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.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence.

Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
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!

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.
