Dice Explained

Unlike Dungeons and Dragons, we strive to make the tabletop RPG genre as easy to understand as possible without making postential players feel like idiots.

Learning the basics is important for all systems of play and as such  we will be starting there.

Dice
In the table top role play world, there are a vast number of dice. We are here to guide you about what these odd dice are here for.

This is the most common dice is the six sided die. I am safe in assuming that most everyone has seen one. In the table top world this die is called the d6.

The lowest denomination is the four sided die. This is called the d4. Always keep track of your d4 for it is like a miniature caltrop.

The next denomination after the d6 is the d8, the eight sided die.

After the d8 is the d10, a ten sided die. There are two types of d10 die. Both are called percentile die. One is the 1 through ten, also known as the basic d10. The second is your 10 through 100. This is base ten percentile die.

Next, and if you are really luck to get a weapon with this damage die, the d12 or twelve sided die.

Finally, the most important die you will ever roll, the d20. This die is the most important die of the game and has even named a gaming system. The very system that we are using.

For the rest of the wiki will refer to the dice used in the d# format
