I stopped by the local gaming store today and picked up some neat dice.

Koplow Games
Mini PLANETS, SIGNS & NUMBERS
49-DRS&#OP ZH 9999

It's a set of three *tiny* 12 sided dice.

One red die, with the faces numbered 1 thru 12
One black die, with the signs of the zodiac
One white die, with the astroligical symbols for the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and ascending & descending node.

They were only a couple of bucks, and I ought to be able to do creatively odd things with them.

Add in one of my 30 sided dice, and I'll be able to do some *strange* random dates for gaming. :-)

...since I played D&D. Some old friends invited me to a new D&D campaign they were starting tonight.

It was fun. But in our first encounter (we got jumped by orcs at nite while camping in the woods) I fought three rounds against a pair of orcs before remembering that my character was a magic user. And the pair facing me were dead by then. And I was down quite a few hit points.

My character spent the rest of her watch muttering under her breath "Use your spell, stupid!".

It's an odd party. Out of 8 PCs we only have two men. Both played by the same guy. Then again, given that there were only 5 players, with a 3-2 male/female ratio, this isn't all *that* surprising.
