As your opponent, I would encourage it.

Maybe you are right. I'm finding two priorities that I need to work on, >both, and rolling dice was my first instinct. However it's pretty easy
to approximate such a dice roll. And since I just recognized the second >priority I should focus on it even more than normal to get better at it
and bring it more into play.
I'd rather not reveal any more than that. I think I've already given
away too much of my game.
The serious answer is that no tournament director would complain about
two dice simply being placed at the side of the board but would
quickly intervene if it was disturbing your opponent or other players.
Same answer if you brought your trumpet to a game - as a director I'd
never intervene if it didn't create a safety risk or disturbed any
players in the room.
(I well remember the time when a president of the Chess Federation of
Canada was playing in a tournament I was directing - well assistant
actually - and during his game his lunch reacted badly and he lurched
from the board and raced to the mens' room where the entire tournament
heard him losing his lunch. It was an excellent venue but had poor
acoustics for a tournament...he and his opponent quickly agreed to a
draw - and in fairness while the game wasn't over, it did look drawish
even if he wasn't ill)
