About Story Cubes
My first contest used a standard set of Rory's Story Cubes. @Robyneggs uses these in her poetry contests, too, so go check out her page.
This contest uses a different set called Voyages. I eventually intend to also get an Actions set so I can roll a batch of dice borrowing some from each set.
These dice are about 3/4" (19mm) across each face, and each set came with a small drawstring pouch about 3" (75mm) wide and 4" (100mm) tall. They cost somewhere around $8 each. There is also a small instruction sheet with suggestions for games with kids or party icebreaker activities.
I have used these dice on a few occasions and can say that kids and adults alike can be readily encouraged to use these for creating crazy stories. I plan to try using them in my library outreach programs to inspire storytelling events at retirement homes, too. Needless to say, I recommend them highly.

my PDC3K contest using the classic story dice above. 1rst Place - 5 STEEM.This is a cool initiative @jacobtothe. I am glad you are widening the story dice avenues for art and inspiration. It is important not to limit oneself. And yes, if you like poetry, check out
I see the amoeba shape and musical notes. Which was the third die you referenced?
I was trying to refer to the first die with the pattern around the notes. Sorry if I misinterpreted it (or if my reference isn't well enough incorporated).
It's fine now that I see it!
Lol, okay (I'll make them bigger if I use that symbol again)!
What's the deadline? I will try to come up with something tonite...!
You have plenty of time. The contest ends when the announcement post pays out so I know how many bonus Steem Dollars are available.
Here's my entry! https://steemit.com/storycubes/@scribblingramma/salty-adventures
And the first contest entry is confirmed!
This looks like fun. It reminds me of how Philip K Dick wrote his books, consulting the I Ching to decide what to do whenever he reached a fork in the plot.
Here's my Entry... writing multiple short stories using one Cube each, not really sure it's valid but I think it is:

#GooglyPrize meets #storycubes...
I'll comment again when I've posted my entry.
Don't let time run out on you! But if it does, I plan to post a new contest when this one concludes, so more opportunities should arise.
thanks for the reminder!
I've still got it lodged in the back of my head... all 9 symbols make a very short story, I just need ONE image to go along...
~48hrs left yeah... I think I should be able to get it done today.
P.S.: I also just awarded a new #GooglyPrize last night, some awesome winners there!

This is my story I am using all the cubes starting from the beginning of the cubes. and this is a true story.
I have been addicted to opioids for years and years now. the other day I had an idea to just quit taking my meds cold turkey. I found out really fast that this is harder then I thought it would be. So I lay around the house just listening to music and trying not to get sick all over the place. The withdrawals feel like you caught a germ or the flue but way worse. this is the second day without any thing and I just feel like I might die. my stomach feels like i'm on a boat in the middle of the ocean. I can't wait for this to be over. I feel like I am running on empty. Hopefully someday I can feel free from this pain and feel as free as a squid in the ocean. because if i stay on drugs my whole life I will end up working in a circus. or being the main attraction at the circus.
well this was my attempt at the cube story.
Post that on your own blog with the #storycubes tag and you will be in the running!
Here is my short story entry! =)
