He was never a great comedian so I can't imagine he's a great acrobat.

At least he's getting work.

If ever there was a time for a nat 20...

Dealing dreams and destruction to a pattern plagued world.

I thought gambling with dice was illegal.

Homeless guys here in Detroit get busted for it all the time.

d10, d20, percential? what's the saving throw? come on reporters how about some details.

"How do we settle this?"

"Roll for initiative..."

It had to happen in politics eventually. This year's NFL Draft order was actually determined by two separate coin-toss tiebreakers.

Two guys rolled a d6. Rose rolled a 4, DiConza a 1.

Rose's troop killed DiConza's, and took the territory. Now Rose gets the continent's income on his next turn, if he still controls every territory in the continent. Or be on the school board.

Where's the Mountain Dew?

This would also be the perfect time for a random encounter.

wait, what? Why are encounters 1 through 3 all "mass shooting"? Oh, this is from the Mayan Apocalypse expansion.

Actually all kinds of various contest are decided with a dice roll, some with a coin flip.
So, this is sorta news, but not really.

good god. just thinking about sorting through the calcuations for the initative roll with Empire chills my sole. I do love me some rivit counting games but not so much with Empire. Gimme some SeeKrieg5 anyday though.

Rolling ANYTHING Rifts. I've played RPGs for a while, but when we wanted to try out Rifts, we looked at the first rules of the description of character and we all did a "nope" look and put the book back in the shelf.

That being said, Deadlands (Hell on Earth) is prety cool.

*pushes glasses up on nose*

That's a DIE roll, not a DICE roll.

They missed out on a golden opportunity

I put my résumé on the Dice roll. Never got a job from it.

Did anyone roll a crit?

oryx		2012-12-18 08:07:44 PM

I hope they used a dice tower or cup. Dice rolled by hand can be manipulated.

Fine, your pod racer for the boy. It matters not, you are going to lose anyway.

/hot like the Bronx in August

gwennthered		2012-12-18 09:34:27 PM

If you roll a 1, doesn't your head also explode or something?

Critical miss.

I donated some dice games (farkle) to a homeless shelter and wondered if that was a problem.
