This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does this game take special dice?

I'm considering buying the latest edition. But I have found information on the dice the game uses to be rather thin.

No. The 2nd edition only uses the d20, and you'll want at least 5, but probbly more if you don't want to hand the dice around from player to player.

It does actually.  It uses custom D6 challenge dice with special symbols for damage and effects.  These can be substituted for a regular D6 with minimal effort though.  It's a bit like Genesys where effect symbols can be traded for various rules effects but much less involved and complicated.

This is totally incorrect. The 2e STA does not use any dice other than d20s.

Tell us you haven't read the second edition without telling us you did.

That may have been true with the first edition of the game definitely not the second edition.
