I know this is a old video of yours, but I suffer a disability called Dyscalculia which affects me to understand basic form of math and shapes. This video was super helpful to understand all the other shapes since I am just starting to play D&D with my friend. The Player's Handbook wasn't that helpful at first since because of my disability I just can't imagine all the shapes in my head to figure them, which is why this video will be super helpful for me to understand how the dices are supposed to work when you are playing D&D. So thank you for that :)

You are very welcome. I’m happy you found what you were looking for.

One quick tip, even as a veteran gamer of 30 years, I sometimes at first glance get the d12 and d20 mixed up. Both look like pretty round balls, unless you know what you're looking for. Look at the faces. If the faces are triangles, that's a d20. If the faces are pentagons (5 sided shapes), it's a d12. With d8 and d10, the faces of the d8 are triangles. The d10 faces can be a little variable but will at least roughly be elongated diamonds. And watch out for the d4s if they fall on the floor, these are designed to double as caltrops and will pierce your feet if you step on them without shoes. Back in the day, dice sets came without the percentile dice. You just got the d10 and you either rolled it twice, or you rolled two different ones of different colors and remembered which you had designed as the hundreds place. (I've seen a few tables used some places that have you roll 3 d10s and generate 1-1000...). Apparently even backer in the day (before my time), you just got a d20, number 1-10 twice rather than the d10.

@FitzTheGame

There are 2 different types of D4. If you lay the die flat on the table and look at one side of it there will either be a number at the top of the side you are looking at and two numbers at the bottom of that side, in that case the number at the top is the number you have rolled. The other style will have two numbers at the top of the die and one number at the bottom, in that case the number at the bottom is the number that you have rolled. I hope that clears it up, if not let me know. Either way I’ll see if I can take a of some dice and make a post in the community section of the channel. I think a visual aid would really help explain this better.

As for players all you need to worry about is having fun, good thing is you get to define what that looks like so creativity doesn’t have to be a major factor if that’s not your thing. I’d recommend having a look at a local game store or geeky convention if you are looking for people to play with. Quite often there are people just like you, wanting to play but not having a group.

Throw away your D20. Instead use D10 and D6 together and gain the satisfaction of being able to “rattle them bones”. :) The 1D6 presents as either zero or ten, low or high, 50/50. 1,2 or 3=zero while 4,5 or 6=ten. Add this result to result of 1D10 and you get 1-20. The low/high of that D6 can be read from across the room. Everyone knows immediately if you threw a 1-10 or an 11-20 without leaning in to look at the result of that 1D10. Old school, before 1D20, the twenty sided die simply repeated 0-9, no 11-20. We actually called the twenty sided die a “D10”. This was before the popularity of a die w ten sides, you see? Generated 1-20 in conjunction with the D6 or 1-100 when using two.

or you use a phone?

@FitzTheGame

Жыл бұрын

Yes, a phone can be a great tool. I have a few dice rolling apps. Plus it’s always in my pocket. Can’t beat the feel and sound of some dice on a table though. 😁

If you roll 00+0 it equals 10 not 100, the number that equals 100 is 90+0. I have had this argument alot with DMs. If its 00+0=100 you now have a 2% chance of hitting 100 instead of 1% chance. If the 1-0 die is one to ten then to roll a 60 you need 50+0 with this scale the total can only be between 1-100. If the 1-0 die is instead zero - nine, the scale is now 0-99. The 00-0 hundred is confusing because you need to clarify that you are replacing the 0 total to now be the 100 roll and that the 1-0 roll is now read as zero to nine, not one to ten. This could matter if someone needs to meet a 60% to succeed. They roll on die 50-0, is that 50% or 60%?? Its nice to clear it up before so everyone knows which way the math is being counted. With one 0 reading as ten, you just add them together same as always for every roll, but for 0 as zero, you have to remember to calculate it differently when 00 is on the other dice. Yeah my DM did not roll percentiles openly with me. Lolz

@FitzTheGame

6 ай бұрын

The way I see it: since rolling a percentile die and a d10 technically give you a number between 11 and 110 but you are rolling on a chart that’s between 1 and 100, you can’t get over a 100 value so you don’t count the 100 of you roll the “00” on the percentile die and you don’t count the “10” on the d10 if you roll “00” and “0” (maximum value on both die, representing the highest roll available) at the same time. So 00(100) + 0(10) = 100 because you have hit the maximum allowed value. If you roll 90 + 0 you have exceeded the maximum allowed value in the 90’s so you disregard the 0(10) roll. If you roll 00(100) + 9 you rolled 109 which exceeds the limit so you drop the 00 because you need to be able to roll between 1 - 9 because that’s how the numbers are set up on the chart. Same as any other rule though; it’s up to the DM to decide how to use the d100 roll at their table. If you run your game different from other people that’s fantastic, just make sure players understand before they roll.

@@FitzTheGame yeah this can be confusing, as your technique now introduces a third way of calculating. So if we go by your way. on a percentile check of 50% where 50% and lower is a fail and 51% and higher is a success. There is now 40% chance of failure (anything between 10-1 and 40-0) and 49% chance of success(anything between 50-1 to 90-9) and 11% chance of getting a critical success by rolling a 100. (90-0 and anything between 00-1 and 00-0) The question is how do you determine a critical failure roll of 1%, probably just say that rolling 10-1 is the worst as it is lowest on the scale. But yeah talk to your dm first, and usually as a player you dont roll percentiles that much anyways, its usually a DM rolling percentiles to figure things out on random tables.

The Dungeon Masters screen can be used from game to game, they have made different versions for different game book releases , but they aren’t needed to play each campaign book. You can even make your own (tutorial on my channel 😁), or not use one at all. My first DM Screen was the box that the D&D 5e starter set comes in. To start playing there are some was to find a game online, like using the looking for group feature on Roll20.net or places like Reddit. If you are young please make sure you have permission to do that and please be safe when talking to people online no matter where you are chatting with them. I was very introverted as a child and still am in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to sharing my interests, so I know how hard it can be to find people to play with, but going to a local game store and asking if they host new player friendly games can be a great way to start playing. If you live in a large or mid size city there very well could be an official D&D Adventurers league game you can join. I was 31 years old before I allowed myself to come out of my shell and start playing D&D, not because I was ashamed of it but because I was terrified to talk about it and too shy to ask anyone to play with me. I missed out on a lot of good gaming years. Other then that you may be able to scratch the itch and learn more about D&D by watch people play, reading the official novels or playing games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter nights. I have also heard of solo D&D games, ones where a book essentially DMs for you, but I’ve never actually seen one before. This wouldn’t give you the same experience but it could be fun.

What? No, 00+10=10, this guy is wrong. 00 is 0 then add the d10. Lowest is 1 highest is 10. To get 100 you would need to role a 90 on the percentile dice and a 0 or 10 on the d10.
