2015-01-29: Zero Dice, a story dice generator
Updated Zero Dice so you can also select regular dice or Fudge/Fate dice. Some of you may have noticed that it is easy to tweak the results. That's acceptable because the main purpose of Zero Dice is either to use it on-line with friends as a story challenge game or to use Zero Dice for for your solo gaming needs. In a solo game, the only person that you're cheating is yourself and hopefully you're getting a better story out of the effort. Enjoy!
2014-08-22: I'm proud to host some of my son's games as well. If you like the idler style of games, check out SHMUP Idler. Basically an idler is kind of like an interactive screen saver and game combined. This is still a work in progress, but you can still play it.
