As for a bag, I'll leave that to someone else.

Shit, that's exactly what my dice bag is
Yeah, I had not touched the stuff when I got my first bag. I have since then.
On topic though, Chessex is the big supplier of dice and I generally used them... but after testing the gamescience dice with some friends at the local shop I was surprised to see a better variety of rolls on the game science dice compared to the Chessex dice. I have used them since then. Buying Chessex is not bad and it won't ruin your game, I just think the game science dice are a better quality and I had the money to drop on some.
Dwarven stone dice, I ended up getting the bone dice and a leatherbound D&D players guide for a christmas present for someone.
Q-Workshop hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'll throw that out there.

They have some pretty cool designs, if you like that kind of thing.
Edit: Oh, and on the dice bag thing: chainmail bags are pretty badass. They are, obviously, quite sturdy and people are always impressed by them. Because I make chainmail as a hobby, I made one for myself a while back and pretty much every time somebody sees one at a game I end up selling them one. I know you can buy them online, so take a look around.
Always have a second or 3 set of dice for when those situations happen. When you end up tightrope walking over a pit of acid and your survival is dependant on a dex roll, but all you have is the legendary D20 "Shitroll" which was forged in the mines of SUCK, you will be happy when you can grab another. Its not luck its the gods.
Go with the GameScience Dice.
Dice polishing in tumblers and sanders is what causes "lucky" and "shit" dice. Unpolished dice don't suffer from this.
They are going to be sharp. They don't travel far while rolling so its hard to roll them off the table.
They have one little blemish on a face where the mold injection took place but this blemish does nothing to unbalance the weight or surface area distribution.

It bypasses the need for your "Dice Gods"

blasphemy!
You're making it a bigger thing than it really is.
I can see how not having sharp edges on the dice could cause some problems.
Especially if you decide to cut yourself after a bad roll.
Only if you throw them at each other like my friends and I do
Also, I would punish my dice (for show of course) by freezing them in ice cubes or microwaving them.
True probability is best. :P
Also it's free.
Now I need new friends to game with.
Well, how about a comic book store? Got one of those? they may have dice
That's good, because what the hell are they thinking? That's just ridiculous and shame on them for soliciting orders in such a way, obviously some people are making orders that way if they're doing it and not realizing how dumb it is.
I have had a few dice bags, including the oblig. Crown one, and right now I have a non-descript blue bag that is similar to those but rather large, it was what a coffee go-cup came in and I use the bag more than the cup.
Good move on getting more than a basic set, your dice bag should pull double-duty and serve as a weapon in a pinch.
Yeah, a cube of smaller d6s is great when you play a lot of different games as well, such as Shadowrun or WEG Star Wars or Warhammer etc. etc.
That thing would roll for ages.
I was playing an Elf Wizard focusing on Evocation spells. I bought a big pack of D6s just for my fire damage.
I also try to roll certain damages with color co-ordinated dice to help out with resistances.
Fire - Red, Ice - Blue, Holy - White, etc.
I have a ton of dice so it works pretty well.

To be fair, they mention on their order page that if you're not comfortable with email you can call and place your order over the phone.
I'm really wanting to buy new dice now. I just started playing V:tM and my 4d10 just aren't cutting it.
I don't even play D&D anymore...
