Games That Love Dice

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)

The king of dice-based gaming:

Character Creation

• Ability scores: Roll 4d6, drop the lowest for each stat
• Hit points: Roll your class's hit die each level
• Starting gold: Dice determine your initial wealth

Playing the Game

• Attack rolls: d20 + bonuses vs. target's Armor Class
• Damage rolls: Various dice depending on weapons/spells
• Saving throws: d20 + bonuses vs. difficulty number
• Skill checks: d20 + skill bonus vs. target difficulty

Other Popular RPG Systems

Pathfinder

• Similar to D&D but with more complex rules
• Uses all standard dice types
• Emphasizes tactical combat and character customization

Call of Cthulhu

• Uses d100 for most actions
• Skills are percentages (like 65% in Archaeology)
• Sanity loss from encountering cosmic horrors

World of Darkness (Vampire, Werewolf)

• Dice pools using d10s
• Count successes (usually 8+ on d10)
• More dice = better character abilities

Board Games and Classic Games

Risk

• Combat: Attacker rolls up to 3d6, defender rolls up to 2d6
• Strategy: Higher rolls win, ties go to defender
• Tension: Everything depends on those crucial battle rolls

Monopoly

• Movement: 2d6 determines spaces moved
• Probability: Some spaces (6-8 spaces away) more likely to land on
• Strategy: Knowing probability helps property investment

Yahtzee

• Mechanics: 5d6, reroll any dice up to 2 times
• Scoring: Various combinations like poker hands
• Strategy: When to keep dice vs. when to reroll everything

Craps

• Come out roll: 7 or 11 wins, 2, 3, or 12 loses
• Point system: Other numbers become "the point"
• Odds: Complex betting system based on probability

Understanding Probability

Single Die Basics

Every die has equal probability for each face:

• d6: Each number (1-6) has 16.67% chance
• d20: Each number (1-20) has 5% chance
• Independence: Previous rolls don't affect future rolls

Multiple Dice Patterns

When rolling multiple dice, results cluster around the middle:

Two Dice (2d6)

• Most common result: 7 (appears 6 ways out of 36)
• Least common: 2 and 12 (only 1 way each)
• Bell curve: Results form a natural bell curve pattern
• Board game insight: Why 7 is so important in many games

Three Dice (3d6)

• Average result: 10.5
• Most common: 10 and 11
• Range compression: Results cluster more tightly than single d18

Practical Probability Tips

For Game Masters

• High probability success: Use 2d6 instead of d12 for more predictable results
• Dramatic moments: Single d20 for high variance and tension
• Skill challenges: Multiple dice for more realistic bell curves

For Players

• Know your odds: 20% chance to roll 16+ on d20
• Advantage matters: Rolling twice and taking higher dramatically improves odds
• Plan for average: Don't count on rolling high consistently

Using Dice for Decision Making

Personal Decisions

When you can't decide between options:

• Simple choice: Flip a coin (d2)
• Multiple options: Number them and roll appropriate die
• Weighted decisions: Use different dice sizes for different importance levels

Group Activities

• Turn order: Everyone rolls, highest goes first
• Random selection: Assign numbers to group members
• Fair distribution: Roll for who gets what

Creative Applications

• Writing prompts: Roll dice to select random story elements
• Art challenges: Random color, style, or subject selection
• Music practice: Random song or exercise selection
• Exercise routines: Random workout selection for variety

Tips for Better Dice Rolling

Understanding Streaks

• Streaks happen: Long runs of high or low rolls are normal
• Gambler's fallacy: Previous results don't influence future rolls
• Sample size: Probability evens out over thousands of rolls, not dozens

When to Use Which Dice

• Need predictability: Multiple dice (like 3d6 instead of d18)
• Want high variance: Single large die (d20 for dramatic swings)
• Percentage chances: d100 for clear probability communication
• Binary decisions: d6 (1-3 = no, 4-6 = yes) or coin flip

Virtual vs. Physical

• Trust the algorithm: Digital randomness is often fairer than physical
• Embrace convenience: Virtual dice are always perfectly balanced
• Mix and match: Use virtual for convenience, physical for ceremony

Dice Etiquette and Traditions

Tabletop Gaming Culture

• Dice superstitions: Many players have "lucky" dice or retirement ceremonies for bad dice
• Sharing dice: Often considered good gaming etiquette
• Dice respect: Don't touch another player's dice without permission
• Celebration and commiseration: Cheer for great rolls, sympathize with terrible ones

Digital Gaming Etiquette

• Trust the system: Accept digital randomness as fair
• Share results honestly: Don't reroll secretly to get better results
• Screenshot important rolls: Capture critical moments for memory and proof
