I'm a recent mover to southern SC / Northern Ga and it seems the area is pretty dry for gaming opportunities. Sadly, that means my lego collection has stayed packed away in boxes in the garage. I'd love a reason to get out there and start to unearth (...) (16 years ago, 10-Jun-08, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

(...) Another difference is that there's a large variance in Ad6, and very little variance in 1d6+A. With A=4 (for instance) you get Ad6 resulting between 4 and 24, which is a huge range. With 1d6+A, you get between 5 and 10. For that reason, I'd (...) (17 years ago, 19-Dec-07, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)
