Thursday Thirteen #14

June 14, 2007 12:02 am

Thirteen types of dice Mark has collected in ninteen years of table top gaming…

Solid four, six, eight, ten, twelve and twenty sided dice.
Gem plastic dice.
Large Dice (regular red six sided dice for comparison).
Small and tiny dice including glitter dice.
Wooden alphabet dice.
Emotion dice.
Novelty spherical dice numbered one to six.
A 2 side die (otherwise known as an old 10p coin before they went small and unsatisfying to flip).
A thirty sided die that glows in the dark and has numbers you have to fill in with crayon to read. This is the die with the single largest range of numbers I own although you can get them numbered 1 to 100.
Two averaging dice numbered 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 and 5. I also have some extreem dice numbered 1,1, 2, 4, 6 and 6 (not pictured because they are black and don’t show up well on photographs)
Silver and gold metalic effect dice.
A direction die N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW.
Lots of simple, old fashioned, six sided dice in white plastic.

Who knew there were so many types of dice? Can you actually use the round ones?

Dewey on June 14th, 2007 at 12:36 am

I’ve got a number of those, guess I must be a game nerd too!

Thanks for sharing

I love the round die! Those are really cool.

Christine on June 14th, 2007 at 12:59 am

The dice featured in #7 are pretty cool. I actually have a few of the others because I’m a board game fanatic.

You brought back some fond D&D memories. Happy T13.

Wow! That’s a whole lotta dice! I have a very lovely scar on my forehead from one of the many sided ones. (It was a scattergories dice and it had letters on it…still hurt just the same though!) Have a great weekend!

Shannon on June 14th, 2007 at 2:32 am

LOL! What a great idea for a TT. I recognized many of those types of dice from when I played role-playing games in college.

Happy TT to you!

Thomma Lyn on June 14th, 2007 at 2:34 am

happy T13

Kewl pictures/dice!

Who knew? What a great collection. I recognize the multi-sided from playing Dungeons and Dragons back in highschool.

Wylie Kinson on June 14th, 2007 at 4:42 am

Loved the wooden alphabet and emotion dice. Didn’t know there were so many different versions out there.

Christine (XINE) on June 14th, 2007 at 5:46 am

Yes, but do you have any loaded die? (using the plural; it just looks wrong, though, eh?)

“loaded” meaning usually weighted to favour the 6?

Miscellaneous-Mum on June 14th, 2007 at 11:00 am

I never even knew there were so many, the round ones look cool, but I’m guessing they aren’t so practical

Fence on June 14th, 2007 at 11:37 am

They look like gumdrops. Now I am hungry! Fun list =)

Starrlight on June 14th, 2007 at 2:16 pm

What a collection! Hmmm, I think I still have some of the old 10p’s hanging around – heavy and feels like money unlike the new which belongs in a Monopoly game.

Tilly Greene on June 14th, 2007 at 2:44 pm

I love them! My collection has frittered away – da*n kids keep running off with them.hkw

Ember Case on June 14th, 2007 at 5:56 pm

Ohhh I love the metal ones!!! We’ve got a 100 sided one. It keeps rolling and rolling but eventually it gives you a number My favorite is my ten sided glow in the dark die. Someday I will find a full d20 set in pink though! Sparkley would be ideal!
