dice question

If one puts metal dice, even ones with rounded edges, in a case with plastic dice will it scratch them all up? I was wondering. I never plan to get metal dice, but you never know, I might have a few extra bucks, be in a game store and be hit by a weak moment....

My giant metal d20 with which one could kill a man with a single blow sits happily at the base of my dice pot, nestled amonst its plastic minions, keeping them safe and never thinking to scratch its loyal underlings.

Everyone I know who has a set of metal dice keeps them in a separate bag.

I'm one of those.  I've got a ful size set of brushed steel dice (I use them for C&C, mostly) and I keep them in the faux leather bag they came in.

I keep my GameScience pewter percentile "tablewreckers" in the small plastic bag they came in.  I haven't had any problems, but you never know.

I keep couple metal ones I have separate but for the sake of tables not dice.  Come to thing of it I've never used my metal dice. They were gifts and seem insanely impractical unless you have some sort of hard tray.  I have an antique wood table and hardwood floors. I don't even roll onto of Battlemats.

Yeah that sounds a bit wierd for having a pile of kids. But I figure I don't need to add to the damage. I've never taken them to someone else's house either.
