So many dice!

I hope someone sang "Part of Your World" while dancing about this awesome collection of dice!

Lots of beautiful dice!

>Drool<

I want to roll around in a tub full of them.

Chessex hasn't managed to evoke this reaction in me for a couple of years worth of Spiel/RPC now. Mainly because they went from giving discounts from "we never gave discounts unless people bought quite a lot of stuff" and the fact that there wasn't that much more they had to offer me.

Q Workshop, on the other hand...

Minus d4's ;)

That made me laugh pretty hard.

That reminds me to check q workshop's webpage for the KM dice.

I have a low pain threshold. I agree with the minus d4's addendum.

Maybe just dig myself into a sort of dice cocoon then pour the d4's on top of me. You know, like at the beach. A beautiful, glittering, scintillating, polyhedral beach.

This whole idea of wallowing in dice is very inadvisable. Dice are a very iconic representation of luck, so bathing in them is basically courting luck. It's like hitting on Desna. In fact, it's like walking up to her and rubbing against her.

So my PSA for today is: Deities often frown on frotteurism and might discourage future attempts with stern reproofs. Do you want pugwampis to infest your home?

Wow, It's not real often that I see a word in a blog or message-board I have to check at dictionary.com

Thank you Kae-Yoss, although I don't see it becoming my word of the day anytime soon.

You seem to have the wrong day.

Anyway, if you need more words of the day, you can look at page 55 of the GameMastery Guide. It's literally full of words that people probably need to look up. Things like leal, epicure, redolent.

And if you need more (or don't have the GMG, I have another link for you. And with those words I'd bet good money that nobody (except maybe Sherlock Holmes) will have to look up most of them:

Do you know what bastinado is?

Here's another cool link for words that make you seem smarter in front of your friends:

I was at Origins last year (alas, I didn't make it this year), and was extremely disappointed that the very first thing that Chessex sold out of was their loaded dice.

Really? Loaded dice? Is it really that important to people?

Obviously you haven't played a nice game of HoL between campaigns ;)

And when I say a nice game, I mean laughing so hard you pee yourself.

Don't change the subject. Why were YOU looking for those?

frotteurism

Thanks for expanding my vocabulary. Now I'll be ready when that pops up in conversation.

I definitely bought some this Gencon, I couldn't resist.

Any time.

Wait, what else. "kakistocracy"

I'm not pointing any fingers. I'd say those I mean will know that I'm talking about them, but obviously, they probably won't notice.

Truth be told, those two words are inter-related; the latter do the former to everyone else.

Well, you hit two words in a row that I did not know. However, kakistocracy is in my vocabulary. I actually spent some time discussing with a wikapedian why it should not be included.

In the end I agreed with him as most who understand a kakistocracy would.

And, nothosonomia did not appear in www.dictionary.com, but it appeared elsewhere. It sounds like a noun for discussing what most people would call sailorspeak.

I, err ...

Hey ... kakistocracy? That's one I haven't heard before!

The way I read it, it's not generic "sailorspeak". It seems to be the specific act of calling someone a bastard, meaning the narrow definition of "illegitimate child" and not the wider definition of "bad person".

Since legitimacy is a big deal in certain circles, I can see that being a specific insult.

It means "sum of all people who buy loaded dice" :P
