Does anyone else prefer small dice? I've got some 5mm d6 from various games and they're my favorites.


I am totally buying one of these when I get a chance.  Not that I'll ever need it, but it looks damn cool

I don't have 5mm (goodness, that's tiny!) but I do have a set of 10mm RPG dice.

I can imagine I would want to go smaller than 10mm, unless maybe they were being used as markers to track stats or some such thing.

One of the advantages is that I can no longer read them without glasses, so I can just make up whatever roll I needed.

I was trying to find a YouTube clip of the scene from Guys & Dolls when Big Julie was just making up whatever the rolls were on his blank dice, but I can't find one

I caved and back the "Advent-ure Calendar 7: Santa's Workshop" on the Black Oak Workshop Kickstarter. I really wanted Calendar 6: The Deathgale Galleon but figured I could actually put up the Santa one at Christmas time. And it will probably be the only time I'll ever use it.

I use 5 mm dice as alternative to numerical counters in some games--such as attrition counters in the GBOH series--and as altitude markers in the Red Storm (and related) games.

The dice tower I ordered via Etsy is on its way! Very stoked. Sad that I'm stoked over such a thing, but stoked nevertheless.
