~Rattle the Bones~

[Video Description: Tristan, a black and white cocker spaniel, stands furiously wagging in a kitchen. A hand rattles two large 10-sided dice, and offers them to Tristan, and a voice says "rattle the bones." Tristan takes both dice and drops them on the floor, looking at them as if to read the numbers. The voice says "Good boy!" and the hand gives Tristan a carrot, which he munches.

After Tristan finishes his carrot, he looks at the dice again and boops them both with his nose. The voice says, "Hand them to me." Tristan picks up one and kicks the other. He drops the first die but picks it up again, and places it in the hand. The voice says, "Good boy! And the other one." Tristan looks where he kicked the second die, picks it up, turns around mouthing it noisily, and drops it into the hand. The voice says, "Good boy!" A carrot is broken with a snap sound and tossed to Tristan, who catches it.]

Playing some D&D in about an hour. What color dice should I use today?

(for future reference) I find the Koplow double dice work best in my automatic dice roller. The color is a bit bland, but the rolling experience is unparalleled.

#tristan #cocker spaniel #rattle the bones #automatic dice roller #koplow double dice #very nice rattley noise #gotta get him a little table to roll his dice on #teach him 'critical hit roll again'#he hands them back too #very coniderate fellow #d10 #d100 #he also has d20s and d6s

~Tristan rattles his brain cells like dice, then consults a lookup table to determine what he'll do next.~

A new trick for Tristan! From the end of our first session, where he was shown the dice and started to learn to take and drop them. He's doing so well already. I'll eventually teach him a phrase for the whole trick. "Rattle the bones," perhaps?

[Video Description: A hand holds two large ten-sided dice toward Tristan, a black and white cocker spaniel. A voice says, "Take." Tristan takes one die; the voice says "and drop," Tristan drops the die with a rattling sound. The voice says "Good boy!" and the hand offers the second die, voice saying "take." Tristan boops the die instead of taking it. 😁 The hand rattles the die and offers it again, voice saying "take." Tristan takes the die. Voice says "and drop." Tristan drops the die, voice says "Good boy!" and Tristan immediately snatches up the first one from the floor. 😂 The voice says "take, and drop!" Tristan drops the die again, and the voice says "Good BOY!" Tristan looks at the dice like he's checking his roll 😉 and begins to sit.]
