I once had a set of mini dice that were for DMs so that players didn’t know when the DM was rolling. These were ultimately stolen and, since they were a gift from a friend, I don’t know their origin and haven’t been able to replace them. Any ideas?

I rotate between the “show me a 1″ and “20″ bits, but I have found that my normal and oversized dice both like a little bounce on their rolls.

I don’t exactly have any weird superstitions, though I tend to have really weird luck. For instance, I have this bad habit of rolling my dice when my character isn’t acting, and all my 20′s show up when I don’t need them, and I get 1′s when the rolls actually count. I can almost guarantee that I will fail spot checks (no matter which dice I use, no matter my skill bonues),but when it comes to rolls that determine whether or not my character will die, I almost always crit, (I’ve been playing for about 5 years now and I’ve only lost one character, and that was when they were an npc. My PC was trying to protect them too…) When I’m a player, my group has forbidden me from rolling for enemy attacks, because I will almost always crit. (especially with my transparent red die). My own character though, almost never hits, (in those five years, I’ve maybe dispatched 2 enemies…). Come to think of it, the dice that usually give me low rolls often get really high rolls for other players. Perhaps it’s time for a new set of dice…

I’m not joking but my dice hate all players. For the first week after i bought them they worked pretty well. and ever since then they rolled horribly. and my party tried rolling my dice also and they all got under the 10 mark. and lucks got nothing to do with it because when i just learned how to play texas hold em by my friend i beat him 5 times in a row and we shuffled many times and i still beat him with perfect hands, so lucks got nothing to do with it. so what should i do because i have no money to buy new dice?

I noticed that orange dice, even at my table, roll the best. this question is a long shot, but do you know why?

One of the other players thought he could suck the power from other people’s dice and transfer it to his own. To combat this, I had a dice box that I would say when closed it would transport the dice to the Demiplane of Dice and they would recharge. What can I say, we are nerds.

@Gevaudan
I can’t argue with that logic, especially if it works. As crazy as some dice rituals are, I’ve found that if something works for you then keep doing it. Don’t worry about statistic, probably or physics. If you can manipulate the karma of your dice, go for it!
