Rolling odd dice since 1983.

I am fond of Swords, Meat, Music, and Books.

I usually capitalize correctly.

comment Are there any campaign resources for Blue Planet v2?
I have posted some BP story seeds on my site, but as we do not ever play it, they are few and far between. I was pleased to see a Blue Planet question!

Some programs seem to repeat the last number rolled when you return to them from another application. This makes me wonder what other quirks I might not be noticing...

In most cases, then - barring implementation flaws, a human observer would not notice a difference in the results obtained by opting to use a program over actual dice?

comment How reliable are dice rolling programs?
I didn't want to praise or damn any particular one, and half expect each person I game with (depending on device) to be using a different one. Two different D6 rollers came pre-installed on my phone and neither produces what I consider to be realistic results, which likely planted this seed in my brain and encouraged it to fester into a doubt tree. I do notice that a lot of iPad/iPhone users tend to use the same program, however.

comment Systems with a dice mechanic that handles very easy and very difficult tasks
Primary dice pools of 9-12 dice are not uncommon, with lesser skills falling in the 4-8 range, not including situational modifiers or other bonuses. Difficulty ratings greater than 5 are considered extremely difficult (meaning a pool of 10 or better to expect to succeed). Players may request Chance Dice which add to the pool at the expense of adding 1 to the Difficulty for every 2 taken. Style points also allow the purchase of extra dice to roll or improve the Skill's average. Style can also be spent on other players. Does that help?
