...I'm anti dice tube...

What is wrong with a dice tube? It has some advantages over a baffle-box imho:

1) no-one touches the dice after they have been placed in the cylinder, so there no need to waste time with 'shaking' anything. Most players who use baffle-bxes want to shake dice in a cup first and then use the baffle-box. That is like creating a great PRNG (the baffle-box) and thinking you need another PRNG (shaking a dice cup) to use first. Either the baffle-box is designed well or it isn't, no need to waste time shaking dice in a cup first

2) the cylinder can be picked up an inverted on your side of the board signifying to all whos turn it is. You can't do that with a baffle-box

I'm making an acrylic tube with central baffles at the moment (just for fun), but that is a waste of time if players have a good reason for not using it.
