Come On.

My school banned the use of the word "dice" because it is related to gambling.  We gotta call them "number cubes" now.  Discuss... I dunno overprotective schools or something.

You might as well ban "cards" too. (Replace with 'Shape Number Paper')
And "chips". (Replace with 'Skinny Circular Things')
And "money". (Replace with 'Those Pieces Of Paper With The Dead Guys On It'.)

Re: Come On.

Lol really? That is a silly thing to do. Never heard of something like that before. What about dice you use in school sometimes?

Then they're called the extremely unimaginative name of "number cubes".

Re: Come On.

I wish schools would start caring about important things instead of stuff like this. My school spent alot of the money on building a square. Meanwhile, there was a bee infestation that they knew about.

Dice are better than number cubes, totally.
What if you're roleplaying in your free time?
What if your dice have 20 SIDES???

Re: Come On.

Because using dice will always make you into an obsessive gambler.

Always.

Now that you say that... this topic reminds me of Dave's modus, too.
