Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD APR 28: Do you like games that sometimes have you roll to see how your character reacts (e.g. roll against a personality trait or a belief), or do you prefer to be in complete control?

I have no problem with randomly generating character emotional reactions than I do with randomly generating their physical reactions. Presumably these reactions would still leave some space for creating the scene through roleplay.

The style certainly matches the dice you have, even though the colours, quantities and types are different. According to the Wikipedia entry, the game came with D4, D6, D8, D10 and D12; reviews on rpg.net and here on the Geek mention only D4, D6, D12 and D20 (the latter review says that the D20 is indeed numbered 1-10 twice).
Following on from what Eric said about dice being exchanged, I think it's quite possible that GW ran out of the usual D20s they included in the set and replaced them with a D10 and a "true" D20. Colours probably varied from set to set, too, depending on what they had in stock. I reckon there's a pretty good chance that you've got the original dice that came with that particular set. Nice!

It's a veeery long time since I saw the original boxed set, but I did some digging around, and found this photo on www.dicecollector.comThe style certainly matches the dice you have, even though the colours, quantities and types are different.

Correction, there are TWO Elite Dangerous ttRPGs.
Elite Encounters which does include the lore from Elite (I proofread this, and my group playtested it).
Elite: Dangerous RPG plus expansions, which does not include Elite lore.

There is an Elite Dangerous RPG. It is published by Spidermind Games.
I've got the CR - it works ok but you really need the background from the video games to really get into it.

Interestingly, the college he has chosen does not allow phones. They take all the kids' phones away on the first day of school and return them at the end of the semester. (He only has a flip phone anyway.) The school's technology policy is deliberately restrictive. So no dice rolling apps. You do it the old-fashioned way or not at all.

Level 20 4e characters are essentially demigods. The game planed out at that point. There wasn't much left to do.
