Know Your Dice!
A downloadable game
This is a quarter fold zine explaining simple notation, odds, and uses for the various polyhedral dice common to RPGs (role-playing games). I packed as much in as I could while keeping it straightforward and useful. This would make a nice stocking stuffer for any gamer. Despite its "basic" approach, some of the tables are quite useful - such as the table showing the odds of a d20 vs. a target number with Advantage and Disadvantage.
Instructions: print on one sheet of US Letter paper, front and back, binding on long edge. Fold the top down and then fold side to side; keep the cover facing out. If you have a long-arm stapler, staple the middle in two places and then trim the outside edge (there's a crop mark) and slit the top folds. If you only have a normal stapler, trim the open edge, then staple, then slit the top folds. I recommend 24lb paper (like resume paper).

Much appreciated ... simple aid---in many cases already in use---nice to have it all laid out and neat and collected in one place!
This zine is super cute and informative! I just wish that there had been room for graphs of the probability of, e.g., 1d12 vs 2d6 (or what about 1d4+1d8, or maybe that's for a follow-up zine, Advanced Dice & Design).
Haha. Yup, the possibilities are endless. Thank you!
The instructions dont mention a cut, we need to cut to seperate the pages right?
I think they do mention a cut (two actually), but I'll double check. Once you fold you have to either staple then trim the outside edge (longarm stapler) or trim and then staple (regular stapler). Then you have to slit open the top edge folds.
The instructions were in the download screen, but I moved/copied them to the main description as well. Thanks!
np, thanks for the free grub!
