Hi, My name is Grant and I have a problem.

Can you get enough dice? Well, I can't.

You have to have enough so that when they get cursed and start rolling bad you can place them back in the dice-box-of-decursing and restrive a fresh die. ;~]

Today I was searching around on the net for the dice manufacturers web sites when I stumbled upon Crystal Caste Dice.

So what? Another dice manufacturer. Well, no. THIS MOB IS NUTS!

Crystal Caste have a variety of product lines (click the titles for complete listings):

Crystal Dice
These are elongcated instead of the traditional polyhedral dice.

Dwarven Metal
Cast from Steel, Copper or Brass.

Dwarven Stones
These are actually made of stone, eg: Obsidian, Quartz, Red Jasper, Yellow Jade, Hematite, Synthetic Opal, etc...
Some are actually insane. Silver or Gold-Plated Silver.
Or weird: Bone, yes actual Bone (so they claim).

Then there is the Extroadinary Dwarven Stones
These are the rare and completely nuts dice:
      Meteorite Dwarven Stones
      Dinosaur Dwarven Stones
      Green Jade Dwarven Stones
      Tiger Eye Dwarven Stones

Don't forget the Dice Jewellery. Especially your D20 Pendants and Earrings in varying Stone, Bone and Metal.

And what dice nut would be complete without Solid or Stackable, stone Icehouse Pyramids

Now I am all for ridiculous amounts of dice (multi-tiered tackle-box-style cases full), and the stone ones are cool but impractical (you are just gonna screw up a wooden table), the bone ones are funky but no way would i be buying pendants, earrings, "icehouse pramids" or dice carved from meteorites or fossilised dinosaur bones.
