Damn right.

If there was only someway I could type using dice...

umm... in Polish the word for 'dice' is 'bones'
So... I guess?

I read that as "atheist" and "non-atheist" and was all ready for a troll thread.

rolled 86 = 86

>>14332013
26 sided dice for typing!

>>14332022

In Polish, the word for north is the word for noon. And the word for a castle can also mean a lock or a zipper. In other words, no relation whatsoever.

rolled 10, 17, 1, 16, 24, 16, 9, 11, 17, 18, 17, 4, 10, 3, 20 = 193

>>14332045
Hope this works, doubt it will.

>>14332022
>>14332089
Interesting....it's more like English than I thought.

Bones and dice might be the same word because the before dice people threw small bones and make their bets on that.

rolled 22, 4, 4, 16, 4, 21, 6, 4, 24, 19, 5, 18, 3, 24, 17 = 191

>>14332095

and they used to make early dice from bone.

rolled 5, 3, 12, 9, 17, 3, 13, 12, 27, 21 = 122

I propose that the dice be 28 sided to allow for periods and spaces, corresponding to 27 and 28 respectivly.

rolled 24, 13, 12, 20, 8, 10, 3, 15, 25, 20, 4, 4, 2, 8, 23 = 191

>>14332173
How about 30 sided?

29= comma
30= apostrophe

rolled 12, 18, 25, 6, 19, 9, 7, 29, 30, 18, 28, 13, 20, 29, 8, 5, 8, 29, 10, 25 = 348

First test

>>14332139

I know.

rolled 7, 20, 9, 26, 9, 1, 1, 23, 26, 26, 28, 21, 1, 12, 16, 28, 1, 16, 25, 18 = 314

>>14332173

>>14332089
Zamek (castle, zipper, lock), all essentially mean something that is closed off. A castle, like a fortress, is closed off.

The noon north bit is, I assume, because the sun is Northwards during the noontime.

That being said, we have like a thousand different word for "hat" if it makes you feel any better.

I propose 2d8 be used. An octal system, treating a result of 8 as a 0. This allows 64 values, enough to store most values required, including capitals.

>12, 18, 25, 6, 19, 9, 7, 29, 30, 18, 28, 13, 20, 29, 8, 5, 8, 29, 10, 25

Renegade dicerunners passing sets of weighted d8s, matching colours, with their own arcane codes for distinguishing the units from the eights. Meanwhile, gaming in general has been shut down by governments, fearing that this alternative to normal communication is somehow subversive.

Hell, I'd play it.

>>14332303
So, can we assume the first 26 characters are the lower case alphabet, 27-52 are upper case, and the remaining 12 numbers are as follows:
53- space
54- period
55- comma
56- question mark
57-apostrophe
58- exclamation point
59- colon
60-semi-colon
61-right parenthesis
62-left parenthesis
63-right quotation mark
64-left quotation mark

>>14332368
For irony's sake, it should be played with a deck of cards.

Oh, what have I done now?

>>14332519

Of course! I don't have about 20 pairs of matching coloured weighted d8s. But if I did, you can be damn sure I'd fund this game.

>>14332519
You receive a cryptic message from your boss in the form of a deck of cards. To read them, you simply fan them out and the message is in perfect order. You put the deck down and make yourself a drink. You come back, and notice your son Billy playing with some cards. Your cards.

BILLY, NOOOOOO!

Shut up, tripfag. You're not taking the credit for what is clearly a community idea.

>>14332592

This, I like. I think we should extend it to chancepunk, cover dice and cards. Maybe have the corps trying to control the chaos in the universe by limiting all randomness?

>>14332618
I'm not sure what chancepunk is, but hey, I'm game.

I only have one condition:

It's like you guys have never heard the term "Rolling them bones".

>>14332671
That's some strained logic. Why do you care?

>>14332618
Probability-punk. Imagine an "Untouchables" situation where the government has a harsh crackdown on gambling. Speakeasys are underground casinos. In cloudy rooms, business policy and maters of the state are decided on poker. Crazed men roam the land, flipping a coin at every decision (including if you should live). Your life hangs more on how many cards you can count than how fast you can draw your gun.

>>14332671

No, no it wouldn't. You have nothing to do with this.

>>14332681

"Rollin' dem bones"

Gotta put some slang on it, yo.

>>14332651

This could work, and be painfully cool while it happened. Is somebody gonna figure out some mechanics for this, or is my sleep deprived brain (GMT here) gonna have to do it?

Also, most productive troll thread I've ever seen.

Two-Face is the mayor of this city.

>>14332671
That's like if somebody said "Herp derp what if we could build a flying machine?" and claiming credit for other people putting in all of the work past that point.

ChancePunk

Most people in this brave new world game and put their life on the line in this world built on gambling. Everyone carries around dice and a stack of cards, cards are used to impress and make deals.

On the outskirts or ghettos there are groups of erratic people who's entire language and every waking action is based on the role of a dice.
Meh might be fun with a little work.

>>14332737
Every roll counts, no re-rolls unless the two parties agreed to it beforehand. All bets are final, and if the loser doesn't pony up with what they promised, the winner is entitled to getting their winnings by any means possible. Murder is a common thing, here is Los Diablos.

Various games begin to take different roles in society - there are tales of a war actually being conducted entirely through an incredibly drawn out wargame, though none state exactly what is was. Cards take the place of currency, with each major nation adopting a card game of choice, accepting trade of these as legal tender.

