Dan & Paul discuss Dice Mechanics: How do you use them bones in your TTRPG games? Do you prefer the linear model of just a single d6 or d20? Or are multiple dice with bell-shaped results more interesting: summing dice, dice pools, Advantage and Disadvantage? What happens when you have opposing teams making opposed rolls against each other? And why do we use dice in the first place anyway? Wandering DMs Paul Siegel and Dan “Delta” Collins host thoughtful discussions on D&D and other TTRPGs every week. Comparing the pros and cons of every edition from the 1974 Original D&D little brown books to cutting-edge releases for 5E D&D today, we broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch so we can take viewer questions and comments on the topic of the day.

This week, we're looking at the top 10 board game dice mechanics. These are not necessarily the top 10 dice games, but the strategy board games and card games that have the most innovative and interesting dice mechanics.  In addition to our top ten list, we have our question of the week, asking the listeners what their most anticipated games announced or released at Gen Con are.  Next up, we dig into acquisition disorders. Anthony talks about the new miniatures game from Fantasy Flight Games, Star Wars: Legion, and Chris digs into new card crafting games from AEG - Edge of Darkness and Manastorm for Mystic Vale.  At our table this week, Anthony had a chance to play The Climbers and Chris shares his feedback about the first two expansions for Mystic Vale, as well as the newest card crafting game from AEG, Custom Heroes.  Finally, we share our top 10 board game dice mechanics.  You still have a few days to enter our Summer Upgrade contest as well - make sure to visit the contest page and signup for a chance to win $50!
