POLL DESCRIPTION
Some gamers have pretty strong likes and dislikes when it comes to the right dice for gaming. Do you prefer a large range of random outcomes? Are some dice impractical because they take too long to stop rolling? So - when playing a game, which type of dice is best for resolving hits in combat?
d4	4-sided die.
d6	6-sided die.
d8	8-sided die.
d10	10-sided die.
d12	12-sided die.
d20	20-sided die.
d30	30-sided die.
d100	100-sided die. (I mean an actual hundred-sided die.)
percentile dice	Meaning to roll one die for the 10's place, and one die for the 1's place.
custom	Dice specially designed for the game system, perhaps including special symbols.
two d6	Two 6-sided dice.
three d6	Three 6-sided dice.
diceless	I prefer diceless combat systems.
electronic	I prefer to use an electronic substitute for dice.
no preference	I don't think it matters. Just play the game.
it depends	It depends on the type of game.
mixed	The best answer is to use different dice for different purposes (within the same game system).
