2025-03-27 14:02:37 +0000 UTCI'm right there with you! Rolling d100 any other way makes absolutely no sense. Why would you treat dice conditionally? 00+0 = 100 but 00+1 = 1 is way more confusing and inconsistent

2025-02-14 00:29:19 +0000 UTCYou are SO real for this I genuenly love the design of Smeg appliances but it's a fact that I will never pay for one with my own money until they stop having SMEG on them in huge letters because my brain can think nothing but Smegma every single time.

2025-01-14 16:07:25 +0000 UTC… that dice christ confessional hit me… I roll the same way, because that way a 90 and a 0 are 100. There is no more 0 Statistically, you have every number 1-100, and you don’t have the flip flop logic of “three zeroes is 100, but two zeroes and a one is 1”

2024-11-25 17:11:55 +0000 UTCI'm coming back onto naddpod after taking a year off for financial reasons. Hearing Smeg so much in this episode is so offputting because of the slang "smeg" referring to 'smegma' ie dick cheese. I've obviously heard of the expensive kitchen appliance brand but it's always gonna be dick cheese to my mind.

2024-05-12 07:41:41 +0000 UTCMy ones d10 is marked 1 to 10, and using the girlfriend's method I get 1..100 with even distribution if I just add the numbers on the two dice together. If I treat 10 as 0 I have to make an exception for 10 + 00 to be 100 instead of 0. I'm on the girlfriend's side.

2024-01-25 20:28:12 +0000 UTCHi, delayed weirdo here. I literally had to make a spreadsheet to make sure the math worked out on the D100 confessional. Only then did I remembered that you don’t roll a 0 on a D100. From a statistical point of view she’s in the clear and using the same probability as the rest of us. 🎲 👍

2024-01-04 06:22:43 +0000 UTCJust here to say the girlfriend is right. I am throwing my comment in the pot in support. The die with two numbers dictates the tens place and the die with one number dictates the ones place, though when its a ten you just add it to the already existing tens place number. You're not supposed to be able to roll a zero, that's why all the tables start at 1.

Not that Cheshire Cat
2023-12-18 22:56:20 +0000 UTCI feel I would have narrated the Rouge based on their class as being a Phantom they would have connections to the dead, thus the narration would be like: you, see in bullet time the expanse of a light, brighter than you've ever seen. You watch as all color in your skin fades to an eerie grey. Your breath goes silent, infact you don't even feel your breath, as your eyes gaze up at a figure in front of you looms with sunken eyes their faces changes to all those close to you all at once, those of which have died. You hear in all of their voices ringing with the hollowness of a church "what have you done? " you Blink as time has passed, your spirit returns to your husk as you have evaded the explosion, yet you feel different, hollow like a piece was ripped from your soul. Your eyes take minutes to focus again, but the rotting stench of decay and destruction overwhelms your senses, as sight returns, you see nothing but leveled ground. You have never felt this alone in all your life.
Myka Donati
2023-12-18 22:27:46 +0000 UTCI'm in the same boat! The 00 is zero in the tens place and the 0 is ten so you get an even 1-100 span unless the d100 is actually a D99
Carbonostin
2023-12-18 18:34:06 +0000 UTCIt sounds like the girlfriend is rolling the dice 100 correctly, no? It’s from 1 to 100 and dice aren’t meant to roll 0 which is what can happen if you do it the other way. Am I crazy?

Lagongo
2023-12-12 21:41:48 +0000 UTCAgree with the personal preference. It makes the most sense to me because the standard d10's 0 always means 10 when it's used anywhere else and the percentile die is only used in this scenario. The way I do it I also avoid the false victory flag of seeing the 00 and thinking it could be 100 when 9 times out of 10 it's a number between 1 and 9. Meanwhile 90 is always a good number to see and doesnt preclude getting 100.
Zero Angel
2023-12-11 22:21:26 +0000 UTCBut the other method still has discontinuity because one of your zeros is a low value (the tens digit 0) and one is high (the ones digit). If your dice has a ten on it instead of 0, then yes rolling 9&10 => 90 is confusing, but with your method rolling 10&9 => 9 is also confusing. Of course this is all personal preference, but I like that rolling two of the same number leads to the crit (0&0, instead of 9&10) and I like that it goes from the worst to best roll, but again, to each their own.

