A sheet of chits. They are numbered squares representing the sides of a standard polyhedral set of dice. The squares are cut out and placed in cups on the table. To roll a d20 for example, you draw a numbered square from the d20 cup. In the early days of role playing games, dice were in short supply so chits were included in games as emergency number generators.
