Hello. I found this extension easy to understand and use. What do the numbers on page 6 represent?
I'll use the THING oracle as an example. If you are playing diedream and want the name of a random object, you would use the THING oracle. You use the diedream system of "rolling" which is thinking up two random two-digit numbers, say 31 and 16, add them together and get 47, add the 4 and the 7 together and get 11, and then add the 1 and the 1 together and get a 2. So, you rolled a 2 on the THING oracle, which is a T, which stands for TOOL. From there, you use imagination and creativity to envision a tool. It could be something to cut, hammer, pry, fasten, or maybe measure.
Page 6 is meant to be a series of columns, so you can see which letters of each oracle correspond to rolls of which numbers. It is meant to be similar to the graphic in the upper right hand corner of page 2 of the core diedream rules.
This may be an inappropriate place to ask, but I have a question.
Sometimes, I realize that I'm using the same numbers repeatedly without even noticing.
Also, I tend to choose small, repeating numbers that are easy to calculate.
The numbers 1, 5, and 7 appear repeatedly.
For example, 71 and 11, 22 and 15, 17 and 11, 51 and 11, etc.
I tried various things, for example, I tried setting one of them to the day of the month.
I always feel like something is wrong, and it's really bothering me.
I also tried "The Silence of the Dice," but it still puts a little bit strain on the brain.
Do you know of any good methods?
Maybe try to remember the "tens" value (i.e., 30s, 40s, 50s) of at least one of the last numbers that you chose and then avoid that on the next one. For example, if you chose 31 and 12, which you would add to gather to make 43, and then 4 and 3 is 7, so you rolled a 7. Perhaps try to remember that you chose a number in the 30s and then on the next one have the first number be something in the 40s, 50s, etc. That might work.
