tropes dice

This is an idea for a creativity stimulator to help with writers block or just for amusement.

Step 1 Materials

1 inch diameter wooden dowels
A sanding device  (this is a cheapo $20 bench grinder, it'd be much better to use this cool sanding station from Craftsman)
dust mask
safety glasses
earplugs
extension chord (for working outdoors)
saw
fine point pen

could you us normal dice?

We just used to use bits of hexagonal pencil...

Oh donk, why didn't I think of that. Even better. Then you could just take different colored pencils and color code the tropes.

I must say that's a amusing concept.
This could be used for DM, ST, people who run role playing games to spawn instant bits of plot too!

yes, I like it a little better too cause you don't have to run off and cross reference the dice roll to an idea in a handbook, it's just right there.
