In Response To: Meyer Dice Tube (revisited) (Bill Riles)

'I, personally, think it is a joke.'

To each his own. I believe any device that generates random rolls and speeds up the game significantly is a reasonable addition to our community. Many of us spend a significant amount of time playing online or against computer bots and enjoy it without having to shake the dice in a cup and cast them. I know many people do like to shake the dice and roll. Maybe they like the physicality of it. Maybe it is habit. Many people I have played with that now prefer a baffle-box hated it the first time they used it.

My only concern with the baffle-tube is whether it truly creates random rolls. It probably does, but I would like proof. If that is shown, I would gladly play with one if my opponent preferred. But, I respect the opinions of Bill and Neil and any others that prefer not to.

  • This seems to be an improvement, but I still prefer to roll dice, either onto the board or thru a baffle box
