Tray or Slab?

I have a dice jar with 100's of dies....lot of memories in that jar...

Wow, too cool! Never at a loss for dice, are ya? But truthfully, if I counted all that I have in the house, there'd be a small jar filled most likely, but nowhere near a hundred+

I've always wanted a dice tower, but ive never seen one to buy one. Trays are ok. I have a few games that came with them, but i usually use the box lids for game that im playing. I usually dont roll on the table top. That comes from to many years of playing SL, i hate restacking all those stacks of cardboard squads, support weapons ect.

I have a friend of mine who used to go on and on about how "Regular Dice" are not "Balanced" properly because of the way the pips are drilled out on the dice. He always said that the only real dice are casino dice. So i had another friend of mine pick me up some when he was in Atlantic city on vacation so now i have some "real balanced dice", LOL. I hear that alot of guys are like that at gaming conventions, is that true?

Absolutely! A drilled die is slightly heavier on the "1" side because there are less holes and lighter on the "6" side because of more "pips". That gives you slightly better chance to roll Box Cars. In ASL, a pair of 6s is REALLY BAD! Weapons break, units die, guns run out of ammo....icky.

In a casino or in an ASL tournament there are enough die rolls that even a 1:1000 skew on the dice makes a difference.

Yeah, that absolutely true of guys, and gals, at conventions...I saw it at several tables.

And boy, did you come to the right place, my friend! I am just about to build a foamcore board dice boot (dice tower), and I'll be posting a tutorial on it. Very simple, very cheap, and very cool!
