Which Dice Systems Work For You!

from 2 Kobolds in a Trenchcoat Hosted by 2KiaTPodcast

Most tabletop gamers are familiar with the classic D20 system, but the vast universe of dice mechanics holds far more secrets and surprises. In this episode of Two Kobolds in a Trenchcoat, Shiv and Aely explode the myth that D20 reigns supreme by dissecting unconventional systems like D10 pools, stress dice in Alien, the transformative Breathless mechanics, and the intricate custom dice of Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. They reveal how these systems enhance storytelling, heighten tension, and introduce fresh gameplay dynamics, whether you're a GM craving more narrative spice or a player looking for a thrill.
