      I don't remember the rest of the statement after that verbaitm, but it was something like, "You bought all the dice we had made by the end of the first day last year, so we doubled our order this time...and you bought them all on the first day again." Yeah...never underestimate the dice goblins!

    My first DM gifted everyone in the party a set of dice. He explained that it's tradition that someone's first tarot deck should always be a gift, and he liked that idea, so since it was everybody's first campaign, he gifted us all our first set of dice.

      I think it's really cool your DM decided to do this, that's really nice of them!
      I just wanted to add- the tarot thing doesn't have to be that way. There are people who choose to go by this and that's fine, but a lot of people buy their own first tarot deck (including me) and that's absolutely fine as well. As someone who has read tarot for 20 + years I just feel the need to point out when I see someone mention this that it doesn't HAVE to be that way. Too many people are afraid it's disrespectful to buy their own. This is my own personal hill 😅

    "Wanna see my dice?" A classic gamer pick up liner.

    As for never having use for polyhedral dice randomly: I was out with 2 of my best mates in the city, who happened to be my DM and a party member (the other member had been on hiatus from the campaign for ages) and I had forgotten to unpack my player sheet and 3 dice sets from my bag. We got a random urge to play d&d and the boys were both disappointed when they realised we didn’t have anything to play... except that I had enough dice for everyone and my character on me, the other player had his character sheet on his phone and the DM had enemy stats on him.
    So at 10pm, at a playground in the middle of the city, we pulled out our gear and started playing!

    Good job.
    Now for the side bit that has nothing to do with dice.
    There are several companies that make Purple eyelashes. One has sparkly dots that look like glitter but are done with paint so they won't get glitter in your eyes. With that gorgeous shade of tint, in your hair, the soft lavender would be striking.

    I loved this, mostly because I collect dice myself, and when I'm not picking dice based on their daily performance (I do a roll off before almost every session), I pick them based on my character, the setting, or my current mood. Some of my favorites are:
    Crystal Caste (I have Malachite set (discontinued) and a Hybrid Translucent set in green) - love the precious stone and the crystal shape they do many sets in
    Dispel Dice (I haven't been able to score any yet) - Some of the most beautiful and well crafted dice I've ever seen or touched...trying to be patient waiting for a chance to get more

    This was really nice! As someone who's only started playing DND last year and only owns one set of dice, this was really cool to watch!
    As for that one set of dice, I *love them* very much. I bought them in at the 'Vintage Stock' store inside a real big mall in my area, the entire set is a mix of translucent sky blue and a marbley white. The mix is really wispy and leads into each other to the point that they straight up look like a cloudy sky and thus I call them my sky dice. They're really fitting for my first dice as my first DND character is a human druid who has light blue hair, loves nature, and has basically adopted our Kenku Bard who's only wish is to reach the skies. I plan on buying at least two more for the next two characters I'm already/am planning to play as. Need to find me a set that fits my Eladrin Sorcerer who's slowly turning into an ice dragon 'cause of a curse and a set that fits my half elf fighter who's the adopted son of some merchants and is only on his adventure so he can get him some independance. So basically need me some magicy-looking icy/dragon dice and some seafaring dice XD

    I love seeing all the dice! I recently started playing D&D end of last year and I have realized how much I like dice. My collection is steadily growing. Right now I’ve gotten most of the dice from CriticalRole’s store but in the future plan on picking some up from conventions and other stores online or in person.

    All your dice are so so lovely! Thank you for the calming content.

    Have played AD&D 2e since the 1980s. Still use the same set of Clear Orange dice. We always called them Gem Dice. But now that's something else. My D20 rolls a crazy amount of natural 20s. My DM tried to ban it...! They are old friends, I couldn't Adventure without them...

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I just started my collection by that I mean that I just bought 26 sets at once in a bundle for a surprisingly good deal (an average of $1.75 per set) and I love seeing others' collections! One of the sets that I got has a sorta galaxy kind of vibe, with purples, blues, and pinks all swirling together with sparkles and is my absolute favourite that I got. All of your dice are SO pretty and I seriously want more of my own even more now. Loved this video!

