We were going over the statistics and all that of dice rolling, and the teacher brought up polyhedral dice, something I and the teacher only understood (now my favorite teacher). However, what this brought up was how the multisided dice are confusing to new comers, and that made me think.Why are there no systems that use only a d6 for rpgs?I know some use d10s only, and some use the d20 even more, and it seems the more faces to a die the more chances and thus the more fun, but then I remembered Fiasco. Fiasco uses only d6, rolled at the start of the game, the dice are used to create the characters and their relationships with the others, then given out throughout based on various actions and winning scenes, or losing....if you know Fiasco you understand.The point is, Fiasco is a role-play heavy, with no rolling, no stats, and so on.It's simple and pure.This purity grew in my mind like a fungus spore on roadkill. What if you used only d6?It would be a simpler game, and modifiers of who your character is means more. This would either be a hay-day for power gamers or a great chance for some amazing role play. Anyone think this could be a good idea? Or am I just in dire need of sleep?</blockquote>
