Ten sided dice are an abomination onto Classical Geometry and not to be tolerated.<br /><br />Seriously though, I think percentile systems are overkill when it comes to having a nice statistical spread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-16462465356407950982011-11-08T21:11:45.548+00:002011-11-08T21:11:45.548+00:00Somehow I always enjoy wargames and tabletop minia...Somehow I always enjoy wargames and tabletop miniature games where there are weird dice and weird numbers. <br />For those readers who use the iphone, I like the Crit app from Treeness, gives you a whole pocket of dice from d4 to d00. Helpful when the dicebox is on the far side of the table and there's no room to roll a bunch of dice.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-70909763328089159682011-11-08T17:06:17.662+00:002011-11-08T17:06:17.662+00:00Well, if you roll 10-sided dice, then you've g...Well, if you roll 10-sided dice, then you've got both.<br /><br />(actually, all dice are polyhedral, unless you could figure out some way to stretch one into a Moebius strip)<br /><br />I like the granularity of percentile results. They can be subtle and give a chance for quite unlikely events to occur (the Golden BB we discussed a while back, for example). <br /><br />I use it usually for random events tables (and you can do it with six-siders, you just get 66 equally possible outcomes instead of 100), but often the problem with these systems is that the modifiers can get out of hand.<br /><br />So, as usual, the answer is "it depends."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
