Looking for a figure (such as Buddha-type or Norse god-type) to represent a fictional dice god. The idea being to use it as a joke in my gaming group for those of us that start having bad dice,so then we can use the figure to offer sacrifice/pray to/appease,etc.--again this is meant to be good fun.
(especially as I really do pray hard to God when my dice do give out on me…..) See pic for an example of what I am looking for: [IMG i110.photobucket.com/albums/n106/thedrake70458/aslmuseummiscex16.png"link |

My mom had a brass Buddha that you put over the burning incense ans the smoke came out his mouth and nostrils.
I'm going to have to go steal this from my sister next time I'm there! |

Interesting project concept. If it were me, I'd think about getting a small resin statue of a god of some sort -- this one is nice, but a little pricey: link and then knocking off the head and replacing it with a d20. The Winged Nike of Samothrace would be another good choice: she already lacks a head, and is associated with victory… P.S.: this guy is "Little lead Apollo" as is: link |

Random Factoria – goddess of Fate, a naked half black half white yin yang female holding a cocked dice in its upstretched arms, kneeling. Just to remind us that there is luck – both good and bad! |

If you could find a hollow dice god (like a Buddha figure), you could try to convert it into a dice tower. Then all of your dice rolls would be in the hands (the belly?) of the dice god. |

I think a Weeping Buddha would be appropriate: link
He looks likes he's flubbed a few rolls of the dice:

I use a Godzilla figure as my computer god. He really just sits above my monitor. I don't make sacrifices to it, or pray to it, or anything. He's just there and when someone asks why I tell them he's my computer god. |
