Why do we need dice on Veeky Forums? Role-playing on Veeky Forums is expressly forbidden by the mods.
I know moot gave us the dice feature so we could use them for playing games on the board, but that's not allowed anymore. Can we get rid of the dice, as well as the useless and incorrect sticky about how to use them?

Die in a fire you irritating bitching questfag.
>Newfag that doesn't know about the "X Creation" threads that use dice to randomly create stuff.
Fuck off, you whiny bitch.
Why can't you just use regular dice
I thought the board dice were to make your rolls public. Like when they removed the ability to roll invisibly with noko+dice
Because it's more fun to do it as a group and see what kind of weird shit Veeky Forums's RNG gives us?
Sure, we could use our own dice, but then it'd be just as easy to assume that people are just picking something/fudging rolls.
Roll to see who's in your party.
Rolled 66, 94, 83 = 243 (3d100)
Please don't be a furry please don't be a furry.
dice+d100
Agreed, we should remove dice rolling.
While we're at it, we should also remove your ability to post.
Rolled 94, 89, 7 = 190 (3d100)
Those should be moved to /qst/ along with CYOA threads though. They're literally just quests without plot.
That is still part of playing a game, user.
They only stay around because we're collectively letting it slide and ignoring the no game rule.
There's no "no game" rule.
Veeky Forums is open to games, it's just that /qst/ is better suited for quests and there's more room for them there.
It was people complaining about /qst/ and refusing to use it that made the moderators decide to enforce a strict "quests go into /qst/" policy.
If you have an issue with some of the features of /qst/, send the mods a message through the feedback link at the bottom of this page. Don't complain here.
Shh, Questfag. No more tears.
There is very much a no games rule, user.
Even risk and battletech get removed, and tabletop is right out.
Playing games here is now forbidden, and the only ones we can keep are those that fly under the radar.
Yes, I am piised some whiney shitposters got my battletech removed.
Rolled 3, 6 = 9 (2d6)
*thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa SPLORTCH*
Rolling for how many gallons of semen you swallow!
user, you are misinformed.
All games are now technically disallowed.
>No Battletech
Rolled 4 + 10 (1d100 + 10)
To roll on that one chart when asked to.
That is a general, not a game.
Playing games is forbidden, only discussion.
Quests weren't a problem until there were dozens of them going constantly and bumping discussion off the board.
"Rolling up characters" type threads and so on don't shit up the board.
Also, most quests are fucking terrible.
>dozens of them going constantly
"Dozens" implies more than one dozen, user. I bet you have verifiable evidence that this was happening.
Funnily enough, despite the official mod declaration of too many quests, quesrs were at the lowest point in years before qst was made, and there are less than five active quests on /qst/ at any given time.
Also, most of a thing being shitty isn't a good enough reason to kick an entire thing off a board. If it was, nothing would be left, as most of everything is shit.
Why are you talking about quests?
We are talking about how playing battletech, or any game, is not allowed.
go back to your containment board
I roll to hit you with my +5 sword of slaying little bitches.
remember to multiply by 4 for striking from behind.
Like I did your mom
Why the fuck would you want to play these games on Veeky Forums when there are much better options available?
go back to your containment board
Fuck off.
Because it worked well enough on Veeky Forums and there were many players.
>comic has man being incredulous about how the AD&D UA/DSG falling rules work
>comic gets said rules wrong
...
When in the fuck has anybody tried to play Battletech on Veeky Forums?
All the time?
I used to have regular games.
Shit, we used to play lots of things here. Risk, everyone is john, those flavorful arkham type board games, werewolf.
I don't believe you. The only game I've ever seen played here is Risk.
I don't believe you haven't seen more games.
Nah that falling rule thing is true.
Inb4 some faggot demands a trawl through years of Veeky Forums archives for a source that will change nothing
why the fuck isn't it rolling
Rolled 4 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

Will quest fags EVER stop passive aggressively bitching?
No it isn't. You can't hit 43d6 or 53d6, because falling damage caps at 20d6 +- adjustments for impact surface.
Fuck knows how this interacts with the TA ability to take fractional damage, whether that's 20 full dice plus whatever fractional dice you have or something else.
The TA's falling check really just extends the range you have for not hitting max damage dice.
Judging by antiquestfag standards, they will passive aggressively bitch for at least eight years.
So far, the only person bitching here has been you.
It fits the previous 8 years of bitching from people who share your opinions though, so by all means, carry on.
>Because it worked well enough on Veeky Forums and there were many players.
Which is exactly why quests work so well on Veeky Forums.
"Lots of people who like to roleplay", vs. "a few people who aren't into RPGs who clicked the link to a board they don't understand because they're bored"
>why the fuck isn't it rolling
It's simple user, just put the dice syntax in the email field like the sticky says.
I am also bitching about battletech.
Your copypasta is stale, user.
>I-it's ok when I do it!
>t-they did it first, so I get a free shitposting reign!
Classic
Nobody is doing it except you and Battletech guy, though.
>It's okay when I imagine other people doing it!
You asked a question and got a realistic answer, user. People can passive aggressively bitch for eternity, and nothing will ever stop them other than their own lack of autism.
That is what happens when you reward shitpost tactics, everyone comes to think it is ok.
Roll

>/qst/ is better suited to quests
/qst/ is shit. The only thing that keeps it from looking like a total wasteland is the 72-hour autosage or whatever.
I remember the time I played Call of Cthulhu on Veeky Forums.
I also played a D&D game.
Man, old Veeky Forums was pretty great, all things considered.
