And don't forget temprature. My dice don't roll good unless they are
hand
warmed. Anything less than 90 deg. f.  I always have to hold the dice
(cuddle them? I hadn't thought of it that way) for an extended period of
time before they roll correctly.

I always bring dice (you can never have too many). What else I bring
will
depend on what I am going to play. I usually bring my FT ships in hopes
of
running a spontainous game. If I know that I am going to be in a
specific
game, I usually bring a rule book or two (these are always in short
supply).
