Dice Collection

A Plethora of Pips In my early teens, I played a little bit of Dungeons and Dragons. I know it's hard to believe that a happenin' guy like me who's into such macho stuff as cartoons and dominoes would be interested in such a dorky activity, but that's the case. During that time, I amassed an assortment of dice from other board games, the local hobby shop, and donations from friends and family. I don't play D&D anymore, but the dice are still stored in this drawer cabinet which is normally reserved for assorted nuts and bolts. Here they are, from the least number of sides to the most.

3-Sided Actually, these have 6 sides, but the numbers 1, 2, and 3 each appear twice.	4-Sided The only dice where the number you roll is either on the bottom or a corner.	6-Sided, Pipped Pipped is the techincal term for "dotted". Do I sound sophisticated?
6-Sided, Numbered All the functionality of regular dice, without any of that tricky pip counting.	6-Sided, Smooth No sharp corners that could poke your eyes out here.	6-Sided, Skull Instead of ones, these dice have scary skulls. Ooooooooohhh!
6-Sided, Chaos You can see how it earned its name. Those crazy symbols are out of control!	6-Sided, Stars These were originally part of a board game called Liar's Dice. It's true!	6-Sided, Big Part of another missing and forgotten board game.
6-Sided, Lettered If you find Boggle too easy, try playing with just six dice. (SKY)	6-Sided, Bowling According to my math, I'm missing... three dice from this set.	6-Sided, Blank I could never figure out what to put on it.
6-Sided, Casino These 1½" cubes came from an Atlantic City souvenir shop.	6-Sided, Wood A pair of wooden dice, handcrafted by my brother.	6-Sided, Crooked There are no 90 degree angles on these dice.
6-Sided, Dice in Dice A die inside of a die. If they were in another die, I'd be amused.	8-Sided This is the point where dice have enough sides to start resembling jewels.	8-Sided, Smiley From another board game. The 8 is replaced by a smiley face. Prophetic?
8-Sided, Poker Marlboro once marketed this set of poker dice which includes suits.	10-Sided One side for each toe, unless you're a three-toed sloth.	10-Sided, Pipped These are larger than their numbered counterparts to accommodate all the pips.
10-Sided, Weird I'm not sure what to make of this unevenly-shaped thing.	10-Sided, Percentage These pairs show that there is no "I" in "team", although there is one in "dice".	12-Sided A dozen pentagons come together to form this pleasing shape.
20-Sided One side for each finger and toe, unless you're a three-toed sloth.	20-Sided, Jumbo 55 millimeters tall! It's extra large for those important rolls.	20-Sided, Inflatable This giant, air-filled die is 17 inches in diameter, and was found at Crystal Caste.
30-Sided I've run out of ways to describe dice. These are 30-sided dice.	34-Sided I suppose you could make a die for any even number using this technique.	50-Sided The previous caption has been proven to be correct.
100-Sided All other dice bow before the almighty zocchihedron!	Super Mario Yahtzee Shake the dice in the "? Block" and watch the Super Mario icons fly.	Dice Clock You'll enjoy watching time go by with this retro clock. (AA battery not included)
