RPGaDay 2024: Day 28

28. Great gamer gadget

Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary defines "gadget" thusly:

gadget

an often small mechanical or electronic device with a practical use but often thought of as a novelty

Based on that definition, "great gamer gadget" is clearly a dice tower. Do I use one? No. Do I think they are amusing? Yes. Would I use one if I had one? Yes, if a) it was sufficiently amusing and b) my players can't keep their dice on the table otherwise. Personally, I prefer dice trays and dice cups, but dice towers are fine, too.

I think it would be fun if there were competitions to create the most interesting dice towers—elaborate Rube Goldbergian contraptions just to roll dice. And then OK Go could incorporate the entries into a music video. It seems like the universe would want this to happen.
