yup same here. Except it was denting my dice tray and the papers I was rolling on before I got the dice tray.
I was at a friend's house one time and he showed us his new metal dice way back when they had just started coming out. He then rolled them on his glass topped coffee table. Thankfully it wasn't tempered glass. It chipped in 2 spots and he was like omfg. But he'd the same guy that let his 1yr old hold his fancy glass glass dice. Yeah she spiked them into the floor in 2seconds lol.

My daughter is still loving her D&D class at summer camp. She had a cold last week, and my wife asked if she was going to stay home, and she said no because she would miss D&D.
I'm thinking she would like playing it after she's done with camp, but I have no idea where to find younger kids that also play and it feels like it would be a trap if I search online.

Anyway, a long time update on my initial post. She gave up D&D for a while, not really caring because none of her friends were into it. But now a group of 6 kids at her school have started playing. Last week was their first get together, and they were just designing their characters. There's a problem now, because 4 of the 6 want to be rogues and the other 2 want to be wizard type characters. But yeah, at least they're doing something.

To get my daughter even more into it, I showed her the 2 D&D episodes of Community tonight, and she loved them.

5e has some flaws but subclasses at least allow a group of 3 rogues to still feel "unique". A swashbuckler and a mastermind are gonna play differently. Encounter design may be a pita though heh

So next Sunday I was planning on continuing with my groups adventure in the tomb of annihilation. We've just made it to the gears of hate.

But then I realized. June 22nd is Summerween! So now I'm doing an impromptu summerween adventure with them instead. I'll be using their lvl 1 character stats for the new stats for these chars they will be making.

So Summerween is from the show Gravity Falls. Great show btw.

I also made these kinda burnt up pages for character sheets.The burnt aspect just felt right. Dunno why I did it lol.

Perkins and Crawford to the queerpg from Critical Role. Crawford I feel is probably a net positive for Wizards losing, but Perkins has been around and worked on a lot of the pre-woke stuff.

Critical Role likely threw them a lot of money to jump ship, to add legitimacy to their woke game for the initial sales/etc. I can see them hanging out for a year and then going to some independent studio after their stock options clear/etc and they can take advantage of all the people who say they like DND but actually don't buying the game.
