Here's one, fresh made.

It's the new dice set my wife just got. The D20 decided to get uppity. On here she's Sha'uri.

I'm so sad that my group and I have never done that! Well, that new tradition begins this Thursday!

I discipline my dice by putting the poorly-performing ones in the freezer overnight. So they can think about what they've done.

[Zahhak]

I don't know if that's hilarious or mean. Maybe both.

Oh, mind if I make that a demotivator? I owe tax

Go ahead, I don't mind.
I should try to come up with a demotivator too, I owe a lot of tax...

[Noedig]

Freezing them seems rather lenient. We torch habitual failures in my group.

[Zahhak]

Can I get you to quote Admiral Squish and then let me use that to make another demotivator?

[Sha'uri]

I just don't know why I didn't think to make the dunce cap sooner. What really sucks is that I seriously just bought that set of pink/black dice and two days later the d20 was already giving me horrible rolls

[Ryu_Bonkosi]

I discipline my dice by putting the poorly-performing ones in the freezer overnight. So they can think about what they've done.

In a similar vein, I once had a d20 that rolled nothing above a 9. One night, after about twenty minutes of absently rolling it, I looked at it and said, "I will give you one more roll, if it isn't above a ten I am throwing you away." It came up as a 1. I stood up, grabbed a ceramic bowl and some rubbing alcohol, put the d20 and some alcohol in the bowl, put the rest of my dice in a circle around the bowl, and lit the d20 on fire. After it melted, I picked up its charred remains and held it aloft so the rest of my dice could see what happens when you displease me. For the rest of the night they all rolled above half.

Dice may be inanimate objects, but they do know fear.

The freezer? Psh. I use the microwave.

[The Rose Dragon]

The freezer? Psh. I use the microwave.

So the good news is if you put the die with the 1 facing down (d10s are complicated, since whether the highest outcome is 10 or 9 changes based on the system) and flash-heat it in the microwave, most plastic dies have just enough of their weight shifted downwards that they are more likely to come up as the highest number on the die. But woe betide you if you use such a die in a low-roll system like GURPS.

Wait, people actually play GURPS?

That's why one should have different sets of dice for different systems.

Most of the Chaosium systems work for that too, and I know at least some people play RuneQuest and CoC.

[Admiral Squish]

Hmmm...

*scribbles notes*
Exactly how long would you say is long enough to deform one's dice properly?

You're the Stalin of dice!

[Eldan]

Nah. I had a friend who's the real Stalin of dice. He threw his dice out into the snow and then acted as if nothing ever happened.

If I had the necessary materials, the miscreant D20 might reconsider crit. failing me when I give it a bath...(wait for it)....... OF DRY ICE! *lightning flashes in background, someone kicks a puppy, a baby cries, M. Night Shamalayan writes another Avatar movie, Etc.

[Eldan]

We once melted a die in the physics lab. With a laser.

[Arkhosia]

Now i want a railgun (yes they built one) for diceimation.
Come on, who hasn't wanted to obliterate something by sending a piece of metal going Mach 3 through it?

[Ryu_Bonkosi]

Haha, this is good. Can I sig this?

Hm. I know at least one person who uses metallic dice. You could fire them from the railgun.

I have those! I love them~! They are in my tiny dice bag with the straight pink pearlescents.


Also, y'all are mean!
I scribbled a thaumaturgical diagram in colored inks on a board and recharge my failing dice with positive energies.

[Beowulf DW]

Haha, this is good. Can I sig this?

Go ahead, if you're that proud of it. I'm a little freaked out, to be honest.

The problem is you would need a d2 to find out which dice will live. What if those fail you?

Easy! Threaten to blow it up too if it doesn't land well. They're right: dice know fear.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Please. Real men (or real rocket scientists, at least) play HERO.

[The Rose Dragon]

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to play Hero.

I mean, it helps, but strictly speaking, it isn't necessary.

[OctoberRaven]

HERO (or at least HERO FRED) had a chargen program that did all the maths for you.

I miss playing HERO. Had some great moments. Including playing a wisecracking ex-Wu Xia actor turned hero who eventually got nuked by Doc Destroyer himself.

And since your argument is invalid, you should stop it and make more posters.

(It's RPG related, you know your PCs would use them if they could.)

Psh. That's a slingshot. The power would come from a stretching string.

It's also totally unoptimized.
