How many dice do you have?

[With a box]

Let's say you get disintergrated
It's 35D6 and you probably don't roll 35 dice at once.
And
How many dice you roll physically at once?

[Kol Korran]

Shadowrun players can roll 15-20 d6s at a roll. we have a computerized roller for larger rolls.

[Jormengand]

I have a cube which has 25 dice in (actually 27, but 2 are special dice) so I would probably roll 25+10 or 17+18.

[Darrin]

35. (I have a lot of dice. I suspect I am not the only one.)

If my character normally doesn't roll 35d6, then I'd likely grab my dice cup (which is usually full of various d6, count out 10, and roll three sets of 10, and one set of 5.

If my character regularly rolls 35d6, then I'd get a Shadowrun Cube from Chessex (36d6), remove 1d6, and then dump out the cube (inevitably remarking that, if we were really playing Shadowrun, that this still wasn't enough d6's.)

[ahenobarbi]

24: 10 d10 (I play World of Darkness and rolling 10ish d10 is usual there), 6 d6 (for rolling damage in d&d), 3 d3 (I don't really know why: I remember buyin 2 (in a set) but I lost one of them), 2 d20 (from sets), 2 d 12 (from sets), 1 d8 (again weird - there should be 2 from sets but I lost both of them).

I roll something lik 8d10 reguluarily, a few times I rolled 10d10 and had to roll a few of the dice.

[HammeredWharf]

My group'd DM usually has a PC for dice rolls like that, among other things. Additionally, I sometimes use average damage to speed things up, because combat in D&D is slow even without huge dice pools and the law of large numbers already comes into play to some extent when you've got something like 40d6.

[Bullet06320]

I have a bread box full of dice, probly weighs 25pounds including the dice, 2-3k, not really sure
everytime I'm at the game shop, I buy dice, I'm kinda ocd about that, fearing I will not have enuf of the right dice or something like that, lol

[hymer]

How many dices you roll physically at once?

I'd probably be rolling five dice seven times if I roll 35d6 physically. More than that and they start piling up when you lift the shaker.

[Khedrac]

35.

I bought a box of 36 D6 to have matching ones and found (eventually) one has two 3s and no 2...

Below 10D6 I don't even get out that box...

Incidentally the plural is "dice".
The singular can be either "die" or "dice".

[Brookshw]

No idea, 80-100 probably.

Lots of times we'll just multiply for simplicity if we need something like 40d6.

[sideswipe]

i used to play warhammer, playing skaven with all sorts of frenzy and extra attack shenanigans so i have about 200 d6. i normally carry at least 10-16 when i game. if i made a high level character with the ability to use that amount i would carry that amount + about 5 more.

so i would roll 35. its so satisfying

[Riculf]

One of our group recently purchased 10lb of assorted dice (more money than sense). There are about 1,500, all told. If it came to it we'd roll 35d6 (or more if necessary), just because :smallsmile:

[danzibr]

I have tons of dice, but never use them. I use my iPhone now.

[lytokk]

in the case of 35d6, I would probably just roll 5d6 7 times. Usually I only keep 2-3 d20s, 2 d10s, 1 d12, 5 d8s, 5 d6 and maybe 2 d4s. Pretty much what I have in my personal dice bag for any game, and the rest of the dice can be used as markers on the battlemat, or if someone forgot theirs.

[supermonkeyjoe]

If anyone is ever rolling 20+ dice I always let them take average it's so much quicker and not likely to make much difference in the long run

[Talya]

I used to play West End's D6 star wars when I was a kid. So...if I could find them, I likely have a three dozen d6's or so.

[Malak'ai]

Nowhere near enough! I lost around about 50d6 quite a few years ago and never got round to replacing them.

Currently I have 3 full sets of polyhedrals, but I haven't bothered buying any more for years.

[torrasque666]

Since I use roll20 for most for my gaming its a bit different and sometimes the 3d dice can crash the system. But I have had the opportunity to roll 6 d20s, about 60 d6s(our dm quickly learned afterwards, don't make a weapon that STARTS with 4d6 and then give it to the guy who's focused on getting bigger[Using ppowerful build, get medium weapon, drop it, augment reduce down to tiny, grab it, end effect to rise back to medium and increase the weapon to huge, then augment expansion to increase to huge yourself busting it up to colossal, then polymorph into large creature. boom. blasted that damage up 4 sizes and if i remember correctly the advice is add 2d6 for each size increase above it if there is no suggested increase in the DMG/whatever it has that info it]. We played a lot of things by ear.)

[Doc_Maynot]

All 35, I have a box of about 50d6, and 3 sets of dice for use with d20 games (d20, d%, d12, d10, d8, 3d6, d4)
I have these due to me being my local group's DM and way too many people forget their dice, so I've bought community dice for them to share.

[Mcdt2]

Let's see...

2d3, 6d4, 40d6, 4d8, 10d10(5 percentile sets), 2d12 (pathetic), and 11d20. And I honestly think I need more.

Mind you, I'm the DM and have 4 regular players, only one of which has a large enough dice set to accommodate his character(s). One has dice, but often needs to borrow a d8 or two, since he tends to play archers, crits a lot, and only has 3d8's himself. At least he's got about 8d20s. Then, I have a player with a full 2 sets of poly dice, but who never remembers them, so he tends to use dice borrowed from each of us, especially d6's from me.

(he played a level 30 multiweapon-fighting rogue/swordsage, who, against the final boss of said campaign, rolled 17 attacks (thanks to having 4 arms, snap kick, and Time Stands Still), and IIRC 12 of them hit (despite his whopping +60 to hit on each attack, thanks to extensive prebuffing, mostly on him). He ended up rolling some 90d6's, plus a dozen or so d8's. Everyone pooled our dice, and it still took two rolls for each die size. After nearly 5 minutes of rolling and counting, he had done something like 900 damage after the massive DR he couldn't penetrate, finally finishing off the boss, who had already taken 4 energy missiles, 2 chain lightnings, and an ubercharge attack routine. Everyone went home happy, and we vowed to never again play epic levels, for the sake of our sanity.)

