2d6 Dungeons intro (custom game)

[jdn2006]

A long time ago there were threads like this:

I have more dice than the local hobby store, but something I had a hankering for was a D&D-ish game I could play using just a copule of d6s now and then and something fitting my own whimsies. So I played around with it and got something like this to see what it would look like.

There are endless ways of doing this. I collected some in this...

Nice! Be Thou Exalted! for the links!

Just today I was thinking that Holmes could be easily transformed into a 2d6 game. Thanks for those links, jdn2006, and have another exalt.

BTW, you'd better edit your thread title.

It'd be interesting to see any and all clones with a 2d6 version.

I wrote something vaguely similar (but nowhere near as comprehensive) on rolling with six-siders here.

I made some polyhedral die images for the faces of six-siders (lower down in the linked thread). I even went so far as to contact a custom die manufacturer about printing some of those bad boys, but it turned out to be way too expensive to be worthwhile

It's way more practical to simply do them by hand.

Cool, thanks for sharing. And...Exalt! I like the idea of using only d6 as well, and will take a look at this.

I printed some of those die faces out and glued them to some dice and they work pretty well. Elmers Glue All works well with my dice.

I looked at having some cutom dice made and it was around $3 - $7 (they wouldn't give an exact quote) a side. For a few dice that wouldn't be too bad, but paper and glue is cheaper.

Really nice work, thanks for sharing.

Here's a more complete and more traditional version...

And one using a d18 roll, showing how d6s can be used to mimic d20 games....

And one using common die types (d4, d8, d20, etc.)...