Tyler Spencer
2023-12-11 13:36:03 +0000 UTCI’m glad so many others agree with the girlfriend. The RAR method is inconsistent and weird. 00+1 = 1 00+0 = oh obviously that’s 100(??) The 0 on the d10 is a 10 in regular play (try telling a fighter he just rolled a “0” on his damage die), so why change it for the percentile dice? Not to mention d10s sometimes literally have a “10” instead of a 0. Try explaining to someone who just rolled “90+10” that they just got 90. It’s insane. INSANE.

Rene the Monster Captain
2023-12-11 03:52:09 +0000 UTCIt's the lack of continuity between outputs of the die and their mapping. It's relatively minor, but basically it's that the juxtaposition method goes 00&1, 00&2, ..., 00&9, 10&0, 10&1, ... 90&8, 90&9, 00&0. Having the tens place die's 00 go from being in the ones outputs to being the hundred output is a point of discontinuity if you are looking at the numbers as numbers and not as digits. Also, it has the added complication that your usual d10's 0 roll which means 10 in every other situation now means 0.
Zero Angel
2023-12-11 03:05:07 +0000 UTCmurph hasnt listened to anything like critical ditto. The players getting to roleplaying villans can be very fun
Willis Dickman
2023-12-11 01:11:52 +0000 UTCshe was confused into to thinking it was possible to have a result of zero because the alternate method is much harder to understand than "it's a tens place in all instances except one" for most people
Deirdre
2023-12-10 20:54:42 +0000 UTCyou have an even chance of rolling any place from 1-100, how could it get more consistent?
Deirdre
2023-12-10 20:43:47 +0000 UTCCorrect 00 + 1 is the lowest result. 90 + 10 is the highest. One method treats them like addition and the other treats them like juxtaposition of digits. Addition makes way more sense for me and 90 always feels high while 00 always feels low.

megcelente
2023-12-10 20:20:23 +0000 UTCNah mate, sorry a 10 and 0 = 10. Gotta throw the literal book at you on this one: PHB pg. 6 - "Percentile dice, or d100, work a little differently. You generate a number between 1 and 100 by rolling two different ten-sided dice numbered from 0 to 9. One die (designated before you roll) gives the tens digit, and the other gives the ones digit. If you roll a 7 and a 1, for example, the number rolled is 71. Two 0s represent 100. Some ten-sided dice are numbered in tens (00, 10, 20, and so on), making it easier to distinguish the tens digit from the ones digit. In this case, a roll of 70 and 1 is 71, and 00 and 0 is 100."

Hatson
2023-12-10 17:32:02 +0000 UTCLol it took me a good like 10 minutes but i eventually figured it out. What was confusing me is the idea that if u wrote all the numbers in a list 000, 001, 002. The scale would start at 100 then jump to 1-99. But i guess it doesnt really matter ultimately that the scale would be wrong and all numbers are still represented
Hatson

Lovecraftian
2023-12-10 17:26:03 +0000 UTCNo, you're both wrong. On percentile dice all the numbers are exactly what is written on them. The zeros are zeros, the tens are tens, you just add them together. The only exception is when you roll both zeros, then it's 100.

2023-12-10 17:06:27 +0000 UTCExactly! Emily said with this method you can’t roll a 0 and so you cheat yourself out of divine intervention but it’s not possible to roll a 0. You can’t roll a 0 on any other die so why is a d100 any different?

Clay Gibbons
2023-12-10 13:39:36 +0000 UTCOh! I do my d100 the way the girlfriend does and it's more mathematically consistent and gets everything from 1 to 100 without worry, but I did bring it up with my last group and some got super upset about it. I find the inconsistency of the 00 sometimes being 0 and sometimes being 100 much stranger but if that's how they want to roll as long as they don't change when it's convenient then I don't see a problem.

Sam
2023-12-09 18:22:17 +0000 UTCThis is 100% correct. From my homebrew rule sheet, where I clarify this: "Percentile Dice: Percentile rolls can range from 1-100%; there is no 0% chance of something happening on a percentage roll. Additionally, the double-digit “10’s” place dice always represents the 10’s place and a “0” on the d10 always represents +10, such that percentage dice are read as follows: A roll of “00” and “1” = 1% A roll of “00” and “0” = 10% A roll of “10” and “1” = 11% A roll of “10” and “0” = 20% A roll of “90” and “0” = 100%" It makes no sense for there to be a "0%" chance of something happening. If there's a 0% chance, then that means you didn't actually take any action or do anything at all!

It keeps consistency with what both dice mean regardless of circumstance, as opposed to edge cases like 100 being 00 + 0.
