Some RPGs will give you a fistful of dice to roll, and when they’re 6-sided, adding up the pips fast is a useful skill.  Back in time before time when West End Games had the license to make a Star Wars RPG, that was based on d6, and I got pretty good at it.  Conversely, the guy I know with the worst ADHD couldn’t do it for shit.  They call that dyscalculia, I’m told.

Another time I was playing that wild west RPG, but like, the post-apocalypse version, and you could reroll max results.  My gun only did 3d6 damage but I scored like 52 and insta-killed a kinda tough enemy.  Memorable occasions, those imaginary victories.

I’m inclined to make my own TTRPG, if I ever finish it, d6-based like that.  Somebody put up an “open game license” type deal for the old WEG d6 system, which could be a thing to use.  But still, what about those with dyscalculia?  Rules lite is big in the indie space for a good reason.

Have I ever posed this question before?  Don’t know if I have.  How do you prefer to roll, if at all?
