How to mimmick the effect of a D8 using only D6s
So, as you may have noticed, to use Phaleks, I need eight and ten sided dices, sadly, I only have 6 sided dices(LOTS of them)
I have been able to do it so far, but my way doesn't seem right.
how would you create D8 and D10 roles using D6s?

Alternatively, go to a gaming store and buy some D10s. Or order them online.

1d6+1 gives you approximately the same statistics.

Start with 1.
Roll a d6. If it's even, add +1.
Roll a d6. If it's even, add +2.
Roll a d6. If it's even, add +4.
There you go, perfect probability distribution for a d8. But really Silverdream's suggestion is the best one.

6 - Roll a d6.
7 - On a 5 or 6, ignore the result and go back to step 6.
8 - Flip a coin.
9 - If heads, add 4 to the result.
Now you have a d8.

There are probably a handful of virtual dice apps, or you can just buy dice at a local gaming store. They're usually really overpriced, but it's worth actually having real dice.

Yeah, problem is I live in the middle of no where in a country that just sits back on its ass while the other countrys do cool stuff and in my tiny village there isn't even One Shop!
I should look up swiss game stores on google

There is a lot of free dice rollers even for Android, so if you have a mobile phone with such system, just go to android shop.
You can even pregenerate just table in excell or libre office spreadshit with random function - for such dice... - everytime, when you roll just delete with pen the next number...
