So after watching the first several episodes of Hyper RPG's Corporate SINs, I noticed the dice rollers they were using to hold multiple dice. I've used dice trays and color-coding, but haven't experimented with these. Anyone use anything similar? Good ideas to start looking? I've been looking online, but it's difficult to gauge whether one could hold 10 dice or so with all being visible, clarity of the plastic, and relative durability (I know some plastics break or crack easier and shaking to roll dice inherently means contact).

Thanks in advance!

I use a leather dice cup that I got on Etsy, with a thrift shop wooden serving tray with raised edges to throw the dice into. Lined the bottom of the tray with a bit of felt I found in the scrap bin at the local fabric store to keep the rattle to a minimum.

Well, drek. Looks like Timmy fell into the Dissonance Well again.

I've seen some great looking dice cups, but the problem is still with collecting the requisite number of dice. What these players used are little dice packs - so you'd have a couple of 10's, some 5's, etc. if you had to roll 18, you'd pick a 10 and a 5, and then roll 3 loose ones. If it were 34, three 10's and 4 individuals, and so on.

I've used a plastic drinking cup before.
