d6: pips or numbers?

[Felix]

I'm an Anglophile, so: "Pip, pip, cheerio!"

I like pips on my D6.

One reason is becasue my d3s are six siders with the numbers 1 to 3 written on them twice.

If I'm playing a RPG, numbers. If I'm playing Yahtzee or a board game with dice, then pips.

I like pips. Currently, though, I'm in love with the Pirateology game dice, which have slashes for 1 through 5 and a skull face for 6.

I'm in the 'both/either' camp.

For D&D, I prefer numbers for weapon damage, energy damage on a weapon, etc., but pips for sneak attacks or nukes. IOW, if it's a few dice, numbers to match the rest of the dice set; if it's a lot of dice (which includes d6 systems), time to pull out the box-o'-d6.

Pips rule! Numbers drool!

I'm a pip kind of guy.

I used to be pro numbers, but I've since gotten to many cool sets of piped d6s I've changed my views. Plus I like minid6 and for the most part they only come in pip form.

Numbers, simply for aesthetic reasons. All my other dice sizes are numbered rather than pipped, so you get a uniform appearance if the d6's are numbered as well.

Ditto.

the educator in me likes pips because they help my son learn to add
