urchin Woah, they look fantastic! ♥ The translucent ones remind me of quartz crystal. Didn't find any ACE-dice, but there are translucent rainbow dice on ETSY. It's really cool that you still have your first dice. And it's an amazing one, very unique colors. And the mini-dice look like ocean-waves, so pretty! I would stack them around all the time too! @brave Sir Robin OMG, real amber-dice! \(♥O ♥)/ This is incredible! And they're even better with how and when you got them! Hehe, and they fit so well for fiery bronze-dragon spells as well! Black-green is a beautiful color combination. Pfffft, it sounds as if Ben-annoying is a generally popular sport. XD

I bought them at the top of a massive sand dune/hill that overlooked the border between Lithuania and Russia (Kalingrad). I was on a cycle tour holiday that was really lovely, and sort of emotionally marked the end of a really tough period in my life, so using them always makes me happy. I save them especially for damage rolls when Hamid casts a fiery spell. That's a great dice origin story. It's really nice to have a token of a pivotal time like that, especially one that's a little bit practical so you revisit it more often. If objects can have power, surely this is how they get it. I like those black and green ones! Perfect for Lovecraftian games I tend to switch dice pretty often during a game though. Especially when some of my dice have been bad and I get to annoy Ben. I'm endlessly amused by how often otherwise very rational people believe in dice luck. My friends exile dice to "dice jail" when they roll badly. I don't believe in all that... except I don't roll my glittery d20s ever because they seriously hate me.

Ooo I like how those colors fade together so nicely! That first d20 I used to wear as a pendant in a little leather pouch with a dragon embossed on it when I was 12 or 13. It was the height of cool. No one else seemed to think so, though. XD

XD Wrong audience back then! That is totally awesome! ♥ There are DIY pendants (bead-cages) that would look fantastic with a d20 in them as well. If one were willing to not use a pretty dice for rolling for a while (they could easily be taken out again, so it doesn't have to be permanent).

But I just do it anyway, cos why risk it?

So these are my favourite D6s: These made me search for gemstone dice and I immediately found way too much! Why? Why do I always search for this stuff when I know they're too expensive right now?! Hoarding problems 101, that's why. So pretty, though... *deep sigh*
