Dice Bags

[evil-frosty]

So I am looking for a new dice bag, mainly cause the one I have is nearly full and is uninspiring and I do not like it overly much. So I was wondering what the Playgrounders use to store and transport their dice. I have a lot of dice(never bothered to count) so if you link something please keep that in mind. So what does the playground use?

Crown Royal, Black.
Some other stuff I've used, a pencil case had holes to easily fit into my binder, the plastic case they came in, wooden box/chestthing, & a plastic bag... you have to start somewhere.
I've seen I people using a chainmail bag, tupperware, & pants pockets

Crown Royal, Black.

I am almost over flowing a crown royal bag, maybe 5 or 6 sets more will do it, and I just find it uninspiring and also 4 other people in my gaming group have the same thing.

I have a bag that's in the same basic style as a Crown Royal bag, but homemade for me by my sister so I could carry my stuff while in costume at ren faire. If you're looking for something special you can probably find something like that by searching Etsy or whatever for "dice bag" or "drawstring pouch" since there are a lot of talented people out there who just like making stuff and would be glad to sell you something cool.

I have an old Dragon Dice bag (stuffed to bursting).

I also use the Mistborn dicebag I got with the set purchase. sadly was only available at Gencon.

A couple of my college friends were getting married 8 years ago. Their rule for the college group was "no conventionally useful gifts." I got them matching His and Hers dicebags. I think it's the only gift I've gotten someone where I actually thought "that's a good one" as opposed to phoning it in desperately due to lack of inspiration.

Why don't you buy some old piece of leather and make your own? I mean, it shouldn't be hard to get a piece of leather and sew it together (could work equally for cloth, but leather is so infinitely cooler and protects better). I usually take some kind of bag with me continaing my few dice, ecxept for 6 d6's I have: they are carried in a silver case with my name and 18th birthday on it. (a present for my 18th birtday )

[Kadzar]

Sewing leather is actually quite a bit harder than sewing cloth. I'm pretty sure even for the thinner stuff you're going to want one of those special hole-punchers made for leather. Even if you don't need a hole-punch, you'll probably need to hand-sew the thing, which could take some time, the amount depending on how big you want the gaps between the stitching to be.

but it would be ane awesome dicebag (just like the chainmail one)

How about making one? My mom made one for me when I was younger and it've stuck with me for about 8 years. I'm pondering about making a new one as my old is overflowing.

Dragon Chow Dice Bags, they have all sorts of awesome, cool designs. (Standard size is merely 4" x 5" though...they have double-tall bags, though, that's the "pencil strap" size.)

Suffice it to say, the selection is great. I bought my friend this, as a "gamer's first dice bag" present. She was thrilled.

[Jay R]

Look at this one.

[Ravens_cry]

I don't use a dice bag, I find they get loose over time. Instead, I use a cookie tin. It also makes a convenient roll surface if you are prone to exploding dice all over the place.

[Greylond]

My wife makes our dice bags. I like hers better than anything that I've found in stores. She makes them large to hold lots of dice, big enough to put your whole hand in and still have lots of room. She lines them and uses a good quality outer layer so that they don't wear out or get holes very quickly. She sold a few of them on commission at a local game store a couple of years ago. I need to see if I can convince her to start making them again...

[Anderlith]

If you decide to work with leather, you don't need a specially made hole punch. Just use a small chisel or a nail

[evil-frosty]

I do not think I have the skill or the determination to make my own and personally I cannot see it going well. This one guy in the group I found on my college campus has one he got from GenCon which is awesome. It is like a medieval drawstring pouch except it had a leather 'belt' that went over the top and had a snapping locking mechanism on the belt which would snap onto a 'button' on the bag and then you twist something on the belt and it locked. Also I think it is slightly wider than a normal medieval pouch and it sort of tapers up to the opening slightly.

I've made it something of a tradition that every year I go to a certain convention, which Is once a year, I buy one dice bag, and at least one set of dice to go with it. most of them are hand-crafter from cloth, although I have one which I assume is vinyl, as it looks and feels like leather, but is really thin and pliable.

There's this girl whose work I really enjoy, named Esh-Esh. You can find the dicebag section of her Etsy shop here, but I'd recommend checking her other stuff to. It's all pretty cool, and she takes custom requests. Not only that, but I first discovered her work because she was holding a raffle on 4chan's /tg/ board, giving away a dice bag for free, and that's something she does about once a month. Pretty cool girl, all in all.

I'm making a dice bag out of chainmail.

Because why not.

[Seerow]

I'm making a dice bag out of chainmail.

Because why not.

My friend took up chain mail making a while back, made dice bags for the whole group out of different weaves/ring sizes. Everyone has chain bags that are visually distinct, it's really nice.

[TheThan]

You’ve Gotta get yourself a skull bag.

You know you want to.

I use the leather pouch that came with an old pair of Koss headphones I had. I'm walking death to stuff I take with me and it's still standing, although my dice collection has expanded to the point where it can take little more. Even if my collection gets too big I will likely cut back on dice instead of casting aside my leather Koss pouch.

However, an Eclipse Phase patterned tall pencil strap dice bag from Dragon Chow would be very nice and if it wasn't sold out my wife would have gotten the previously mentioned Police Box dice bag for Christmas.

That wizard bag is awesome, but it is a bit expensive at about 40 USD

[White_Drake]

Don't have one myself, but I heard segmented cigar boxes (the old wood ones) are fantastic. You can but a different dX in each column.

A bit expensive, yeah... that's the only thing that's kept me from buying one, to be honest. Still, they're awesome, as are the other things she makes.

[Lord Il Palazzo]

Look at this one.

[Insert obligatory "Yo dawg" joke here]

I use a Magic the Gathering fat pack box to hold my dice and assorted other gaming stuff. It helps that my group plays at my house so I can just grab the box off the shelf and have everything I need. If I had to travel more to play, I would probably find myself a bag of some sort. Most of my players keep their dice in the clear plastic Chessex boxes they came in. On guy who always has a ton of D6s uses some kind of repurposed plastic jar and another with multiple Chessex boxes and a few loose dice besides uses a small wooden box.

Edit: A quick Googling found this bag. If I had enough dice that they wouldn't look pathetic in it, I would absolutely buy one.

[Dr.Epic]

Look at this one.

Make it a d100 and I'd be impressed.

[Hylas]

I knitted one using this pattern.

My friend bought the Bag of Devouring one when they were in stock. It's pretty nice, if a bit small for his collection.

[Melayl]

I use a small, flat (4" x 8") fishing lure box. You can divide the compartments up for different d#, and they all stay organized and easily accessible.

Plus, the boxes are really cheap and come in many different sizes.

[Andreaz]

So...elaborate.
I just use a sackcloth with a string to tie the opening.
