Episode 1221: d-iced

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Playing groups all have their house rules for what to do when a die lands in an awkward position, cocked on the edge of a book, or fallen on the floor, or what have you. But there is always the fear that one day a die might land in a configuration or position not covered by the existing rules.

The solution of course is to make your dice rules as exhaustive as possible, to cover any conceivable situation! Because being overly prescriptive and pedantic about rules is what gaming is all about!