    I've ordered multiple dice sets from DakotaIrish on Etsy. I love the Irish Heather dice set that' has purple sparkles and flecks of gold inside. While I use a set of gold and green dice from B&N for my half-orcs, I use his Banshee glow-in-the-dark set when those are misbehaving. I also like SecretShopInDungeon dice sets. They also come in cool flasks! I bought the Hydra set from his dragon sets. While I don't think she currently has a shop, every time SoulBound Dice on twitter posts pictures of what she makes, I really wish she did.

    Like Ginny Di, I had a large collection of dice, but, the old saying goes like this. "Don't put all your pearls in one place". On the after noon of Sep 8, 2020 a fire swept down the middle of the valley i live in and took my home and car. I walked out literally with only the clothes on my back. I had a lot of old dice not found and now it's all gone. My advice is keep things in several places.

    I’m sure this comment section is abandoned, but I’ll try and ask. Do you prefer metal or resin dies? I can’t pick all the resin dies look super cool and metal ones just look epic most of the time. Figured I’d ask for your personal pro and cons from each type.

    • @GinnyDi
      @GinnyDi  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You’re in luck, happened to see this when checking my analytics! It’s totally personal preference - some people prefer lighter weight dice because they roll more times once they land on the surface, whereas others prefer metal because of the weight and the solidity of the roll. Metal dice tend to “plonk” and don’t get much distance when they roll. If you have a friend who owns any or a local gaming store that would let you, you should try ‘em out and see which camp you fall into!

      I started gaming in the mid 90's, and while you could buy dice in sets then most people, at least that I knew, bought them piece meal from a bucket at the counter. Basically the only people who bought sets of dice were people who played D&D.

      @@chrishandy9172 I started gaming in the late 80s in a very large farm town. When I asked the bookstore (where I bought my first gaming book) where I could get dice, they gave me a business card for a fellow who lived on a farm, collected dice, and had a small barn (large shack?) which contained several dice-buying options. I bought a set of amethyst dice that came in a blister pack with a small velveteen bag. To this day, that was the strangest purchase experience I have ever had.

    @krystalskye949 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been collecting dice since 1994. I also keep a set of dice for every character I have played, and I have separate dice for when I DM. While I have a large collection of sets of dice, I don't have any of the custom dice from Etsy or such. Yet. I have the "normal" size rainbow metal dice like the minis you showed....and I now MUST acquire a set of those minis. I even have a set of 4 D6s that are Barbie Doll size (I used to use those primarily for character creation). They are so tiny though, and easy to lose, so now they mainly sit unused, except when I show them to people who've not seen such tiny dice before. I loved your video, and I do think I also have the teal frosted Chessex set (I have SO MANY sets of Teal-Coloured dice, as Teal and Violet are my favourite colours).

    Thanks for sharing! I cut myself off at about 8 sets because I couldn't find any more colors that went with my "Elemental/Druid" Theme (lots of blues, greens, browns, blacks, and other metallic/mineral-like colors, pretty much all from Chessex.)
    I also have the copper "Easy Roller Dice" set which I believe they rebranded for Critical Role with a unique D20. It's great when I'm traveling or only want to use a single set (though it does tend to skew lower on rolls.) I actually got it from Dog Might Games as a free gift when they mistakenly sent me two of the same Dice Box. Not a bad exchange for return shipping!
    As a collector, I'm happy to hear you got such a cool set while it was still available!

    I can relate to the dice obsession. I tend to use my older dice because of all the history. One or two sets came in D&D starter boxes & would be familiar to many. My most heavily used sets are blue and brown -- and have glitter inside! Then, there's my translucent dice that I rarely use because they are too pretty to use.

Being a fellow dice-nut, i usually gift myself the chessex pound o' dice every christmas, i really like seeing what dice other gamers collect. I have several that are near and dear; the Golden BB, the Eternity Shard and Skippy, do NOT anger Skippy and do NOT attempt to jinx Skippy. The last time it was attempted (3 weeks ago) it retaliated with 3 Nat 20s. Had i not personally witnessed the spectacle i would not have believed it either.
