I woke up today and found my 20 sided die was missing


Gamer Life General Discussion


So I pulled out my D&D stuff for the first time since they made 4th edition. Thought I would give 5th edition a try, so its been a lot of years since I have played. I reached into my desk drawer and pulled out my 11th level Cleric's dice. They are black with gold numbering and they so carefully lie in a true tan, leather dice bag. A single bag for these special dice, dice specifically bought for just that character. Much to my horror when I opened the bag...my d20 was missing!

Now what do I do? I plan to turn the entire gaming room upside down in an effort to find it. I've tons of boxes of D&D and other stuff to go through. I've checked the desk drawers and its no where to be found. The worst possible scenario here is that I lost the die when I got divorced and moved out. Did the die even make to my new house? What if my ex got a hold of it? Is it at the bottom of the river wearing cement shoes?

"Oh where Oh where has my little dice gone, Oh where or where can she be!"

I've got insurance with my job and can get counseling in case the die is never found. Meanwhile I'm going on vacation around Christmas time and plan on playing D&D for the first time in several years.

MY LIFE SUCKS! HOPE YOUR HAVING A BETTER DAY!


Well, on the basis that the Religious Fundamentalists say that people that play D&D clerics can really cast spells, why not cast Locate Object - problem solved! ;-)

That's an excellent idea, in my panic mode I never thought of that.


You can check every bag or suitcase your die bag ever was in. Dice have a way of climbing out the top of dice bags.

I never got my tax rebate check, but they are sending another copy. Your die is irreplaceable.

But how will you roll perception to find it?

New game = perfect justification to buy a new set of dice.

I can't play w/out a full, matching set. I have two collections of dice, full and partial sets. They are kept separately.

OCD time! At least it was your own die that you lost -I went hardcore grass pinching with my toes after a patio game during nighttime. Sweet Success.

I cannot imagine playing a game with only a single set of dice. I must have at least one backup die in case the first one betrays me.

Really? My entire table plays with dice I got with the 5th edition D and D starter set.

I completely understand where your coming from. I buy a new set of dice for every main character I create (I play 3 different games). I gamemaster each one as well and have about 50-75 dice per game.

The mourning period for my lost die has ended. I dug into other dice and took a set I bought on a whim but never used. From here forth, they shall be known as Eileen's Dice.
