A use for the d12 in your fantasy games.  Many wonderful ideas to use.  I got this like from a friend on Google+.

Favorite Dice Mechanics

There are a lot of great games out there using a variety of dice mechanics. Once upon a time, I wrote up how to use the Alternity dice mechanic in Risus.  I wrote up using the Saga card-based system too.

I also have a soft spot for percentile-based system.  D100 is just fun.  Perhaps my favorite for that was Amazing Engine (especially the bit where you checked the one’s digit to see if you had a critical success or failure).  I don’t know if it could be made to work with Risus or not, but I still like it.

Do you have a favorite dice mechanic?

A reddit post detailing a groups first run through with Risus. Sounds like they had an amazing time.

Why you don’t use thermonuclear devices in an RPG. There’s not a lot of fun involved.

There have been 5 great adventures submitted so far. Do you have what it takes to build a whole Risus adventure in one page? Just 2 days left.
