Rolling dice is a lot of fun. So much that when I remove the dice, such as with a virtual roller, it becomes a burden rather than fun.
I think the esoteric knowledge and special implements carried D&D really far for me. That and my origin story involves falling through the floor of an abandoned house and landing on a pile of D&D books.
Now I don’t really want to play in person. I have stuff to do. And the dice don’t appeal to me as much. I wonder if that will change.
the first crowdfunding campaign i ever backed was a kickstarter campaign for spinner rings. they shipped like four years later and i never responded and i think they’re gone now.
i like dice, too. in retrospect the dice are fun and probably still more fun than rings that have a spinny metal circle around them.
i have a set of mostly d6s in a warcraft chest. ^^ from the world of warcraft tcg and collectible minis games. can’t believe i did both those things.
I got mine from the very same crowdfunding campaign. Though I hadn’t been in the habit of wearing a ring at the time and I borked my ring size or they sent me the wrong one. Want one?
