Anyone else read the extra strip where they totally lampoon the d12 but yet this game is d12 based, that's kinda funny.

The game uses d12s so that the poor lonely twelve sider gets some love...

I don't know why the d12 gets so little love. It's my favourite kind of die, personally. I really want a set of the astrology dice (they're d12's with the funny astrology symbols on) to spice up the D+D magic system, but I can't find any cheap.

Indeed. Doesn't the box content description say "2 d12, because we felt sorry for them" somewhere?

Good job I've got another trio of them in my dice box, otherwise there'd be all kinds of confusing re-rolls for Multiattack-ers.

It's because the d12 is used for two things: damage rolls with a greataxe and barbarian/dragon/undead HD. A DM will use them fairly often; players, not so much.

Unless you play a barbarian...

Actually, it comes from the comic (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html), so Rich deserves all the credit. :)

Pokethulhu is d12 based. Uses nothing but d12s..

d8 and d4 get little recognition too. Really it's not so much they're neglected is the following die are elitist buttholes who hog all the glory.

d10
d6
and d20.

d10: Should only be used for percentile, and then it technichaly becomes a d100.

d6: If The Koga wanted to use d6, he'd play a boardgame.

d20: The fact is d20 gets used enough. Any system that uses a d20 will more then likely depend on the d20.
