IMO a spinner is dice, so just make a spinner with 110 perfectly equal segments. If you don't want to have fights about whether the pointer is pointing at a line, fabricate a clicker-style spinwheel with pegs that force the pointer to always be unequivocally on a value.

Then, program a random number generator to spin the spinner, to remove the human cheating element, and you're all set!


e. alternatively, get 110 unique cards (you probably have enough board games in your closet to do this right now), sleeve them, and make a chart that maps cards to numeric values. Shuffle up and deal!

That's pretty much how the "paper dice" in Whitehack(soon getting it's third edition) works*, it's a sheet of paper with a random spread of numbers on it, then you take a pencil or something similar, spin it and you use the number it lands on

*for situations where you don't or can't have access to real dice(it'd be a great game for people in Prison for this reason)

Roll d100, and if you roll a repeat add 1.

Seriously, there's absolutely no reason to roll d110. If the last ten options on the list are your favorites then move them to the top.

My Lovely Horse
Aug 21, 2010

That's a good point. What are 10 more items on the list really gonna add to the process for your players? Throw out the 10 least interesting ones, and your game can only get better for it. Or if you can't decide which those are, roll a virtual d110 ten times.

Together they might protect local merchants from the Triple Threat Triad in Republic City, travel through a spirit portal to rescue a child taken into the Spirit World, negotiate peace between feuding communities within the Earth Kingdom, or pursue mysteries (and villains) that arise throughout their adventures!

The roleplaying game’s Core Book is slated for a February 2022 release with two supplements to follow in August 2022 and February 2023 titled Republic City and The Spirit World respectively.

It tickles me that the two most evocative adventure ideas they propose are to be found in the supplements.

Lmao the other one they pitch about negotiating a peace between feuding Earth Kingdom communities is also literally the plot of the most-disliked episode of the original Avatar series. I understand the premise itself isn't bad, but come on you could find a million better callbacks to make.

I always like the premise of "You're stuck in temporal war between two future versions of your current government," which TENET and Continuum sort of captured.

I think it would make a really neat, paranoid-laden spy game.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

An official Avatar universe game will at least be a deterrent from more nerds trying to recreate it using 5e and who knows, maybe they'll actually learn a new system for it. That said yeah god I agree I wish it wasn't Magpie.

At this point I think the most obvious "why the gently caress doesn't this have an RPG" franchises are, like, Pokemon and Naruto. Or I guess replace Naruto with shonen series of your choice.

I'm not really invested in pokemon in specific but I do like the idea of an RPG where each player is managing a team.

I do also appreciate how bluntly artificial the pokemon universe is. Just, no attempt to make a natural seeming civilization anywhere and screw you for even asking.

When people starting making noise about what a creep Zak S was, the main guy at Magpie wrote an essay saying the real monsters were Zak's critics who were engaged in a never-ending Two Minute Hate against him for saying mean things about him and that he was not going to put up with that.
