Description:
To me, "old school" is evocative of more than just a style of play. There was the thrill of finding new excuses to use weirdly-shaped dice. There was the fun of rolling on random tables, even when it wasn't absolutely necessary to do so. There was the overwhelming urge to quote Monty Python incessantly, make painful puns, and engage in Stan Lee-style hyperbole. If that's already your particular cup of grog, or you just want to see what the fun is about, you owe it to yourself to check out 30d30: Charts & Tables That Make the Most of Your Biggest Die. There are things that are useful, there are things that are silly, there are things that are a bit of both, but the whole thing is an entertaining read. Tables included are:
