Wow, what a ingenious idea! I don't think I'll try this technique yet (still getting my feet wet as it is) but is anyone else out there contemplating it?
For grins & giggles I put in 1 to 180 (the number of blocks in my next ) and it spit out a randomized listing for me. They can even help you pick your lotto numbers if you like!

Interesting, but surely only works if you grid. Since I don't grid, the thought of all that counting to get to the right square horrifies me!

I have everything from a three sided to a 100 sided dice...Needless to say the possibilities are endless, it just happens that I may have to throw several dice at once, so a 300 list will have a D3 and a D% to give me a 2 and a 85 so that would be block 85 on grid 2, I do have several of each dice so the bigger the grid, the more fun! Yes, I like my dice. I've got them in bone and wood and marble and all sorts of colours, I even have gold dice! *feels the need to generate random numbers now*
I can relate. Our gaming group about had a total party kill from a group of low level goblins because the dice gods were not being generous (except for the DM he kept rolling 20s )
Never thought of rolling dice to decide where to stitch. Might have to try that one at some point just for fun. I got a nice set of dice made from tiger's eye for valentine's day that need more use. (does it make me a nerd that I got dice for valentine's day?)

Depends on your deffinition I guess. Nerd...not really, but deffinately a geek, by our deffinition anyway, but...bah geekdom is awesome! Speaking of awesome...have you ever seen the film "Gamers 2 dorkness rising" DON NOT WATCH THE FIRST ONE it sucks, but the second one is a stroke of genius and totally different and nothing to do with the origional. It's a group of gamers who have a very kick in the door approach and a DM who wants to kill them! Of course they die and come to the conclusion that they need another player...enter "the girl" who is given a character that wears "bikinimail" she objects naturally, one of the lads plays a girl, one plays a horny bard, there's a Paladin NPC and a Monk. Nodwick makes a guest appearance but...OMG Hilarious!
"I'm going to backstab the book!"
"It's an inaminate object, It has no discernable anatomy..."
"It has a spine doesn't it?!"
*eye roll as does the dice to reveal a...1 and the bard promptly stabs himself*
I've not heard of that one, but it sounds pretty funny! Although, it does sound kinda like the group I play with. We literally spent one session kicking down every door in the goblin fort we came across just because we could. Which reminds me, I need to go buy snacks before game night tomorrow....

I'm not even remotely surprised, it's not a mainstream film...or a mainstream subject for that matter, but I highly recommend it. It's all on youtube though if you want to have a sneeky peek

I don't have much of a collection anymore since I haven't played D&D in far too long (I was just getting back into it when I had to go on bed rest for my pregnancy, boo!) but this might be a good excuse to start getting more dice.
Love board games, but don't have anywhere near enough. My favourite is our davinci code one, you know it's got a lot of rules when there's a two inch rule book and a dvd though....Still...easier to master than D&D and quicker to get through
My only problem with D&D is finding a group. We've had a party stood in a celler staring at a zombie for the better part of a year now It's so hard to find two more people availible to play regulary. I used to play online, but I lost the website we used to gather on
