And to be clear I wasn't trying to get any of you to stop using dice. I was elaborating on my perspective in response to vancexentan's status. That was it. Then I clarified further.

As for my original comment that started this chain, I was mainly questioning my own predisposition to look at ttrpg rulebooks despite knowing I have no use for them. And never will.

The fact that I dislike and don't see the point in dice mechanics for writing or roleplay? I made that clear further down and even a status or two ago.

Bruh you could literally play D&D here or start your own game. I have, to varied results but still what's seriously stopping you?

@Kuro I would be if COVID and Monkey Pox didn't exist.

Zyx 5 hrs ago

With that explanation in mind I now see what you mean. And that's fair. I just don't fancy dice because I don't view them as necessary. I can just make a character who fits a campaign without em.

Kuro 5 hrs ago

I'm sure you're fun at parties, Zyx.

And about dice, it's there because the last G in TTRPG is "game", the publisher sells game, not writing guide

Am not bashing anyone or try to sound rude, that's how I use tabletop rpg rulebooks for experiments

Zyx 5 hrs ago

To convert my argument to pure hyperbole, if you have to use dice then you're probably not capable of not writing a mary sue character without them. In other words, ur bad and you got a low IQ.

Zyx 5 hrs ago

Otherwise I find dice mechanics to be something that just isn't necessary if you can, you know, write. Or have an actual social interaction with someone that isn't just throwing a fit.

Zyx 5 hrs ago

Well that's rude, but in reply it's not redundant because I want a mary sue, it's redundant because I know how to tell a story. I don't need dice for that, I just need open communication in RP.

VeyrinDay 5 hrs ago

Adopt the campaign, use then break the character rules, assume natural 20 in every throw, and see how well your Mary Sue fare in the setting

Going to spend as much of my day at work as possible on prepping for my session tomorrow.

Zyx 5 hrs ago

I have to say that I'm somewhat biased as, unless it's a game like Monopoly where the goal is to win or be the last one standing, I just see dice as a redundancy.

I prefer dice mechanics over any other mechanic. Dice are as impartial as they come assuming they're not weighted or rigged in some way. They can't favor, or despise you and are completely neutral.

I don't know why I bother looking into D&D stuff seeing how I'll never play it, or any TTRPG for that matter, on account of how much I hate dice mechanics that aren't on the level of Monopoly.
