What does “roll 1DN” mean?

Do the edges of the map wrap?

Henri: It’s equivalent to DICEN in the GNDT (standard gaming notation - xDy means x amount of y-sided dice).

oh, ok. Thanks.

And how will the dice be rolled? Will a dice option be added to the GNDT?

There is a DICE option in the GNDT - if you haven’t already I suggest skimming through the Newbie Guide.

Ah, I see. I skipped over that part of the Guide when reading it before.

Ienpw III, yes, “The Eternities Map wraps at the edges.” from the rule 2.4.

I’ve changed ‘1DN’ to ‘DICEN’ on the basis that it’s a grammar error and clearly unambiguous.

Though is “Cardinal Direction” clear enough? Couldn’t I say that ‘north’ is actually to the right?

It really depends how your monitor is oriented.

Maybe it should specify that up is north.

Clucky: If you say so before rolling, sure.

But you just need to pick a “Cardinal direction” before rolling. So I pick “North” and then after the fact decide that north is to the right.

So maybe it should specify that up is north.

Clucky: I don’t think that would fly.

Or, we could specify that north is up in the rule so we can avoid all this? no?

We could, but I can’t edit the proposal.

Do we have to make a new proposal?

Yes.
