You made the rules, man. You should write them more clearly.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

You seem to be forgetting the most important rule in the entire rulebook; the Rule of Fudge.

Overruled! The point of rules is to argue about them.

Anyway I could not have been more clear in communicating their unclearness.

It's clear then: the rule for d0 will remain unclear. It doesn't matter anyway, because no rule calls for d0 and no sane person will ever use on for fear of inducing the rule of unclarity.

However, I continue to argue in favour of my first argument. I deem that if a d0 is rolled and the result is 0, a roll of d6 is called for because it is a critical success. The rule clearly states that when the highest number is rolled on a die, it is declared a critical success. And 0 is the highest of 0, eh?

I'd like to add the fascinating side note that, since a Critical Failure only occurs when all dice come up specifically as "1," it means that any roll involving at least one d0 can never be a true Critical Failure.

Nothing better to help settle an argument than good ol' Calvin & Hobbes.

I'd just like to take a minute to point out fuzzy d20s: Image

And also I have a green d0. My friend informed me that it was in fact a tennis ball, but I informed him that he was in fact an idiot.

Does it have a giant black '0' on it? If it doesn't it isn't a d0.

And remember that it has to be on the zeroth face.

Still, all rolls against Spaceman become a d0. Therefore, the rule of unclarity must be made clear... No, nevermind. Also, stop motion is up.

Sweet. Needs music though. The silence is creepy. However, Breaking Benjamin's 'Wish I May' provided the kickassedness this needed for me.

You think Mike could give us a decal for the Spaceman?
