I’m going to be completely honest: I understand the probability distribution is better and lots of d6 systems are more elegant and better balanced than d20 systems.
However, my love for fancy math rocks almost always keeps me coming back to d20 systems…
I really like the Genesys dice system. It sucks that they’re proprietary dice, but you get them in various shapes and colors and it feels good to just roll a big handful of them. The main appeal is that you get something more interesting than a pass/fail result.
Flat distribution is great when you want swingy results and the drama that comes with it, and bell curves when you want a “realistic” chance of your character succseeding on a task roll.
Yeah. DCC holds an appeal for me specifically because you get to roll D7s, D16s, D24s, etc.
…yep, ever if our fantasy campaigns were to stray from fifth-edition lingua-franca, DCC’s zocchi dice tug at my deviant heartstrings something fierce…
Why can’t you switch away from 5e? DCC’s rules are quite simple and there’s a free Quick-Start
It’s that way with d10s for me. I see a nice-looking set of D&D dice and I pass it up because I know that I will basically never really use exotic dice like d12 or d8. Or d6, actually.
Look, what I’m saying is that they should sell pretty sets of 100d10 for those of us who play Exalted 2E.
Gotta say rolling a bunch of d6s in Shadowrun is pretty satisfying every now and then.
Don’t think I’ve used a d6 system but I love a d10 system but also, shiny rocks are shiny.
That’s why there’s also other dice pooling systems, like Ironclaw’s system, which pools d4s through d12s for every check.
