So im that individual who has countless dice sets, i have a small wooden chest half way full as well as two sets of metal dice i keep seperate, and my freinds say i have a problem and i disagree. I understand i dont need them but at the same time i do. They look awesome and it makes me happy damn it. Its not like im spending money i dont need to or anything like that. I dont see a problem with it, does anybody else?
I have 5 dice sets made from semiprecious stones: 7 die fantasy sets in opal, hematite, and tiger eye; and d10 sets in snowflake obsidian and jade.
I went for quality over quantity.

I would kill for ypur set where did you get those id love a link. I saw a 24 karot gold set that was entricatly designed defiantely a show peice looked way to fragile to use, for roughly $100 and id love to get my hands on a set but i dont have a hundred bucks lying around and so many people would skin me alive for spending that much on dice
Buying dice is how you sacrifice to Tymora, yeah that's it. ^_^

This is a hobby, it's not helping us get ahead in the world. Therefore anything we buy is wasted money ... but we buy it anyway.
Why?
Because it makes us happy!
If your hobby makes you happy you're doing it right.
I think if you have lots of dice, love them and they make you happy then cool. I don't, my dice are just functional.
Yes, playing Pathfinder, or any RPG, is a leisure pursuit or hobby and will cost some money for no tangible end. And I suspect for most of us it is a fairly cheap leisure pursuit. If you compare how much total your group has spent on the game and the hours they spent playing it, I suspect it is much cheaper than going to the movies or a nightclub.
If you really want an example of doing something you don't have to that costs a lot of money, try having children. And the planet is already over-populated.
I have nearly 800 dice, both in complete and incomplete sets. I got more for Christmas. I keep them in a large, faux leather-bound chest that looks like a pirate's treasure chest. I love my dice and can't wait to add more to their ranks.

EVER.

Burning bad dice is how you sacrifice to Beshaba then?
That's a lot of dice. I only have 2 sets myself, plus two single d10s.
I also have a large d20 I made myself out of plastic canvas and yarn. Once I get a little better at stitching the numbers on, I plan to sell them. I was thinking of making entire sets, but the d12 is a pentagram shape which does not do well on a square-grid canvas. The others are all triangle based so I can use triangle-grid canvas for them. And of course the good old d6 is a cube which is super easy.
