RPG legend has it that dice have a will and personality of their own. 
Some dice are good and serve their master well, while others are evil 
and like to roll badly. Some gamers believe that dice can be influenced 
toward good or evil, either by using a system of rewards and punishments 
to encourage the proper behavior, or by grouping new dice with good old 
dice so that the old dice can "train" the new ones to have the same 
behavior.

With that said, I'll leave the reader to decide exactly what's happening 
here... ;)

I agree. They would take a long time to render, though.

*If* I ever get this scene finished - since I have a nasty tendency to 
not finish scenes - there will be area lights.

You should stick in a D12 and a D4 in the background to give that RPG
feel...

Agreed. My feeble trig isn't up to modeling them, though (well, possibly 
the D4).
