Damned if I ever saw this before....
(1 viewing) (1) Guest
The way I hope to run this is a separate thread for each chapter, or if necessary subchapter of the rules, hashing out each one until we get it right. If you are just joining, do not feel obligated to read every post in every thread.

I am designing this for you, but I will on occasion be intractable about changes someone is pushing for. But if I'm flat out wrong, make me see why I'm wrong. One thing that will not change is that EABA is supposed to be a general system. Anything specific enough that it only applies to a specific gameworld should be restricted to that gameworld's setting book.

I hope it's OK to post this here, it's a link to another rpg site. Greg seems col with taking elements from other games so I think this should be OK with him.

It's a thread about "dice maps". Never heard of a dice map before? Neither had I. I don't know if this is something greg will want to integrate into EABA 2, but if anyone's interested in it, here's the link.

They've been in use for many years for certain Warhammer branded games.

They've been panned pretty thoroughly by many gamers...


  • you essentially need them in a box, or to be willing to chase dice.
  • edge-resolution issues are problematic - is that die in box A or B?
  • they are not intuitive - unlike random roll tables
  • The examples I've seen are visually busy and unappealing.

I'm with Aramis... looks like a solution in need of a problem.

I'm not pimping them, I'd just never even heard of them before, as apparently a lot of people on the thread hadn't. I just offered it up as a choice for people who hadn't seen them before.

Looks like it might be a new form of random chart, basically.
