[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8941904, member: 86653"] If they use a d20, it will be swingy. If they use 2d6, it won't. But that easily applies to any single die vs any dice pool system. Yep. Unique and proprietary specialty dice that have no use outside the game itself (Genesys, etc), tell me that I won't be looking any further at that game. Specialty dice that have use outside the game itself (Fate, DCC, etc), tell me that I will at least give it a look. Not yucking anyone's yum. I already have bags and boxes of dice that I cannot use for anything other than the long out-of-print games they were designed for. I have zero interest in adding to that collection. I will gladly look at games that use funky numeric dice, like DCC, because I can use those to generate numbers which are broadly useful to any RPG and/or my own prep work for running games. The d20 screams D&D. The d6 screams Traveller, WEG Star Wars, Ghostbusters, PbtA, and Over the Edge. [/QUOTE]
