You can pry my polyhedrals from my cold, dead hands.<br /><br />Seriously, though, my first encounter with D&D at age 8 or so was a friend's Basic Set, and I remember being enchanted by all the weird dice. So I've preferred polyhedrals in my games ever since. I have to admit that any RPG that uses only d6s is kind of a turnoff for me right out of the gate; it comes across to me as "bland".<br /><br />(I've never played the d6 system, though, and I have a feeling I'd be okay with that, because getting to roll <i>lots</i> of d6s at once is a nice trade-off for only having one type of die.)<br /><br />One of the things I really like about <b>Dungeon World</b>, actually, is the fact that although the basic mechanic uses 2d6, you still get to roll polyhedrals for damage. Nice compromise.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-33159750608477706142013-08-28T11:05:24.328-04:002013-08-28T11:05:24.328-04:00Doh!
