The other day I asked you guys if I was geeky or not because whenever I hear "AD&D Insurance" I always think of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, not Accidental Death & Dismemberment.1 The consensus then was that I was not geeky (although, as one person pointed out, I was asking, perhaps, the wrong crowd if I wanted objective opinions); that was, indeed, what it must mean.
I now present to you the next stage of my geekiness. I found a website the other night that has gaming dice for sale. Very nice gaming dice. My paltry 26 dice
simply are not enough to keep the geek lobe of my brain happy. I ordered their Cloth Skull Bag with Dice. It's a pound of dice in a nice cloth skull bag (I could have gotten the leather, but that seemed a bit over-the-top, even to me). You can see the skull bag, full of dice, in that picture up above.
Now, however, my geek lobe is sighing contentedly. I went from having 26 dice to
197. :) Actually, four of those dice are my souvenirs from Las Vegas last April. The four huge, red 6-sided dice are from The Bellagio gift shop.
For those interested, that breaks down to 14d4, 89d6, 35d8, 21d10, 17d12, 21d20.
Some of you just upped my geek quotient in your minds to "Oh My God It's Moving Towards Me" or perhaps even "*backs away slowly*." And some of you just outed yourselves because you're thinking of counting yours and comparing. You know who you are. :)

Eigenar: "Oh, way to go, asshole! All that development time...." [rips character sheet in half, gets up from table, fuming, and leaves room]

GM: "Uh, your body is ashes, Thagnor. There's really nothing left to bury. In fact," [rolls d20] "a brisk wind comes along and disperses--"
Eigenar: [indistinct cursing from next room]

A few months ago, I admitted to Eric that I am a collector. I know this shocks no one, especially anyone who's seen (much less had to live with) the Doll Collection *insert heavenly cord here*, which currently takes up one room, 2 closets, and a walk-in closet.
Doll Collection aside... I said to my beloved spouse, "I am a collector. I have always been a collector, and I will always be a collector. I need to learn to collect something... small..." He immediately responded with dice.
Foolish man! I set forth with my new dice collecting passion immediately. I'll post pictures for you sometime. :)
Feh.
