Demon Dice, originally published as Chaos Progenitus, is a collectible dice game created by Lester Smith (designer of the better-known Dragon Dice) and Tim Brown. In it, each player controls a demon made of 13 dice representing body parts (or magical items wielded by those parts), which battles the other player's demon. The original Chaos Progenitus version presented the concept of these dueling fiends seriously; when the game was republished as Demon Dice by Fast Forward Games (which has since gone out of business), the idea was given a humorous spin, styling the players as "Demon Creation Specialists, Junior Grade" in the bureaucracy of Hell. Neither version of the game was a great commercial success, though they retain a small and loyal fanbase.

Famous quotes containing the words demon and/or dice:
“The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? You may say the wisest thing you can, old man,—you who have lived seventy years, not without honor of a kind,—I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The dice of God are always loaded. The world looks like a multiplication-table, or a mathematical equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