Normally whenever that player went all out like that (we called that character "the blender", and referred to that attack routine as "Setting it to puree"), I usually made him use a dice rolling program, or just straight up said "And then they died" (for the enemies with "merely" 200 hp and surrounded with magical defenses), but I simply had to let him roll all of them for the finale of the 2 year campaign.

[Segev]

In my backpack right now, I have about 20d10, three full sets of D&D polyhedrals (a d4, d6, d8, d10, d20, and a 10s die for a d100), and two cubes of 36 d6 (though one's actually missing two of them, so is only 34).

I own more than that.

[XionUnborn01]

I know that I personally have bought bulk packs of 3lbs of dice I believe 4 times, along with various small amounts of dice before that and picking up dice from random places over the years.

We always roll all the dice, and I'm honestly surprised that people on here are talking about using a shaker, I've never even thought about using one before, though it would work easier to roll attack and damage all together.

The most dice I've even rolled was when I DMM'd some burn spell, fire storm maybe? It ended up being like 60d6 or something.

Sounds like my big guy. DM was happy when I retired him and took the DM's homebrew weapons out of play. That's what he gets for making them like that. If I had ever managed to crit on everything it would have been.... (lets see.... his homebrew had a 15-20/x4... and if he had gotten Improved Critical(lightsaber) it would have been 10-20/x4) 240 d6 thrown at once. Oh god that would have crashed roll20.

[hymer]

Having just weighed a set (1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 2d10, 1d12 and 1d20) they came in at 30g. My whole bunch plus the bag they're in (pretty flimsy) is 380g. So I guess I have about 85 dice in my bag. I have a bunch of extra d6s from a Yahtzee game somewhere I think, but I don't need them, so they stay hidden.

[Sian]

all at once ... my most recent group was also warhammer players (i think all together we could scourge up some 200 d6's) and we had the habit of rolling into a 30cm square box that one of them (a carpenter and hobby LARP armorer) had his leatherworking tools in before it grew to small (:smallconfused:)

[Chronos]

I own two full sets of polyhedrals, one with paired d10s for percentiles, one with only one. Of those, one of the d20s I don't use, because it's too biased (it only rolls a 20 about 1 time in 200, and yes I have counted). I used to have another full set, but I ate all of them except the 20.

If I need to roll 2d(whatever), I roll the dice. If I need up to maybe 4 or 6 dice, I roll repeatedly, or borrow from another player. More than that, I use a dice-rolling app on my iPod, because who has the time to count up all those pips? Combat takes too long already.

[weckar]

I have exactly 746 dice, of all varieties.

[fishyfishyfishy]

Disintegrate? I would question why they are rolling an odd number of dice for a spell that does 2d6 per caster level...then I would probably count out 10 or so dice and start rolling.

As far as number of dice owned, I'm going to guess between 120 and 200. I haven't counted in quite some time and I normally only keep a portion of them on hand. The rest are set aside in the open for players to use if they forgot theirs.

[Slipperychicken]

I have..

10-15 d4s.
15d6
5 or so d20s
3-4 of each of the following: d8s, d10, d12. This include the 10s place and 1s place d10s used to emulate d% rolls.


At once? I think I needed all 15d6 for some Shadowrun 5e. Thankfully, my largest diepool was 15.

[hakarb]

Let's say you get disintergrated
It's 35D6 and you probably don't roll 35 dice at once.
And
How many dice you roll physically at once?

My buddy has boxes and boxes of dice that he's collected over the year, when we need to roll 50d4, we just roll them.

But it's faster to just use a rolling program (albeit much less fun.)

[With a box]

I just used randomly choosed number and a spell deals a lot of damage..

[Azraile]

I use to have a big bag of lots of diffrent kinds of dice.... like a LOT

but now I have a much smaller bag with maybe 40d10

I ran a white wolf game, and players forget there dice.... so the ST has to have spare dice.

[Jack_Simth]

All of them. No problem. I got a set of 36 so I could have matching dice, and have more besides.

[With a box]

I personally dosen't have physical dice at all
I use my tablet pc for everything. (Rulebook pdf, map , sheet ..)

[Darrin]

In Munchkin d20, there's a spell called wall of dice. To determine the damage, you roll all of your dice. *ALL* of them.

Needless to say, never play Munchkin d20 with Kevin Cook (http://www.dicecollector.com/).

[weckar]

Wait, how did that guy lose 3000 dice???

[Phelix-Mu]

I used to play West End's D6 star wars when I was a kid. So...if I could find them, I likely have a three dozen d6's or so.

Ah, I friggin' loved that game. Still have my books somewhere. At the time I was alternating between 2e D&D (dysfunctional rules fun), and WESW (much simpler d6 system that usually made sense). Ah, good times.

Anyway, I collect dice, and have hundreds. I bought like 75d10 to add to my 100+ already just so I could feel ready to play Exalted (where dice pools are regularly climbing into the 30s).

Plus, I just love the pretty colors.

I lost a bag of dice back in middle school (seriously an age ago at this point); man, that was traumatic. It was a nice bag, too, and I didn't have half so many dice back then (cause they were much harder to come by way back when...before *gasp* Amazon).

[Vizzerdrix]

About a pound and a half. Maybe two.

[fishyfishyfishy]

I was being facetious....

[ArqArturo]

36.

I play Warmachine+Iron Kingdoms+3.5 a lot, so there.
