[QUOTE="Tigerlil, post: 6311357, member: 73205"] Without having tried higher tier games, it does seem neater to keep at the d6s. It also means the group doesn't have to invest in 70odd small size d8s (everyone likes to have their own dice) and can use the very normal small sized d6s that comes in packets of 45. For the less math savvy it's also quicker to tot up a handful of d6s compared to d8s :) That said, if you WANT the characters to be Legolas or Starbuck or Darth Skywalker, then the d8s or *shudder* higher might be appropriate. To talk in D20 language, it seems fitting for Epic level characters. Most sci-fi games compared to fantasy also usually aim for a more realistic approach, so maybe what works for OLD might not work for NEW in this context? Which of course would be completely the opposite of the coolness that makes this "cross genre" rpg interesting. [/QUOTE]
