Rolling Dice – A die code shows how good a character is in a particular area, how harmful a weapon is, how useful a Special Ability or tool is, and so on. Each die code (also known as a value) indicates the number of six-sided dice you roll (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, etc.), and sometimes an added bonus of “+1” or “+2” — referred to as pips — you add to the total result you roll on the dice.
In the case of ConGregate, I am either a big failure or circumstances surrounding the convention are not conducive to a success gaming track. Three of those four years, I gave it everything I could give. It was like squeezing water out of a rock. GMs would not sign up, thus games were not on…
