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.

Which can you play without (a d20 or role-play)?

Both, I can enjoy a wargame on the tactical level without d20s just fine.

Due to scarcity of polyhedrals. Apparently the original BX D&D sessions in Japan that would become Lodoss War were played with d6s instead.

Didnt the original D&D box come with numbered counters instead of dice?

Quote from: Shawn Driscoll;893528If you had to choose one to get rid of in an RPG session, would you choose the d20 die or would you choose the role-play?

You know how they say there's no such thing as a stupid question?

They lied.

You're such a pussy. You know you'll suck no matter how you answer. Yes, this question was probably aimed at your crap play style and how no one gives a rat's Patreon about you.

Well, since to play a role-playing game you should role-play by definition, I would have to say the d20.

(You do understand that most versions of Traveller do not use the d20, don't you?)
"Meh."

You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: those with d20 dice and those who roleplay. You dig.

You should go to GaryCon.  Period.
