yeah, KYS too, fag

I think a dice beyond 6 numbers is too complicated for kids

but maybe I'm wrong

it only has four numbers

but 12 distinctions

the remaining eight sides are shape/colour

The problem is I don't see how one can make a game based on entirely randomized factors more "balanced"

well, balanced in the sense that no roll can throw you halfway across the board

Can you give a description of the board?

well, that's the thing, i don't know yet

I understand that it's divided into different sections represented by different shapes with different colors

i need a sequence for the fields

Ah, ok

like, with boardgames it's usually a D6 and the fields are identical, but the colour/shape twist makes that useless

Do it kinda like a combination of Monopoly and CandyLand

like:
1, 2, 3, Red, 4, 5, 6, Blue, etc

no, the fields aren't numbered

So something like : red square, blue circle, green star, etc.

yes

technically three different rolls can put you on the same field

probably have to go with a displacement rule (you push the opponent a field backwards if you land on them)

I thought about making cards, but that shit gets lost and damaged real easy, and a die makes it not predetermined (while cards like in Monopoly would)

why dont you just make a sketch or just code an ez program to help you with testing?

yeah, just code it, let me open up my code machine and punch in a few codes like the hacker I am

there are already tons of features of such a thing and basically from what i can tell you just need a dice 12. Furthermore, elaborate more on your "progression system" because from what I can tell there is none, and in order to make such "balanced" you'd need to solve ez statistical variants or make combinations of such rules.

see, I don't know what you're talking about, and that is the main obstacle here

> elaborate more on your "progression system" because from what I can tell there is none

picture a series of coloured shapes connected by a line, you "progress" that line with dice rolls until you land on the final field

it's not exactly an open-world MMORPG

does all the different variants count on the "line"? i.e. are they unique or duplicatable.

that's the thing, there are 16 possible fields (four colours × four shapes), and I'm thinking the length of the line is either 32 or 48 (+ starting field)

which makes each variant appear 2-3 times

and, like I said, if any other metric trumps the shape/colour balancing, I'm willing to have more yellow circles than red ones

but not extremely so

actually, I may just increase that to 64 fields (+start)

although, that would depend on what the actual average roll is for this thing

heh I know how to make em suffer 😉 instead of a line make it not an 2^x limit. Starting point middle of the dodecagon and then choose your 16 different shape varients and a specific sequences makes you win.

4D CHESS

like, you'd have thought a channel of gamers would have at least one guy who knows this shit really well.

admittedly, board games and videogaes are different breeds

yes because the problem imo with ya thing is that the progression is like wtf? so you get a d12 toss it, get a shape then go to that shape?
