sure, as long as you have seen its affects. I.E. they are not just cool looking dice, but actually get good rolls :)

Heh, my Daughter.
When she was with me, watching me play at a gathering at my friend's house, I was rolling on average a 9. Critical hits were coming easier, and I was pretty much cruising through the game.
THEN.....
Madison fell asleep...:( And when she laid down on the couch and fell asleep, my worst nightmare came to pass. Critical hits against me, and I was averaging a roll of 4-5, and critical misses were happening instead of the critical hits.
Didnt win a single game after she fell asleep. Didnt even put up a decent fight.....

Well, i use these two dice. They are both white regular ones except on it somewhat rounded and the other is completely square. They work very well with me usually. I have only had one game where they didnt work well for me, but every other game they have worked well for me.

I dont use those ####py white dice that Wizkids provides to you. I call those "Dice of Critical Failures".
I bought myself a box of Jade/Gold dice from chessex, the kind that come with like 36 dice.... I seem to do pretty well with these. I dont use the Same Pair for every roll, but I always use these dice. I hate those white ones.

My special Milk & Cheese/Madman dice that was a send away offer from Wizard some years back. I keep meaning to use them (or at least bring them with me!) but keep forgetting to.

I also use chessex dice(1 Blue Borealis/1 Mother Of Pearl).I would have to say my lucky charm is any SHIELD Team member.Those Medics,Agents,Troopers,and Snipers are my godsends! They have pulled my bacon out of the frying pan more than anything.

My good luck charm is the DC museum map, I have never once lost in there. Then again, I have never won on the opposite side of that map either. Oh yeah, Nightcrawler's pretty lucky too. :)

Ahh, I can just see The Stinger now:
"Do ya want some more coffee sweetie?"
"Daddy will buy you a new Barbie if you can just stay up for one more game"
"I know it's not a Flintstones vitamin Madison; it's BETTER!"
j/k, of course
I really don't have a good luck charm per se, although I've been doing a little better since I got a Mead 1975 Fantastic Four folder off of eBay to carry around my PAC, FAQ & other play-aids ;)
ahhh, nothing like recapturing one's youth
My x-rated C3P0 card, #107, from the green Topps set circa 1977. I started using it as my good luck charm for SWCCG, and it almost never failed me. So, i carry it with me to HC and MW tourneys too!

P.S. for those who don't know what I'm talking about, this card was a misprint. The image is of 3P0 sporting a, how shall I put this... "fully functional" male organ!

My good luck charm is in my pants.
Greetings,
For good luck I use an Exp. Gorilla Grodd. I balance my Super Senses/Blades/Impervious die on the hand with the skull and set my other two dice at his feet so each has one edge lightly (lightly!) touching the bannanna base of the Monkey god of luck.
Thus far he has failed me once when another player kept picking it up, moving it around, and cooing to it in order to get the luck. I can only imagine the monkey god was punishing me for letting him be ape-handled. (My very next game, where I let no one touch him, I hit a double six with Firelord twice in a row after a probability control....ah the monkey god, how good he is.)
Regards,
Thor.

i have a lucky action token bowl. it's shaped like a screaming guy. i have never actually used it, but it seems lucky to me!

I've actually got paper good luck talismans from an old psychic sciences book. Think I'll photo-copy it and see if it actuall works. If it does, I'll post them up for trade. Maybe just for like a cheap rookie (really it's just to see if you want it badly enough. You prove yourself by going through the trouble of mailing the rookie-- say criminal-- to me. Then I mail you the talisman.) But I'm not a good judge. I don't believe in luck. That kind of screws me over by most laws of luckiness. Anyone interested?
I'm SERIOUS. This is an actual, time-honored talisman. I'll even trace the thing with my Microns for an experienced character. Of course, I would recomend the lighter trade first. See if it works, then get the hand-made one, see if that works better.
EDIT:
Never mind the "going through all the trouble" thing. How do I post a copy of the thing on HCRealms? I don't have my own webpage, so...
