oh Zenkitty you're having so much more fun than I am. I may have to introduce a kraken just to hold my own interest.
But yeah the dice are really helpful when cranking out words is more important than character motivation.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I have a set of percentile dice next to my keyboard. When I get stuck over whether a character is going to do one thing or another I decide which is more likely and roll the dice. It's probably the geekiest possible way to write a story. Also how cool is it that the die in the Wikipedia photograph is actually the one I own?

It's not so much the dice but which table you're rolling on. If you've got some of the old D&D critical hits tables, you can oodles of fun.

I have actually constructed a little arena out of the insert from a router box. But I do have a DMG I could refer to if a battle breaks out.

Like when my uncle had the book that told what happen if say, an elf and a unicorn got into a fight, right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Laga, rolling dice sounds like a fun way to write a story. It's like one of those stories where you get to pick different outcomes and see what happens.
Although it is true, Kraken are always amusing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I should be at 18,377 by the end of the day. I'm currently just over 14,000 but your 3115 makes me feel like so much less of a slacker. Thanks, Zenkitty!
