A dice cup is a scripted gaming prop that consists of a cup (or similar container) with one or more dice inside. The number of dice inside can be changed by a merchant to accommodate different types of dice-based games. It was first sold at the 2024 Premium Festival's shop Rakish Accoutrement.
Analyze
This is a container that holds five six-sided dice (5d6). It supports the following verb traps:
SHAKE - Roll the contents of the maple dice cup in secret, with only you seeing the result.
RAISE - Reveal your previous roll to everyone in the room.
PLUCK - Remove one die from the cup and set it aside.
TOSS - Toss all dice previously set aside back into the cup.
LOOK - Remind yourself what you last rolled.
SHOW - Show somebody else what you last rolled.
Currently, the dice inside look like "copper-inset jade dice". A skilled merchant may be able to change the appearance of the dice.
The appearance of a curly maple dice cup may be changed so long as it remains a container with a removable lid that is capable of containing one or more dice.
A skilled merchant may be able to change the number of dice within the container or the number of sides the dice have.
