[QUOTE="payn, post: 9431983, member: 90374"] Ive changed a lot over time. I used to marvel at the collection of D&D dice. So many odd numbered dice and situations to use them in. Then, I got into situations where you shoot fireballs and other spells and have to roll an obnoxious amount of dice to add up. Further mechanics to empower, maximize, etc... It slows the game down at the higher levels and I found myself wanting to have simplifying options. I love dice at my Traveller games because its almost always 2D6 and simple. When I got VTT it was very refreshing. I dont need a digital option, but it certainly doesnt bother me for in person play. Right now my RPG play is VTT, what I am playing in person is Battletech. That game uses only D6 and is mostly a roll 2D6 and figure out fail/success. When things got complex with cluster weapons and such, I found folks building boom boxes to speed up play.
