How Do You Roll Dice?

When you guys roll dice at a tabletop game do you have a special way to do it that seems to work better than other ways? .

Dice Roll You How

I do not have a special way of rolling dice on table top. I just pick the die I wish shake it the hand a bit and toss it onto the table hoping for a good roll. Here in these games I do all my character rolling on the imbedded dice. As a Dungeon Master I roll using a dice roller on my cell phone. Makes it all random and interesting.

Shake it up a bit in a closed hand and then rotate it out with a twist of the wrist. Gives a good spin to it without much in the way of lateral momentum. I spend notably less time hunting for escapee dice because of it.

Well, I spend less time hunting for dice that I rolled. I keep dropping dice that I was fidgeting with on other people's turns.

So no one uses the dice cup or special contraption like throwing the dice down a box to avoid cheats to a roll? No blowing of the dice? *laugh*.

Dice Roll You How

No special way for me to roll. Just toss them enough to get a random result and to stay on the table. One thing I have noticed people doing is cheating to me. They will have the dice set for 6's and then they try to drop them straight down so they won't roll. It's annoying when a Dungeon Master lets them get by with that.

How Do You Roll Dice?

Oh aye, bugs the heck out of me too.

Once caught a player cheating on the 4d6 rolls for initial stats. He'd use his little finger to hold one of them with the d6 side up, and splay his hand out on the table so all but that one would go bouncing and rolling around. A six in every roll doesn't guarantee great stats, but it sure as heck bumps the bell curve up.

As for dice towers, cups and the like, nah. Its something else to mess with on an already crowding table, and you can usually tell when someone's doing something odd.

How You Roll Dice

I had a person try to roll four d6s that had six on all six sides to roll stats. I caught it the first throw and told him he had to use my d6s to roll stats.
