I remember rolling my (RPG) dice collection trying to get the highest number on each to see how long it would take. Roll whole collection, remove maximums, repeat. I also did a variation where I'd roll everything, and take the lower dice and add them to the higher dice. Anything that maxed out was out of the reroll. Repeat. It was great as a kid. You could watch movies or TV while doing it too.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
She needs more d24s. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd really, don't we all have more dice than we need?
ReplyDeleteI'm not even sure where she got it, Jen Brinkman!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter thinks all my dice ARE her dice. I'm starting to find things all over the house...
ReplyDeleteShe learned it from watching you, Dad!
ReplyDeleteExcellent use of her time. Always important to perform a regular dice inventory.

ReplyDeleteNerd.
ReplyDeletelooks like you need to get her a d30. Also, she almost has enough six sided dice to play warhammer 40k.
ReplyDeleteNot quite though.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the "non-#" dice?
ReplyDeleteEmoticon dice, weather dice, playing card dice, animal dice...anything with pictures instead of numbers.
ReplyDeleteGotcha. Wondered for a min if you'd given her a bunch of blank dice. That'd be mean...and funny.
