Under communism, we will have one big dice and everyone will get to roll it.
Yes. That’s exactly how it works here.

From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
So the Barbarian gets all the d12s, is what I’m hearing
Linking every TTRPG thing directly back to D&D is system reductionism! Under communism, there won’t be D&D as we know it because it promotes and valorizes monarchism!
Yes. That’s exactly how it works. 🙄
It must be fun to miss the point days after it’s been sarcastically made.
When I started DMing I bought a couple of packs on Ebay in order to have color coded dice for my players.
Then when I started playing, I bought myself 2 sets of really nice metal dice from Etsy.
Now I don’t have the urge to buy any more dice, because there just is no need.
I have no need for the sheer number of dice I have, but I have desire.
I got my literal gem dice (as in machined form semiprecious stones) because they were gorgeous. The same applies to my dichroic prism dice. I have my metal sets because I just like the feel of them; the heft in the hand and the satisfying *thunk* as they hit the dice tray from out the dice tower. I have several sets of dice because the colours appealed to me. (I tend to give these out to new players as I introduce them.) I have speciality dice (FUDGE/Fate dice, various Chinese dice, etc.) for the times I need them. And in the end it winds up with me having way more dice than I strictly speaking need.
But I regret none of them.
Me buying a 120 dice set:
That outta get me started
Hey baby, it is time to buy more dices!

Me: *buying dice at the game store.*
Clerk: Sure you only want the one set?
Me: yep! It’s got all of the 7 dice I’ll ever need for #dnd
Clerk: okay then! *under their breath: “See you soon”*
Me: what?
Clerk: what?

I got by with one set until I started DMing. Ever since then, dice make up about 70% of my carbon footprint.
Okay, your spell hits, now roll 12d6 for damage
That’s why you buy a box of 36 small d6.
And then 5e came along and changed half the spells to use d8s instead.
It comes in lbs? I’m getting one
rolls up to the register with an entire cart full of D6 boxes
“Gonna be playing Shadowrun this weekend.”
God i wanna get into shadowrun, but I don’t want to learn shadowrun
Having learned it: I totally feel you. The books are laid out like shit.
worst part is i’d absolutely be the DM. having read a little of the book i feel like i could just learn whatever role i want to take pretty easily (lets go decker), but keeping everything in my head at once as a dm? a lot less simple

Lol. Decker is probably the most complicated, confusing thing in the game because of how cyberspace mechanics work, and how it splits between two different combat scenarios when you have other characters in meat space while the decker is in cyberspace. Not just for the players, but especially the DM.
I actually still play 3rd edition, as the introduction of the wireless world in 4th makes this stuff even more confusing.
