Dicing Dangers

The desk

Dicing Dangers Editorial Team

The desk behind Dicing Dangers writes and checks every note under this domain. It works to the method printed in the editorial policy: a question first, arithmetic second, prose last, and a reference list at the foot of the note.

What the desk writes about

  • Tabletop role-playing games: skill checks, damage, health, initiative, saving throws.
  • The mathematics behind them: sums of dice, ranges, spread, and comparing two ways of rolling.
  • Dice notation as it is actually used at a table.
  • Building a character from the numbers instead of around a wish.

How a note is checked

  1. The arithmetic is recomputed before writing starts.
  2. Any rule borrowed from a published game is described in the desk’s own words.
  3. A reference work is listed for every figure a reader could not reproduce alone.
  4. The note is re-read for clarity and tone before it leaves the desk.

What the desk will not do

The desk does not publish a session report it did not receive, does not invent a rule, and does not write about real-money play. It does not name an individual editor until that person is assigned to the site and their details are recorded.
