Dice Bag? I don’t need no stinkin’ dice bag.

Come on, gamer friends. The Crown Royal bag is just a little clichéd, isn’t it? It’s time for a new era of dice transportation devices.
I present to you – THE DICE PENGUIN.
It started out as a regular penguin candy dispenser that I got for Christmas one year:
You put the candy in his body and when you press his head, the candy is expelled out of his anus. Quite charming, no?
I bought new dice today because in my last session I managed to roll every single digit number possible on my d20. Twice. I figured new dice might teach my old dice how to behave. Then I thought, well gee, I need something to put these dice in…. I wonder if….
Ta-da! Who wouldn’t want their dice transported around in the body of an adorable penguin? It’s too bad the dice are too big for him to poop them out because that, my friends, would be hilarious beyond all description.

Well kudos to you & your new top of the line “Dice Transportation Penguin” but what are you trying to say about my Crown Royal bag? My ol’Crown Royal bag has served me & my dice very well. Say I was considering trading in my ol’bag, a candy pooping penguin maybe socially acceptable for a lady-gamer but what are your suggesting for us Manly-Men-Gamers?
Hi Tex,
I’m just saying that perhaps we need to be ushered into new and exciting modes of dice transportation. Consider it like upgrading from horse & buggy to Ferrari.

P.S. Even manly men can love penguins.

The dice carring, candy pooping penguin is great, hilarious even but really I am not taking a penguin with me to game. Playing a table-top RPG can be hard enough to explan to people. I can’t even began to tell people that I carry my dice inside a penguin.

I guess that’s why being the fairer gender gives me unfair advantage.
Now if I could find a similar sized cyborg which can shoot the dice out of its oversized portable missile laucher, I would stop carring my dice in an old chewing gum box…
O man, how did I miss this? Any chance you know where they sell these penguins, as this is just awesome.
Hallmark stores. There’s an easter one too. Chickie with bunny ears. I posted about it here:
