Whiskey dice


 Goofing around on Amazon the other day I stumbled upon a recent fad of drinkers called Whiskey Stones. These are stones you chill in your freezer to pour your whiskey over to chill it without diluting the drink.

As any gamer worth his weight in gold, I immediately saw them and though "OMG they are d6s!"

For just $12 on amazon I picked up TWELVE massive granite d6s that put my normal dice to utter shame.

I mean look at it! These are heafty, solid, and stood up to pretty harsh tossings on my desk. I need to figure out a better way to mark them than a sharpie, but I received them in the mail just now and wanted to start tossing them.

In a pinch they could be sling stones as well. ;-)

    Cool.

    Now of course I'm thinking these dice need to be some sort of special item for the players to have to deal with.

    I'm curious if one of those small dremels could carve in numbers into the stone?

      I am positive it would, getting it to be straight and look good might be a challenge though. My Dremel skills are quite poor.

      I'd go with pips.

    Nice. I wonder about a rubber stamp, either to mark or use as a guide for engraving? I may try that...
