The d5 is half a d10, like 1-2 = 1, 2-3 = 2, and so on. The best solution for the d7 is roll a d8 and re-roll 8's. Not too cool, but much easier than trying to procure a d7. The d14 is a d7 rolled along with a d6. If the d6 comes up 1-3, do nothing more, read the d7 as it rolled. If the d6 comes up 4-6, add +7 to the d7 roll. The d16 is the same, but with a d8, and add +8 if the d6 is 4-6. Lastly is the d30. Roll a d10 and a d6. If the d6 is 1-2, read the d10 as-is. If it is 3-4, add +10, and if it is 5-6, add +20. It's not nearly as complicated as it reads. When I first started playing the "d20" had 20 sides, but they were numbered 0-9 twice. We simulated the d20 with the d6 "adder" like I give you here, so I am completely familiar with the method.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820010482226879079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604481147223427499.post-57027364427428404722012-10-14T08:32:50.604-05:002012-10-14T08:32:50.604-05:00The weird dice are needed but you can getaway with...The weird dice are needed but you can getaway with a spinner or a set of cards.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604481147223427499.post-59850314414699099512012-10-14T06:44:35.386-05:002012-10-14T06:44:35.386-05:00Sounds great.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to get DCC dice here in the UK.Lee Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127805337560546059noreply@blogger.com
