Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 8298031" data-attributes="member: 6779310">Variation in standard poly sets goes back to the mid 1980s...All of the following were "standard" by 1990:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, 3d6, d8, d10, d12, d20</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, 4d6, d8, d10, d12, d20</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, 3d6, d8, 2d10, d12, d20 (Noting that the second d10 was a different color)</li> </ul>Modern sets tend to be:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, d6, d8, d10, d10×10, d12, d20</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, 3d6, d8, d10, d10×10, d12, d20</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d4, 4d6, d8, d10, d10×10, d12, d20</li> </ul>But I've seen ones without the d10×10 recently (last 13 months) as well. 4d6 tend to be more common than 3d6, since those who roll tend to use 4d6k3 for stat gen.I like minidice, too. And I've not seen a minidice poly set in a decade that didn't have 3d6 or 4d6 and a d10×10. (That may be selection by my available local game stores. Most of which are friendly.)So, categorically, no, they don't.Especially now that there are sets with d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d18, d22, d24 d28 d30... those sets I've seen include multiple d6 and a d10×10; one included a d10×100 (for rolling d1000).edit to add: a few sets were sold that were 2d10 and 4d6, as well, specifically for twilight 2000 2.0 and a few other games using only 10's and 6's (Cyberpunk 2013, 2020). They were not common. It also was a good set for WFRP.</blockquote>
