I like a matched set. I currently have an opalescent pink rainbow set (Chessex Carnival) and an opalescent pale blue and pink set.

Yup. I have girl dice.

I confess, I'm into Dice Porn. :deflated:

When I returned to tabletop gaming after a looooooong hiatus, I brought a set of blue/black swirly pattern D6s (Oblivion blue from EM Miniatures for my fellow perverts) and later got some D10s & D20s to match.

I'm after a set of Chessex purple&grey, but havent been able to find them in the UK.

I like matching sets.  But I don't think I actually own any.  

I have a fairly ecclectic collection made up of a couple of sets that were originally complete but now having missing dice, random dice I seem to have accidently acquired from other gamers, stuff I've pulled out of bargain bins, stuff I've pulled out of boxed sets, and a few dice I bought from a teacher's supply depot (which was the only place to get dice when I first started gaming).

I don't think I've actually bought any dice for more than 10 years now... other than a set of Fudge dice.

I only get my dice in sets these days. I don't quite have the obsession to go in for Gamescience, though. My big sack of Chessex dusty opaques with metallic inks (got 'em all!) with monochrome opaques and a couple translucent sets in the fiancee's colors seems to roll randomly enough. Haven't had a chance to test out my Crystal Caste barrel dice or my Q Workshop Lich Rubies yet, but they feel right.

I really, really love dice. Seriously.

I go with my black dice set. But for Qin I bought another white set. And I like it that way. Black and white.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my inner dice geek has been woken up and fed coffee over the last few years. I used to have about twenty dice; now I have about two hundred. I buy in colours that complement each other, but not usually matching sets.

I like matching sets.  It makes it a lot easier to drop in an odd-colored die when you have a "wild die" or something to that effect.  

I also strongly prefer dark dice with white letters/pips.  VtM candlelight gaming back in the day broke me of anything else.

Opaque Gamescience, as these pictures of my dice supply illustrate:







Also, d6s with pips ONLY.

Oh, THOSE are Gamescience dice? I was aware of their existence, but didn't care about claims of "true randomosity!" (like I'd notice) so never really looked into them. We had a couple in the communal dice bag, way back when. Couldn't stand 'em. The sharp edges made them bounce too much.


EDIT:....this "I don't roll Gamescience" thing is going to render me just a touch more outcast around here, isn't it?

I have no preferences, als long as I don't get pink dice or dice with turquoise numbers on green ground. (Not that I wouldn't have enough of them - "a hand full of dice for 5€"-offers and "damn, I've forgotten my d12 for this convention, sell me _any_ you've left"-emergencies can lead to disturbingly bizarre dice in your bag.)

Well, I generally like my dice either opaque or transparent.   I had a HUGE lot of d20s that my mom got me for christmas one year (I asked for "lots of different polyhedral dice, ask at the game store I go to." and ended up with all 20s, go fig.) that were all those funky ones with the glitter in them.  NONE of them were freaking readable. AT ALL. Okay, maybe one or two, but these were all freakishly wrong-looking dice here. It's like my local game store saw a square come in and ask for lots of dice and figured that they could unload ALL their bad stock on them.  :mad:    :boom:    :banghead: :rant:

Incidentally, this was Lone Star Comics in Plano, Texas.  Avoid them at all costs, and burn them the fuck down. They SUCK.

Anywho, back to my huge lot of D20s, I took them all, rolled them all three times, and those that refused to roll me 20s got used for slingshot ammo.  Those that did roll twenties, were suprisingly enough, the most legible ones of the lot...

As for what I *like*, my favorite was this transparant amber-colored D20 with white lettering that I got at the last WotC store in my area before they closed.  It was a good size, easily readable, and was just a really good die.  Generally, though, I prefer white lettering on red backgrounds for my polys, though my favorite WoD set was the one that came out for Demon. Blue on a dark grey background is NIFTY and easy on the eyes, BTW.

Also, I've got a set of hematite ones from Chessex. they're tiny and not easy to read, but they have a wonderful heft to them and they were a gift from my best friend, so I luvs 'em anyways.

You are dead to me.

You could join the FORGE while you are at it, too...

...and I'm going to go play with them now.

I like my orange d30.