>>14332766
The Mayor is the biggest scumbag in this city. I hear he has a pair of dice carved from his ex-wives fingers. Everyone knows that to get any power around here, you gotta roll the dice. And that's what he did. He bet the last mayor for his position ya see. Last mayor had a thing for little girls, so the current guy bet his daughter for the position. I hear that the last guy didn't take the loss too well, and threw himself off the roof of the court house. Of course, I use the word "threw" very lightly. Most people around her won't say it, but I think the last guy "had some help" off that roof, if ya know what I mean.

>>14332766
If I ever found a country it will be sort of lie socialism but disputes and much cash you pony up is based who card games and such.

In line at the grocery store instead of a debit machine a roulette table.

>>14332834
You know, that would all be too simple. There would have to be some sort of organization out there dedicated to abusing what to the ordinary people appears to be luck, when in reality it's just them manipulating the odds.

Well, you know how it goes. In this city, you have to make your own luck.

>>14332868
Loaded dice are just as dangerous as guns and knives.

In the darkest parts of the sewers, the rumours hold, there's a few guys with the skills to alter your luck. Now, we're not talking the normal shit that anyone can do, basic weighting and marking. Nah, these guys are the best. They can make dice that pass all the best scanners. And their dice are always made of bone.

Rumours also hold that you don't the dice. You win them. Lose, and it'll cost you and arm and a leg...

If the combat situation was poker, that would be so damn cool. Wagering health to do damage. Get old always playing poker with the DM but, given the system, why can't the DM be chosen on a dice role.

>>14332915
Guns and knives could easily be used the same way loaded dice are.

>>14332919
I hear they use diamond blades to carve the bones, delicately slicing the dice so that they always fall on the numbers you chose.

So what time period is this?I'm thinking either 20's,50's or early 90's.

>>14332953
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? "

>>14332953
Yeah, basically what I said.

I was thinking 90s. You've got enough tech to do some random number stuff, although the really random algorithms are still confined to big corps. Plus, there's plenty of gaming around then, and we've got some of the modern wargames.

>>14333038

What the clusterfucking god happened to my tenses then?

>>14333038
I don't want things pushed to the future either, I think this would end badly in a LAZORS AND MEHREENS DEFF WURLD.

>>14333077

True, true. Somewhere either retro-tech or near future could work. Possibly, for those familiar with GURPS terminology, TL 7+3? Kind of future stuff, but 1900s style of thing. Dammit, I'm so bad with words, this looks wonderful in my head.

>>14332922
>Go through BBEG's lair.
>Show down
>Cards are dealt
>Things aren't looking good

All in.

>>14333104
Okay, it's the 90s. Now, we could make this for only the rich and powerful, since they're bored and need some real risk to even get them interested in something. The player could be someone trying to infiltrate the rich corporations and families, and try to get their wealth to with as they see fit.

>>14333128
*to do with as they see fit.

Almost Sounds like yugioh with dice only not like that faggot game Dice Dungeon

>>14333104
I like the retro-tech idea, if youv heard of modem punk a style similar to that but less computers.

>>14333142
Could incorporate devils and demons into this world, and each set of dice has a demons soul in it. The stronger the demon, the better the dice. But, obtaining these die is not easy, and not without a hefty price.

The person's soul, or sell years of your life away.

I reckon a bit of both. The rich gamble for fun, usually with only money or land. However, some psychopaths gamble with lives. Some even go down to the streets and gamble with the common people, risking their lives to learn a new game.

The common person gambles as a way of live. Want food? Bet for it. Want a place to stay? Bet for it. Want a person dead? Bet for it.

>>14333174
Lets stay away from demons and that kid of stuff, as fun as a game of Texas hold em with the devil sounds it opens up to many cliches to the atmosphere.

>>14333198
Well I was trying to think of way to have some dice be better than others. I think that players will want to upgrade their "weapons".

>>14333222
Start from dice made from soap, wood, etc. up until you get ones made with perfect proportions. Then you find convincingly "normal" looking dice that are weighted.

Modempunk would be damn awesome. That sort of setting works for me. As far as upgrading goes, maybe give the players rerolls for high skill? Or the ability to "hide" certain cards? I don't like the idea that player skill = character skill, but player skill should heavily imply character skill - gambling isn't fair.

>>14333222

I'd completely avoid that. This game should be similar to DRYH in that there will be little to no advancement. Everyone is equal here in... well what are we calling this again?

>>14333287

Whether you draw a card or a gun, you gotta hope you pleased Lady Luck last night.

This thread cannot die

>>14333447
Hm, I like "Lady Luck" for the title of the game.

Right, I must sleep. 3am, most likely not gonna be able to sleep, gonna have a damn good go. I'll drop an email in here, I'd appreciate it if I had a hand in whatever happens of this. Partly because I love the idea of it, and partly because I'm responsible for a good amount of the posts. But yeah, Pope, be in touch, we'll playtest this sometime. IRC, some reasonable time GMT?

Ok

So what I am proposing is that Gambit is a game where everything is done with little to no stat relations. We make it as random as possible. I realize this won't appeal to most players but, when has anything /tg/'s done appealed to a wide audience?

Anyway, I'm thinking we make a simple system where the players bet the DM. Like an earlier anon said they can bet HP to fight or something similar. Perhaps having a set number of luck chips per player to bet?

Whatever the case I think chance-punk would benefit from a rules light system that reflects the world its made for

>>14333564
just archive it and put something on d4han

Dammit, I should be sleeping by now. I think we could just make a simple card game, customisable decks in lieu of character creation, build from normal playing cards. Anyone who's played caravan in new vegas will know roughly what I mean.

Do me a favour, get this archived under chancepunk or something?
