>most ubiquitous die >defacto no good engines for itWhy?Why does it filter designers so hard?
Im trying to make a d6 system myself and one of the hurdles is that results can be very swingy which makes it difficult to design around
>>98826372These spam threads are so bizarre lately. I am starting to think they are made so insulting by design and not at random, just to shit on real visitors.
>>98826372OpenD6 calls you a faggot.
>>98826419Don't do the exploding die meme. Resist.
>>98826372GURPs
>>98826372There are good systems for it, just that the D6 is so common that there are more bad then good systems.>>98826685This, exploding dice is a meme. It's worse then criticals because it can keep going up and up, and if you put a cap on how many times a die can explode that is defeating the point of it. Exploding dice are good however to see how out of control a situation can get.
>>98826710>Exploding dice are good however to see how out of control a situation can get.So you're saying it's useful for a system about skaters fighting demons.
>>98826772If you want hype moments, sure. Just expect your system to be broken time to time
>>98826372https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T44LuxdH0iwhere's your game, now feck off
>>98826435These always pop up when a bunch of p*ck** threads are on page 10 so I'm guessing it's a strategy of fighting spam with spam

>>98826372Make a system for it, then, since you think it's so easy.
>>98826419have you tried using more than one die for a roll
>>98826435>>98826951Mining the Chans was the sop manual for making 4chan in general such garbage it wouldn't feel threatening. This was 5 years ago. Some of it will be bots, some of it will be politically motivated shitheads who think all nerds are some sort of chud. Some of it will be garden variety trolls or barely well intentioned idiots who failed janitor applications.
>>98827383>out of context screenshot
>>98827383That XKCD comic about how we could be killed wasn't far off the mark. They just got the fandom wrong.
>>98826372>stats go from 1 to 5>roll (equal or) under system>if 6, roll again, if 6 again, critical failure, everything else is normal failureliterally all you need btw
>>98828209>bot can't contextualize discussions of spam lol >>98828306>looks it up huh not bad
>>98826372It doesn’t support the consumerist dice set obsession that hooks tourists. Most wargames just use d6s because it’s obviously more sensible.>>988264193d6 is just a straight up superior version of d20, especially because it works out much more stable in scores with a normal rather than a flat distribution. Ironically this makes it far more sensible to use in something like dnd because the heckin epic critical successes and failures (18s and 3s respectively in this system) would actually be rare enough to merit something crazy happening, it is literally more than ten times less likely to happen than getting the lowest scores on a d20
>>98828520>literally all you need btw1D6 can't handle random tables with more than six outcomes.It also can't handle tables with more than three outcomes at different probability ranges.
>>98828987>1D6 can't handle random tables with more than six outcomes.of course it can lol a table with 6 columns with 60 lines (360 options), roll = column, current second = line>It also can't handle tables with more than three outcomes at different probability ranges.ofc it can, see above and expand
>>98828306>That XKCD comic about how we could be killedWhich one anon?
>>98826419Just play Blackjack with the d6 except the "bust" is 12 or more.
>>98828987>>98829007you can also just limit your self to 6 abstract outcomes and you know just be creative
>>98829007One roll can't handle all that.That's multiple rolls.
>>98829019I'll think about that when I'm figuring out a system for collaborative writing.But as far as games go, I need something more concrete and engaging than that.
>>98826372Uh guys, I don't think they're talking about the d6. There's a coin in the center.
>>98829112A coin isn't a die.
>>98829098>One roll can't handle all that.sure it can>That's multiple rolls.no>roll 4>check time during rolling>7h 49m 53s 164549 ms >53 16 45 49...>>98829104sure, and its totally ok for you to think that, but to say its impossible or bad... it literally just works
>>98829401>check timeYou're using more than 1D6 in that case.>literally just worksFor a limited range of 1-6 outcomes and no room for arrays it just works, yes.
>>98829430>You're using more than 1D6 in that case.true, you would have to use something to stop time and check, but time was just an exampleif you know the cardinal directions you can mark the edges of each face of the die and when you roll you can get 24 results from 1d6. by counting bounces and other stuff you can also modify the roll. so there are other solutions that can expand the range of a d6 that dont involve using anything else but knowledge or what you are seeing
>>98829445>using more extra shit-> >>98828520>literally all you need btw? ? ?
>>98829450>1d6 + your brain>wtf you have to use your brain??

>>98826372I know two good base systems with d6.> 3d6+mod vs TN, nat 6s add bonus effectsThe game's not THAT good, but the dice roll is awesome. Fragged Empires.> [skill rank]d6, pick highest, mostly opposed.Dream Pod 9 uses it everywhere (Heavy Gears, incredible game), as well as Blades in the Dark (meh).
>>98826372Hey retard, it's not the 80s anymore. Getting other kinds of dice is trivially easy.
