How Did I Miss This? (Improved Oracle Redux)

 Thanks to Matt for the much better way to do the Improved Oracle.  I don't know why I didn't think of it but... 2 dice is the solution.  One d6 for NO/YES (high/low) and the other for AND/-x-/BUT.

So for example...

... this would be a NO BUT.  

An elegant solution to the restrictive 50-50 problem of the single die.  Appreciate your great idea, Matt!

An Improved d6 Oracle???

Hey solo gamers! If you're looking for something new and simple to try, give this a spin:

I love the classic d6 oracle (No-And to Yes-and) because of how it pushes new narrative, but, at the same time it really only works when the odds of a given situation are 50-50.

So, I had this alternate idea:  

1 No and

2 No

3 No but

4 No and

5 No

6 No but

7 Yes but

8 Yes

9 Yes and

10 Yes but

11 Yes

12 Yes and

Use this straight up for 50-50.  For Likely, add +3.  For Extremely Likely, +5. Negative mods for Unlikelies.

If anybody tries this out, please let me know if it works for you.  The tests I did seemed to work well, but I'd love to know your experience.

Game on!

Adventures in Acetone part 3

 I might be a little obsessed... I've been making minis every day lately.  I'm not good at it yet but I am getting better.  

Here's the most recent batch.  They're mostly orcs, using a mold of a caveman plastic toy I found in a dollar store in Mexico.  The ones on the right are made with the acetone/plastic trick and the ones on the left use thermoplastic.  Each method has pros and cons, I find.  There's also a bit of green stuff, fimo, and fabric (3D) paint in the mix.

These are my most frequently used supplies (that's the acetone & plastic in the glass jar).  I forgot to include the green stuff (which I use less than I expected to) and crazy glue (which I use in pretty much every build).  I also use white glue for basing and for attaching hair.

This is one of the original plastic caveman toys.
