I want a TG music thread so that a) I can post my old CRPG dungeoncrawling playlists and b) I can mock the terribly corny power metal that will be posted.

Mustache Ride posted:What the hell is kofi and why isn't it patreon? It’s a community supported Patreon competitor that has less integrations but also lower barrier to entry. Patreon has been struggling, it seems, with being able to keep the lights on and it’s been causing their rake from membership fees to the creators rising, quite possibly because they have a lot of expensive integrations with other services. It also has a membership only model instead of being able to set up a tip jar, which ko-fi has with an option to “go gold” for a monthly fee that allows monthly subscriptions for supporters as well as some other benefits. Generally speaking I was thinking I want to release all the content I’ve been working on to a public and accessible format and any proceeds that I get from people would go to hiring an editor or getting content to supplement the other writing stuff I’m doing. Still working on what that looks like since I don’t have a content calendar or anything, I just write about what I wanna write about and throw it in here since I just wanna write about games stuff

Does anyone here have any ideas about fairly rolling a d110 in person? My first thought was basically 1: roll a d10. if it comes up 0, go to 3. otherwise go to 2. 2: roll a d100. that's the result, end 3: roll a d10, add 100, that's the result, end but i think that makes results of 101-110 slightly more likely than they would be if the d110 was truly random. maybe instead: roll d12, ignore results of "12", subtract 1, multiply by ten, add d10? does that track correctly like i think it does?

I'd just roll 3d10 and then drop the third die if not relevant. You're going to get weird results if you do those other things and if you were interested in looking at a curve then take a look at Anydice, which shows you the probability of getting one number over another.

FFT posted:Does anyone here have any ideas about fairly rolling a d110 in person? Those are all gonna be super weird. (I’m assuming you want a flat spread and not a curve of these weird numbers for reasons.) Just do it in Python or something. It’s like 4 lines of code and your phone can do it. What are you doing?

FFT posted:re: what i'm doing with a d110: Preroll your rolls using an online die roller, and then put them into a notebook somewhere that can be accessed offline if you're not using electronics at your table to go with the list I'm sure you have printed out. If you intend to make the players roll this physically then just do whatever's clever.

Look at a clock with a second hand. # of Seconds, add 60 if the number of seconds is odd. Reroll if it's 111-120. Or...Yawgmoth posted:get rid of ten of them and roll a d100

If you really, really must do this arbitrary number at the table and it must be physical dice rather than something electronic, just roll a d12 for one digit and a d10 for the other and re-roll if it's not a possible result. It's a random item table, so I doubt it comes up much. It doesn't skew the math like doing some weird stuff and just means sometimes you have to roll again cause you don't have a d11.

Platonic solids marked with a unique integer in a range from 1 to the number of sides on each face are dice. The ""d10"" is an abomination.

Yeah (d12-1) for the tens/hundreds, rerolling 12's, and d10 for the ones is probably the most efficient way you'll find. Every other method I'm coming up with leads to more rerolling.

Tulip posted:You printed it? Fairness Neutral Structure Radical identified in the wild??? Edit: I've actually seen Fairness Radical Structure Radical in the wild, come to think of it. The kids I run D&D for, before they had ever played the real game, would play what they called "Campfire D&D" on camping trips. Rules resolution consisted of saying you were doing something, and the DM picking a number in their head between 1 and X, and if you guessed the number or within a certain range of the number, you did the thing. I can only imagine what the ratio of "fair adjudication" to "shameless cheating" must have been for 10-11 year olds given that job. Kestral fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Feb 2, 2021 |

God, now I'm imagining Vampire LARP with the ability to undetectably cheat at will because you can always claim they didn't guess your secret number. I'm pretty sure people would literally be murdered by mall katanas.

Kestral posted:Fairness Neutral Structure Radical identified in the wild??? Don't know if you know this one, but there's a very fair way to do this! The GM and player both pick a number within the dice range, and then count up from the player's number to the GM's number, looping at the max number. The result is the count. So 1d12, pl6 gm2 = 8. Scratch the numbers in the dirt and then reveal if you wanna be as fair as it's possible to get.
