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.

Why in God's name does DCC require oddball dice, when i already own hundreds of dice?

Jesus fuck, just download the Crawler Companion app for your phone and stop complaining about the dice. It's the best RPG app ever made AND it has a dice roller for all the damn dice.

Also, what kind of gamers complain about dice?

Because there's not such a thing as having too many dice? :D

Your tone sucks somewhat; but I just downloaded the crawler app you mentioned, and it does indeed rock.  Thanks!!!  Good recommendation, for sure.

It sounds so illicit! Contraband funky dice and unlicensed snack food sellers. :p All we need is tax cheat soda resellers and we can make gaming outré and cool again! :D

Quote from: RPGPundit;1096943The weirdo dice are cool.

But if you don't want to own them, you can download the Crawler Companion App for free, and use its dice roller.


Yes, it is a good solution.  Good app to have, regardless.

I'm not completely antithetical towards "weird" dice, but then again I still consider D20s/D12s/D4s weird.

I like the "regulars," particularly D6s. They make me feel like I can game anywhere at any time; buy a set at the gas station for 2 bucks, or steal some from a rarely-used Yahtzee set (I've done this before).

That said, I've never had a 'problem' buying weird dice for any game, really. Should they interest me enough to want to play, that is. I vastly prefer physical dice to digital rollers so I certainly understand people not wanting to take the plunge if they're living in a place that makes ordering dice a somewhat exorbitant endeavor.

Yes, using Platonic solids besides the old D6 was fun back in 1974. But I'm not playing games today for dice nostalgia. In fact the last two games I've GMed only use D6s.

Quote from: finarvyn;1097287I have a similar thought about e-mails. Charge a person a tenth of a penny per e-mail. I'll bet that most of us would hardly notice the cost, which would probably be only a couple of bucks per year for many of us. But when a SPAMmer wants to send our crap to 100,000 people it would cost them $100. That would probably solve the SPAM problem, too.
Hey your lawn looks pretty good. What are you using to keep down the dandelions? :)

I want at least half the charge to the sender to go to the receiver, i.e. to me. If junk mailers want to pester me they should pay me for the privilege. Then let's do the same thing for robocalls, only up the charge from $.001 per piece to $.10 per call. Then we can also go back to saying stuff like "It's your dime, talk!"

I was wondering this myself.  I had all the odd dice before DCC came out, in fact everyone in our RP group does, just because we had to have them.

Between the Name Table, Title Table, Occupation and Trained Weapon Table,  Fumbles Table, Critical Hit Tables, etc.; I can see some spontaneous DCC inspired gaming in my near future, even if I don't embrace the entire DCC ruleset.

Crap.  I bought the book.  Then I downloaded the crawler phone app.  Now I've ordered a set of the 14 different dice.  This stuff is like a disease!!!

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.
