Dice for A World Aflame?

NickNascati:
All,
     So it seems I will need Average Dice and D3s to play this.  Any idea where I can get a couple of each without breaking the bank?

D3 - take a D6 and divide by 2 (1 or 2 = 1, 3  or 4 = 2, higher is 3, role playing games have used this method since the 1970’s. You’ll be pleased to know there is no need to buy new dice. This is the method described in the rules - see “equipment needed”).

Average dice - try here https://www.thediceshoponline.com/dice/2249/Chessex-Opaque-Yellow-Black-Average-D6-Dice  or http://highland-games.co.uk/shop/average-dice/ or buy blank dice and make your own.

Average dice were hugely popular with WRG style rules in the 1980’s and can be really useful where rule writers wish to avoid extreme chance. (Alternative, use a normal D6 but treat a 1 as an extra 3 and a 6 as an extra 4. This method avoids you buying any extra dice).

Hope this helps.

Sparrow,
              Thanks, I will definitely use your advice.

I found some dice sized wooden cubes I had forgotten.  Making Average Dice and D3s.
