A Review of Dice that came with The White Castle | The White Castle
I am a big advocate of proper randomization during game play and, more often than not, the dice included with a game do not provide that. Cheaply manufactured dice are often misshapen such that they don't give equal access to all faces and thus will roll with bias like

"Roller Crawl" Version 1.0 is officially written down. This has a completed 3 Round set of stages, the Boss fight mechanics, and the Tavern between Rounds.
I have expansions available for Scrolls, I can upgrade this list to a higher D when I get more options thought out, some being modifiers for Bosses, In Round member swaps, roll modifiers for attacks or revivals, etc.
Each S# would be a simple lookup when I get that list.
I set a price for the potions at 1 Silver or 5 Trinkets based on current outlook, the goal being that more potions are more potentials for gaining Boss fights, the main stake in Gold gaining.
Ultimate plan will be the ability to play on a grid like this, but a terminal version will be a decently easy implementation too, which I would love to do.

Making my own lazy-ish dice game.
Inspired by some board game versions of dungeon crawlers, I wanted a "pure text" version. Something I can play on grid paper with a stash of dice.
This is version 1ish, and I cannot beleive it actually worked to a Boss fight the first round in! (Well I can, I designed the first round that way sort of, one could get a Dragle in stage 2 by statistics.) I did not roll enemies on that last round, conflicted if I should next time or default to Boss.
I am also deciding on ways to bring back party after burnoffs in stages if they are successful in their loot or enemy fight, like each round if I rolled a natural max attack for that character, I could revive them unless they fizzled.
I did chose to make them unavailable to potions for one round if they fail, however. I might replace scrolls with potions or add potion to scroll.
I haven't even designed the tavern rules yet, so it worked well! LOL
It isn't meant to be hardcore, nor super easy, just getting a higher score.
Could make it multiplayer and each roll their own party, but the enemy sets would be played individually in parallel with the goal getting a higher score.
Next steps-
I want to make the Tavern or Trading Post or Town Square or something where you can purchase potions maybe with currency. I may change the D4 on the Trunkle to a higher D with weights so we aren't getting as much gold chance since it is 5xSilver, and 25xTrinket pricing.
Scrolls need to be made for modifiers like rerolls, plus X attacks with Y Members, etc.
Maybe using potions with a Mage subdues them for 1 turn as a sacrifice sort of.
A LOT Packed in this sheet.
PS, I have never tried something like this, the weights and stats might be super dumb. I loved yahtzee as a kid, only recently tinkered in DnD with friend the last few years, and not very much.

Rebecca BannerManaged to catch up with my December boardgames over the last couple of days.
Yesterday we played Rummikub to keep us awake before heading out for bellringing for the midnight service.
Between us we gained 5 games gifted to us, so we played offspring no.2's Cthulhu Fluxx, and 2 of offspring no.1's dice games: Crag, and Bowling Dice.
