My wife just got me a leather bag, that doesn't look ideal for dice storage, its cut to be "boxy", but she got it embossed with the letter "B", for Bob, its black, and it looks cool. Its 12 inches long and 6 inches wide, but only maybe to inches deep (front to back). I'll have to load it up with my convention dice and see how I like it. If I do like it I'll try and bring it to Gary Con. Just be warned, I am notorious for failing to remember to take my dice to conventions. If I do decide to use this, I am sure my wife will help me to remember, since she is coming with me. I'll also try to get a picture up tomorrow, if I like it.

OK, I've loaded it up with roughly 2 LBS of dice. I like it! So I will try to get up a picture or two tomorrow, when I have day light.

Here are company pictures of the bag. Apparently these bags are meant to be for shoes...

I put that in there just for you!

My son has a collection of dreidels. A small one, I think he has like 8 of them. One of which is wound with a string for getting a good spin on it.

Excellent!

Does he play the gambling game for chocolate coins?

Hmmm, spinning dice . . might slow the game down a bit! :lol:

Oh yeah. Bought the bigger bottle for the bigger bag.

I tried this at Thanksgiving and just tried it again tonight. Really smooth and tasty ~ good after dinner drink.

Black Box dice. Hmm, not such a good pic on my glass dining room table. The dice really look great.

Outstanding! I'm not much of a whiskey drinker but this might be worth it. I did try some Paddy Devil Apple Irish whiskey when I was home over Christmas. Not bad, but it doesn't come with the dice bag...

He did actually get the chocolate coins to play the game, but he ate the coins before he played. :lol:

These are GameScience though and don't dent as easily. I have GameScience 0-9 twice d20s, but these are enlightened times so this set keeps the newer d20 and adds percentile, in Wisteria, so as to differentiate from the others. Also 4 d6 instead of 1, just because.

Finally, pulled out my dice from the Holmes BD&D boxed set and had forgotten that they are larger than the current dice that are out there. Sorry for the bad pic, but here they are . . . the 20, 12 and 4 are quite a bit larger and the 6 and 8 are only slightly bigger.
