321 Hero* Dice: A post about unusual dice anatomy.

This post briefly mentions HeroQuest. As such, we must begin by viewing the sacred liturgy. Once this is done, you may return for the rest of this blogpost.

The structure of the dice:

Several games use six-sided dice with the following properties:

• 3 of the faces share the same symbol, usually indicating a successful 'attack' result.
• 2 of the other faces share a second symbol, usually indicating a successful 'defense' result.
• The final singular face has its own distinct marking.

What follows are some examples, and my thoughts about adapting these dice for RPGs.
