I first encountered d66 only recently - Hard City RPG. In my opinion, it wasn't only just the right Goldilocks amount of choices or results, not too many, not too few, it was a bonus to read dice the other way around guilt free. 36 or 63? No one's watching but me, so let's have a pick!

Now when I'm creating a game (which I'm not promoting right now!), I can't help but feel it's going to mostly be a set of d66 options and choices and lists. That 36 item list for almost any item is so much nicer than 6 or 20 or the d100. I always felt internally that d100 was awkward. I can't put my finger on it, but it's not a good feeling when I see d100. Actually...

The only d100 I do like and enjoy digging into is from that cyber future add-on : Augmented Reality : Liked it so much, I bought the physical. Random Realities is a similar treat of a world building oracle using the d66 (I only just heard of that doing quick research for this post).

But since I plan to work quite hard and throw some d66 stuff your way someday, I wanted to see if there's any convincing me that something's better for world building, (even in group setting RPGs) than d66, is there?

Hello all. I'm interested in creating a play space for people to explore themes in Japan - Samurai and Ronin are the subject, but what I came to ask was what would a traveler find at various posts large and small along the highway?

I wouldn't be surprised if I was imagining this all wrong, but like small outposts in the old American Southwest had some essentials besides lodging and place for vice, what could they have been in Japan? Details like this are readily available for Medieval era games but less so for a journey along the routes like Tokaido.
