Apropos of Nothing: Have You Seen These Dice?
A bit ago, I was gifted with a Ziploc bag full of dice. I have no idea from what game they come.
Help?
And the commenters have spoken: These be Dragon Dice.

Pretty sure you've got yourself a bag of Dragon Dice. It was an old collectable D&D dice game from TSR back when collectables games were just starting out. I myself have never tried them.
You might not believe this, but they didn't really take off.
Yes, they look like Dragon Dice to me too. Among their problems was that you could only buy random packs, and while people fell for this with Magic: The RPG Killer they didn't seem to be prepared to put up with it for something as bulky as dice, especially when you pretty much needed a themed force to get anywhere.
Glad to hear from fans of this tile pattern!
