Today, most RPG players have a good collection of d4s, d6s, d8s, d10s, d12s, d20s, and probably even at least one d30. There is really no good reason, IMHO, for a game to use even more odd dice. Especially since the above collection can be used to emulate a large number of other dice with one roll: d2s, d3s, d5s, d16s, d24s, d32s, d36s, d40s, d48s, etc.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-681872794363829712011-06-08T19:54:59.870-04:002011-06-08T19:54:59.870-04:00Those were my thoughts too.

They bring back just a little bit of old school magic back from when we thought d12s, d4s and d20s were funky :)<br /><br />They only really make an appearance during Character Generation (unless they're in the magic section too, which I haven't fully read and digested yet) and can easily be replicated with regular dice (need d30? Roll a d20. If it's 11-20, roll a d6. If it comes up 5-6, add 10 to the roll), or an online dice generator.greywulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753572374090192209noreply@blogger.com
