Looks great! everything is very clear where each area starts and ends this is how a DM/GM screen should look for the DM/GM I have seen some who do to much style on the DM/GM side and makes things hard to read at a glance where they start and end this is perfect. Also I dont know how I missed this video and the one after about Dungeons about to watch it now as well. Thanks again bud I am getting more and more excited :-D I am moving next year to a new area where I have a friend I have known for years! was at her wedding last year, she and others she knows want to play some RPGs dont know where to start so I will be dropping this on them to see how they like it.

While I am a fan of using Oracles in an RPG, such as the Mythic GM Emulator... I can not stand dice with symbols that complicate the results. Is this a small number of possible symbols to translate? Yes. Does it slow down the process? Yes... which was even shown in this video with how the creator had to spend a few moments to decipher the meaning. For me personally, a really simple yes/no/maybe system (literally the words yes/no/maybe on the face), or an easily identified percentage system of over/under a particular number, is so much easier and keeps the momentum of the game going. Even with that said, I do hope that your kickstarter went well.
@pickpocketpressrpgvideos66553 ай бұрын
Keith the Y symbols are yeses, and the N symbols are no's - very easy to interpret the yes/no aspect. What might take time is the skull (misfortune) or sun (fortune), but you could always of course not use that die if you like. And thank you the KS went very well! :D
@keithmathews46053 ай бұрын
@pickpocketpressrpgvideos6655 I am glad that it went well. Still not a fan of symbols on dice... numbers or words are much easier to understand and keep things moving forward in a game... as I said earlier... like what is in Mythic GM. Clearly, everyone has a personal leaning towards one way or the other.
@spocktavian19 күн бұрын
People process things differently. I count myself among a population of many that don't struggle with simple symbolic associations. So I love these dice.
@ozymandrokles81717 күн бұрын
The symbols look cool and are easy to interpret. Dice with yes & no printed on them would look boring, and I'm sure someone most likely already makes dice like that.
