Okay, this is probably an oddball topic, but hey, I'm a newbie....

Personal gaming relics... I'm sure that everyone has something particular that is dear to them in their gaming supplies. Since this is a Villains & Vigilantes forum I'll bring up one of mine that is related... the V&V die.

When I first ordered V&V back in 89, 90 (can't remember exact year), I was a poor labor class kid that had to keep things as close to the $15 order minimum that Wargames West allowed for mail order at the time. In an effort to get it right on the money I ordered an individual gaming die to sum up the odd change.... it was a transparent blue six sider that fit the bill nicely.
This particular die I'm holding arrived with my V&V game and it is the die that I began to use when the game called for a six sider and it is the die that I use to this day when I'm creating new characters and such for V&V.

Petty yes, but this little piece of blue plastic is meaningful to me personally.

For me it is a pair of D10s and a D20.  They were the type that came with a crayon (grease pen?) that you could color in yourself.

I will try to get a picture later today and post.

I remember those... I think you can still get a big batch of translucent ones on ebay.... but not from the main company (prolly rip offs)
The original ones had kind of a funny sense of weight to them... is it just me or were they lighter than most dice?

Its not you, they are definitely lighter than most dice.

Ask  MikeD about his calculator sometime...

Is this "calculator" the almost mythical Dragon Bones electronic dice machine? Or an actual calculator?
