Solve or decide a decision other than on a gaming table? |

Simple yes or no unless you want to mention what for |

I used to do it as a joke when plotting the ship's course at sea. |

.Greyalexis@ no, just wondering if anyone has ever taking it to the next level. I am buying a new truck and down to 4 choices and the thought occurred to me a D-4 would solve the decision |

The only dice I tend to carry everywhere are d2s, but I have more than once decided what to have for dessert by assigning "heads" to once choice and "tails" to another. All the best, John. |

Yes in bawdy adult games. |

I used to always carry a D6 and just for laughs would roll it to decide what restaurant to go to, which direction to drive, and various and sundry other inconsequential things. Haven't done it since I got married since I don't think she would be as amused as all of my gamer buddies… |

I do. And for when my hands get tired, I even have a set of rock-pape-scissors dice. -David G. |

I used to do it as a joke when plotting the ship's course at sea. Bet the Captain and XO loved that one! Seriously, I've done it a couple of time more out of being cute or as a joke than for any other reason. |

We used to play a dice game (the one where you roll 5 dice and must put one aside each turn and the aim is to end with a 4 and a 2 and the highest score on the other 3 dice) to decide who went to lunch first. Using dice for anything more serious strikes me as a recipe for insanity. Pat |

Way back when, a bunch of us were playing SPI's "DragonQuest" when we heard the news that Richard Pryor had been severely burned and was given only a 30% chance of survival.
Without hesitation, my friend Kevin scooped up the percentile dice and rolled them onto the coffee table, getting a result of "30", at which he immediately declared "He's gonna make it!"
And he did.
To this day we credit Kevin with having saved Richard Pryor's life. |

No. Why would I? Evolution and education has provided me with the ability to reason. |

Last week, I rolled to see whether I'd ingest "bath salts" and eat another man's face whilst naked on the side of a Miami Highway, or if I'd simply go to work for twelve hours and return home for cold meatloaf from the fridge. I rolled a 74 on d%, which resulted in me being exhausted and forced to consume dry meatloaf and stringy green beans. The other guy in the gaming group got a different result. I haven't been in the loop much lately, so I haven't heard how his day went. |
