Thaddeus Mitchell has played Dungeons and Dragons for 4 years and is a philosophy major attending Utah State University.

When someone who plays Dungeons and Dragons buys himself a set of personal dice it is considered a rite of passage.
Text
S: Can you tell me about the first set of dice you got?
They are actually my clear dice! I bought them in a gaming shop with Scott back in Tooele. I’ve had them for about 3 or 4 years.
S: Why did you want your own dice?
Because it gave me a sense of belonging in the group. I think it was a reason to propel myself forward and pursue the game. Having ones own dice is part of the game I suppose.
