One of the most tragic events in every gamer’s life is losing dice (unless they're cursed, of course, in which case you can't EVER get rid of them). Whether it’s to the hungry maw of a vacuum cleaner, the whims of a bored housecat, the predations of the mysterious Dice Gnomes, or the sneakiness of a gamer “friend,” nearly every gamer has a tale of the time the favorite die got away . . .
