The Big Blue dice are for damage in Hero System, or Die Pools in games like Shadowrun or the Star Wars / Ghostbusters D6 system. I like to think they roll high.
The White dice are for half dice in Hero System, or Wild Dice in games like the Star Wars / Ghostbusters D6 System. I also like to think they roll high.
The smaller multi-colored dice replaced my lost (sob) black dice with red pips for rolling low in Hero System, for all the attack rolls and skill rolls.
I pack a pair of unusual D10s for percentile rolls and the odd need for a D20 or D10 in any given game.
I loved bringing this around as a compact dice set for conventions and games at friends' houses. Gone were the days when I used to bring around huge stacks of dice; I always knew exactly which dice I had to have with me when I went home.
I like games that only require six-siders, like WEG Star Wars (1st edition, as 2nd is nowhere near as good!) and Ghostbusters (same comment) and Justice Inc. But I can't stand Hero System when it gets into double-digits of six-siders needing to be counted multiple times just to resolve Stun and Body damage.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has some six-siders, even if they're borrowed from Risk or Monopoly.
