There appears to be more real estate along the circumference.  What if you swapped: put armor type along the radius and die roll ranges along the circumference?

If I understand it, that will give you more slices of pie. Once you move towards the center, that is pretty cramped space. 360/20 = 18 degrees/slice. 360/45 = 8 degrees/slice. I wouldn't be able to use my jumbo crayons. :)

But I'd have to give it a go to find out. Thanks for the feed back boawk.

I thought you would have mapped it out on a PC program.

 That's great if someone else want's to do it. I'd love to see it.
This was a low tech exercise; just simple paper crafts. ;)




I still haven't upgraded to the new stonehenge. I thought the old henge was sufficient. Just some poles in the dirt.

Having some trouble with the Vault.. I'm sure it's me.

These links should work to public access pics from FB.

These are just proof of concept designs. The shortbow table was first. Having 45 different die results was a pain. Has to be a better way.

The Fire/Icebolt Cipher worked out ok. I cut these out of folder stock using a wine tool. The transparent window is a comic book protector sleeve glued onto one side.

You HAND-DRAWN it?
This is sorta crazy. It should have taken eons to to.

Respect.

I just couldn't get the circles to line up correctly with the programs I had. Once I went back to kindergarten basics, it all fell into place.

I might as well use the back of my 'Bolt wheel for Shock/Cold Bolt.
That way, I'll have the most popular bolts on one playing aid.

The last combat of a Sunday night game sometimes has the "9-5" guys nodding in their chairs. Perhaps fidgeting with these will help.
