May Cthulhu Come to Collect You, May He Bring You Madness and Pain

A friend of mine has been running a most delightful old World of Darkness campaign on game nights and I have been having lots of fun. He had us build two characters each, as he expected to have to kill us all off for one reason or another at some point... if we do something incredibly stupid. In our group, extreme acts of stupid are fairly common.

I have gazillions of dice. I need the Cthulhu dice. We also have just about all varieties and expansions of Munchkin.

The Cthulhu Dice game is pretty new, and somehow I hadn't heard about it until I found it in the game shop yesterday.

It is awesome though, and the game is silly and fast. A good thing to have in a bag or on a desk at work for those times when you're stuck waiting around or your code is compiling. :-P

Munchkin is such an awesome game. It's entertaining to me how I can get my brother to sit down and play, and there's just enough strategy to it that he doesn't automagically win with his shit house luck. :D

We've got a bunch of games, but some flavor(s) of Munchkin or Apples to Apples are the biggest crowd pleasers. (It's been many years since I've been able to commit to an RPG campaign. But I have more than enough dice if that ever changes, including bizarre sizes like d5, d7, and d14s that no one ever uses.)

Dude, I've never seen a d5, d7 or d14. The die for the Cthulhu dice game is a d12, because Steve Jackson himself felt that the d12 doesn't get enough love. The video posted on the Cthulhu Dice page is kinda entertaining.

I don't have a copy of Apples to Apples myself, but I have played it once. Michael Jackson became the joke answer of the night after I got stuck with him in my hand, and played him on something odd. We play a lot of Settlers of Catan, and Tichu on game night. We haven't been getting as many RPG sessions in lately, which makes me sad. We'd been overdosing on Battlestations, but most of the group has been getting pretty tired of it, so it's tapered off lately.
