The dice that I thought had been stolen many years ago have been found.  I must have stashed them away and forgotten they were there.

My wife, while looking for something else, found a plain white box which held an old USA puzzle that I used to play with as a kid, some Yahtzee scorepads and a set of standard issue Yahtzee dice, and a whole bunch of polyhedrons.

The original red dice that came with the Basic D&D set are in there--the ones made of plastic so soft that the corners rounded off as you used them.  Plus two or three full sets of other polys that I used for DMing, and my special two sets, one white and one transparent--and set apart in a small leather dice bag, that I used when I was a PC instead of the DM.

Also there are 2d6 that are black with a skull and crossbones in place of the one-dot.  I don't remember where they came from.  I probably picked them up because they looked cool or something.

Now I guess I can start teaching the kids how to play Call of Cthulhu.
