Well, I must admit I started thinking about this question last night and
pulled out the dice from the bag I take to gaming sessions and countered
the ones actually present in the bag at this momment - 491. I suppose the
guys are right when they claim it is a bit excessive.

I can imagine that they have trouble finding enough space for their
character sheets on the table after you unleash that avalanche of
dice :).

"Hey, didn't John say he would play this evening, so where is he?"
"He was there a second ago just over there..."

All players look with a rising feeling of horror towards the mountain
of dice now covering John's last known position.

"Oh my God! Get digging!"
