So, Dice Towers?
Moderator: Moderators
Hm, always thought it was a recluse that bit my uncle, but after reading this I'm not quite sure. What did happen was it [the poison] ate a great big hole in his arm, and he wore this funny thing that looked like a fishnet stocking over the whole arm for close to a year. Any idea what that might have been? Northern West Virginia by the way. I don't know much about spiders because I don't....like them. Not fear, I've walked down that darkside, fear became anger, and is now borderline hate. Out of the house? Leav'm be. In the house? Smash, burn, drown, slice, cut, KILL!!!!!

I could form a lucid, logical, and wise argument to refute your statement, but instead I'm going to take the moral low-ground and call your mother a whore.

Hey guys, how about them Dice Towers eh?
Doesn't it suck when Spiders start living in your Dice Towers?

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
Dice towers would be a lot cooler if they were actually fountains. That always irked me about card shufflers, too... You had to pick up the deck and redivide it so the machine could go back to work.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.
suck? are you kidding? I imagine it'd be hilarious to see the spider freak out as you start dumping d6s in there....Kaelik wrote:Hey guys, how about them Dice Towers eh?

part of me would like it made known that it's ashamed the other part of me thinks this...
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

Anyone who has cleaned their house knows that spiders have a distinct and predictable response based upon their species. They do a threat display and take cover. If n larger than the die, they'll attack it. Web spiders spin, hopping spiders jump, hunting spiders scurry, and there's at least one type of spider which will make noise.
It's not like they do anything new.

Can't speak to spiders in dice towers, but my usual gaming space does see a stinkbug trying to camouflage itself as part of the terrain once every couple sessions in the warmer months
While they are harmless unless squished or threatened it can be kinda freaky to see what you thought was the shield or pack on the war troll fig across the table start to crawl. I have had a couple of "wait, just how many beers have I had?" moments thanks to them.

And as for what else that sort of thing can be, wikipedia says
" In fact, many wounds that are necrotic and diagnosed as brown recluse bites can actually be methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)[6] or simple staphylococcus infections. Other causes include skin cancer, Lyme disease, and other infected insect bites and skin lesions."

If it were still possibly to administer a venom test I would bet real money against it.Hm, always thought it was a recluse that bit my uncle, but after reading this I'm not quite sure.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
Hmm, neat! Pondering the idea of spiders in dice towers...I'm not the greatest with spiders other than creatively putting them out of their misery [Think less torturous like those jerks that pull legs off as much as...experimenting with flash freezing because that doesn't mar the wall up with spider guts.] I wonder how well a pet tarantula would take to having part of it's terrarium be built to a dice tower, so it can scuttle around on the outside of the 'castle' or what have you, and you can toss dice in it without actually having to contact the little bugger.

the tarantula's I've seen are more like vaguely more mobile house plants than anything in the animal kingdom. I'm sure as long as there were no danger of it getting smacked by the dice, and the sound didn't annoy it (maybe place some cushioning between the innards and outards of the dice tower to absorb sound? or use a soft-ish material inside?) the tarantula wouldn't even care...

In Australia, the white-tail spider is blamed for the necrotic doom.
And Sydney gets the funnel web (they can keep it, too). Which is hardcore enough to chase people off and attack them for getting "in the same room". Presumably because they're stupid, but maybe they just know people will run from them rather than stomp their heads in. If it bites you, it poisons you so hard your parents die.
