Ein kleines Learning meiner pausierten #Dune-Kampagne: Das System funktioniert durchaus gut, aber ich würde allen raten, mit neuen Spielenden, die das System von #Modiphius noch nicht kennen, im Agents-Modus zu spielen. Als Architects zu spielen ist erstmal ziemlich überfordernd für viele und ehrlich gesagt auch viel mehr Arbeit für die Spielleitung.

RPGaDAY2025 - Day 16 - Overcome
Overcoming the horrible problem of illegible challenge dice in 2d20 games
https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2025/08/16/rpgaday2025-day-16-overcome/
RPGaDAY2025 – Day 16 – Overcome
What’s #RPGaDAY2025 ? See the details here.
Day 16 – Overcome
For this one, I’ll discuss methods of overcoming one of the greatest problems facing humanity today – the near illegibility of the challenge dice for Modiphius’ 2d20 games, specifically the Conan game.
What are challenge dice?
2d20 is the house system for many RPGS from Modiphius – Conan, John Carter of Mars, Fallout, etc. The 2d20 system uses d20s for most tasks, but for damage and other results many 2d20 games use challenge (or combat) dice. A Challenge die is a six-sided die that can return one of the following results: 1, 2, blank, or Effect.
You can of course use a regular six-sided dice, but custom challenge dice make the game flow a lot more smoothly. Thankfully, Modiphius produces custom dice sets for all of their games.
So what’s the problem? The problem is that Modiphius over-designed them a bit. The Conan dice look like crumbling stone. The Star Trek adventure dice (1st Edition only) are star-speckled. They look good, but in a fast-paced game they’re a little hard to read.
Challenge dice for Conan and Star Trek Adventures (STA only uses them for 1st edition)Suggested Fixes
Asking around on and offline, it’s been suggested to me I could use some of the challenge dice for other games, John Carter of Mars specifically. This will work, but buying a lot of these for all of the players can get a little pricey.
My Ugly Solution
My current idea is using some cheap blank six-sided dice and making my own legible challenge dice. I used my Silhouette paper cutter to make some templates, and drew the appropriate symbols on the dice with a black sharpie.
It’s far from perfect. There’s a bit of smearing and I’m not sure how long they’ll last. Next time I’ll try a different paint, and perhaps use some kind of varnish.
Messy but usable.

#JohnWick, #L5RRPG #7thSea etc., remains one of the most exciting #ttrpg designers. He deals with the #Daggerheart scene hype, the #Fear problem, in a correspondingly thoughtful way. But he also offers a solution. Fear reminds me of #MutantChronicles #2D20 Doom, which did not work with munchkins.

Hey #ttrpg community, does #Modiphius have a "DM's Guild"/"Storyteller's Vault" style place/source for #2d20 fan creations? Or even such a source for individual games?
Furthering my descent into #2d20 madness, I just picked up the free #HeroesOfMightAndMagic quickstart. It's the closest they have to a "generic" fantasy game. Between that and the SRD I'll have plenty to read on my laptop at dialysis for a few sessions.
In the past month or so I've picked up the #Fallout #TTRPG and #StarTrekAdventures 2e. Last night, I pulled the trigger and bought the core book for the #JohnCarter core book as well, and today I grabbed the free #2d20 #SRD from DriveThru.
I might be a bit enthusiastic about the system.
Blog: Coping with the Blurring within #ttrpg Game Engines
TL;DR some musings on the challenges I've found with the multiple variations of #2d20 and the #yearzeroengine. Does anyone else find the tweaks to mechanics tend to cause some blurring and confusion in play with folks that have played multiple versions? Would a quick reference on how they vary from the SRD help?

Blog: North Star 2025 SF #ttrpg convention after action report.
TL;DR: last weekend saw the 9th iteration of #NorthStarCon
at the Garrison Hotel in Sheffield. This is my write up. Contains #TravellerRPG, #TheElectricState, #fadingsuns and #2d20 John Carter of Mars, plus some insight on running the event.

Back from a fun weekend of SF #ttrpg games at #NorthStarCon in Sheffield. I ran #TravellerRPG twice, and played #fadingsuns, #ElectricState and #2d20 John Carter of Mars. Proper write up later in the week as I’m ready for a good nap to recover!
Hat tips to @eladrin, @TheTweedmeister, @satsuma, @satbunny, @SavageSpiel, @PaulBaldowski and @ottomancer who I had the chance to say hello to! I’m sure there are others and my apologies if I missed you out!
