One of the first things that struck me about this series of posts is the inappropriateness of the title. "A Die for All Sessions" -- already, this is a pretty bad pun; or at least uncomfortably reminiscent of an eye-roll-inducing library conference presentation title. (why do librarians consistently view puns as the ideal means of conceptual first contact for their ideas?) Also, the title sort of implies that there is an ideal die (or set of dice) that will somehow meet the gaming needs of any and all tabletop situations, a Renaissance dice set that can cover all the bases -- when what I actually intent to discuss at some length is just the opposite. I plan to talk about the extensive (and, arguably, unnecessary) thought and aesthetic deliberation that has gone into the various dice purchases I've made.
Anyway--
