Not necessarily unique, but I mostly always carry a small pouch containing a full D&D dice set.

I haven't needed dice in... years, now that I think about it, but I carry them as a symbol of luck. Not good luck or bad luck, just luck, chance. Helps me keep things in perspective when everything goes sideways.

You never know when you'll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can't decide.

Good way to create 20 different timelines....

Don't worry, we're in the worst one

Oh, no, that particular D20 is a drama queen. I'd rather take a guess than trust that die.

...but it's the one you carry everywhere?

[โ€“] latenightnoir 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As I've said, a symbol of luck, not necessarily of good luck. A sort of Memento Mori, but for the fact that no matter how hard you try, sometimes it's just not up to you.

But... You specifically choose one that is bad luck when you could be trying to get one you believe is good luck lol so you could be trying!

Ah, but you see, I'm not looking for a good luck thing! Having the one which always works against my best interests is a reminder that everything is about balance! Some are lucky, some are unlucky, and that's just how life goes!

I do have an XL D100 I bought more as a collectible, treated copper alloy! Think it could be classified as lethal under appropriate use conditions!
