Editing Chits (section)

==The End of Chits==
It was a kind of clever way to get around a lack of dice, but it wasn't without problems. Cardboard and paper chits were easily spoofed and manipulated, since a player could dent or bend a corner and always get the right number they needed. Particularly unscrupulous players or [[DM]]s could sneak in an additional chit or two of good (high) or bad (low) rolls, and unless the contents of the chit-bag were counted, were unlikely to go noticed. All of this made Chits unreliable for those who didn't have players/DMs that could be trusted to ''not cheat'', or Chits that weren't the plastic/wooden varieties.

In time, D&D becoming a more-common and accepted game, and being much more mainstream caused Dice to become much more popular, and since they were more portable, easier-to-use, and less-prone to dickery than Chits were, Chits quietly faded out of existence in the 1980s. A few DMs keep a set on-hand for emergencies and old-school games, however, since drawing chits during an all-night session in a basement lit by candles during a blackout is the very definition of [[Neckbeard]]y goodness.

Chits have found a new life however in one setting: prison. Dice of any kind are banned in prison, as they could be used for gambling. So,  enterprising locked up gamers have to find some way to "roll" without getting their dice stolen by guards. Chits were an obvious solution.
