  ... sadly, poker dice are not like how I thought they were, and my rules to use them don't work. (They don't usually come in separate RED and BLACK suits; instead, each card rank has its own color.) H... Continue reading
• Made a business card + poker dice hack of this
  September 02, 2021 by @tibbius@dice.camp

  Posted the PNGs for both sides of the card. The pdf has many additional d6 tables. Perhaps I'll make additional cards, reworking those to also use poker dice. Stay frosty!... Continue reading

  Received several comments about the font ("Harrington") that I liked being painful to eyes of people trying to read it on a phone or laptop. Changed the font to something hopefully easier to read ("Pa... Continue reading

  I guess it would be helpful to give an example of building a character. These are my rules, so I feel welcomed to cheat. Instead of randomly rolling, I'm going to simply pick four Words (three Advanta... Continue reading
