Roll 2000D6...

[ffutures]

One of the current mysteries for the accounts department at my day job (educational technician) is trying to work out who ordered eight tubs of 250 six-sided dice. They don't show up on any order, so someone presumably entered the wrong order code, at our end or the suppliers - it'll probably turn out we wanted eight packs of pencils or something. Unfortunately it's our biggest supplier, and the delivery note has gone missing, so it could be pretty much any department - I'm fairly sure it isn't me, but that's about all.

But I can't help wondering if any game could ever use so many dice for real. Maybe Champions, if someone used their rules to stat something like Galactus, but I doubt it. Some sort of war game?

I could use a couple of tubs…

A tub is a class set, barely. I've done activities that really need 20-30 dice per student, and with 35 kids in a class that means I'd like three of those tubs. (I got 18 dice total — let's hear it for trying to innovate on less than a shoestring.)

Oh, I'm sure they have loads of educational uses - we do a radioactivity activity that needs 100 dice, for example - they're wooden cubes with one black face, not real dice, but we could use 100D6 instead.
