RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Percentile dice (two ten-sided ones) are read with one die representing the 10s digit, the other the ones digit.

00 and 0 = 100

10 and 0 = 10

The shit people come up with as alternatives to reading the results are wrong

That is the correct way and is even given as examples. What is wrong with people

How else are people reading them?

A guy I played with in university's read them as addition, which is the same as reading them as digits with the exception of the tens.

00 + 0 was 10 (because the "0" on a d10 is usually read as 10)

10 + 0 was 20

90 + 0 was 100
