BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Errrr…I hate wiki sometimes

Since the frequency of sums is the same as for a standard 2d6, what’s the advantage of this Proposal?

I was thinking about having it where later down the line, we could modify our Sicherman Dice by exchanging material for it.

Just a thought

I was also thinking about our ‘Mountain’ dynasty where were able to have dice that we could modify.

“the Onlooker may roll their Sicherman Pair” and “An Settler may choose 1 Sicherman Pair” don’t join up - the Onlooker isn’t a Settler, so wouldn’t be able to set their Sicherman Pair.

We’re already modifying our personal lookup tables for the outcomes of the dice; modifying the dice as well might be overkill.

I see…

Rip

You’re still in the four hour edit window if you want to fix the Onlooker/Settler wording.

I don’t really like this a whole lot. I don’t really see the benefits here. Any of the mechanics you have described could potentially be done in an easier fashion with 2d6.

I think adjusting the ranges slightly to make the dice similarly slightly unbalanced could be interesting

I think I fixed the wording

@TDS

True but each of the Sicherman Dice have different array of values on their specific die

You’re changing “may roll 2d6 twice” (two rolls) to “roll each Settler’s respective Sicherman Pair twice” (currently 24 rolls). This doesn’t match up with “The sums for the two pairs of d6 rolls ...” in the rule’s next sentence.

Oh boy

Hopefully the wording is right.

One part still needs a little fix-up:

“The Onlooker then applies the 2 results of made my the respective Settler’s Sicherman Dice are added together “

Done

Was it? The oddly-worded sentence is still there. You changed the word “my” to “by”, but it still doesn’t make sense. Read it out loud slowly.

If I may offer a suggestion, how about:

“The Onlooker then applies the 2 results made by the respective Settler’s Sicherman Dice that are then added together.”

Hopefully you see the difference.

I don’t…?

Just so you know, I’m feeling a very strong against feeling towards this proposal. While I do believe that this is a very interesting concept, I don’t believe that this is a good time for utilizing it. If most other people feel as though this is a good idea I will happily go along with the general consensus, but I will probably break any close calls towards the against direction.

All complexity, no payoff (yet) and roughly doubles the game’s total chore workload.

I assume the general intention of “The Onlooker then applies the 2 results made by the respective Settler’s Sicherman Dice that are then added together.” is that the Onlooker looks up each result on the Domains table and gives that player those resources directly (replacing the step in Harvesting the Crop without removing it). But we can’t play Nomic on general intentions, the rule needs to statae clearly what it’s doing.

if this is more about a modified variance there might be possibilities but imperial kingmaking could comes into play
