I was at a bar that had the Crown Royal girls handing out tiny little CR bags for drink coasters. They work perfectly for a set of polyhedrals. I need to go find those girls again and get more. (And if I wasn't married, I'd ask for a phone number, too.)

@DNAphil: I have a small container fetish. I naturally gravitate to that section in most stores, and I already have more of them than I’m likely to use. My wife gets a chuckle out of it. Your zippy thing looks awesome — I can totally see the appeal for dice.

@Scott: Jesus, that’s awesome! It reminds my of The Gamer’s Bag’s signature product, the Dice Bag of Holding.

It was about the same size, but instead of being subdivided it had six or seven little triangular pouches on the inside walls of the bag, and a wide, open area in the bottom. Each pouch was sized to hold a fully 7-die poly set, with room to roll or store tons more dice in the middle.

@Raindog: You and Marsbarn are most welcome! I love using this bag, and I had fun reviewing it.

Martin, Thank you for the very nice review. Marsbarn is my wife. I have have two of her bags: one for D+D, and one for Warhammer. The D+D bag, I have used weekly for over 14 years. The open mouth and square bottom is the reason I have used it for so long. The Warhammer bag holds not only dice, but templates, turn counters, and measuring tapes. The bag is popular enough, other Warhammers players started asking for them over the last five years. At a recent, 80 man tournament, about 40 players were using them on their tables. Cheers, RD

My dice bags are somewhere in storage. I have a little tackle box I use for my color-coded dice, so each color is separated in its own compartment. These dice anybody can use, and each player can have their own color if they want. My other bag was pricey, but it came with a free bottle of Crown Royal. Those were my own dice, but it seems to have disappeared somewhere. Sounds like a good excuse to get a new bag.

Did you ever see Rob Donoghue's dice bag review? I have to admit that between you two, I'm thinking about upgrading from ziplock and crown royal bags...

When GMing, my dice bag is a sturdy circular metal container that used to contain candy. The lid pressure fits strongly but is still easy enough to open. It's about the same size as Martin's bag and sits upright (since it's a can). It also carries tokens and other markers besides dice. I don't have a problem with letting my dice comingle, so I have all my dice in one place. The only down side is the dice do make a bit of noise if you shake it too much, but it is usually just in bottom of my bag with the rest of my books. As a player, I have one other place I store my dice -- a pencil pouch. I setup a folder with all my material I need for the game in a binder and then put in a pencil pouch with the dice needed for that game/character. No bouncing around, and it holds my pencils, pens, and note cards, as well. Need to play quickly? Just pick up the binder and everything is in one place.

Ok, that is just a good dice bag all around. The square bottom is the most appealing thing about it to me. Might have to get me one of those!

That dice bag is really cool. It is very impressing, what one can create with a cloth, yarn and a needle ... (only that the needle is a full-automatic monster machine nowadays ...)

First, let me say that it a very nice dice pouch. I too am always on the hunt for the perfect dice pouch. So much so, that it is a running joke with my friends at GenCon that I am like a fashionista shopping for a purse. My latest favorite dice container, I found at Barnes & Nobel. It is a not a pouch, but rather a 3 level container, wrapped in leather. Each level has a zipper allowing me to store 3 different sets of dice, one in each level. This is appealing to me, as I am playing in 3 games right now, and I can keep my dice separate. You can see the container here: http://tinyurl.com/5j4uck
