Slice & Dice Reroll Cantrip Probability

by

Once again I have been playing a lot of Slice & Dice lately, and decided to share a few more probability tables for the game. If you want to learn more about Slice & Dice, my previous probability tables, and how to use them, check out my previous post where I shared the initial tables I had made. This time I’ve made some tables for scenarios that include heroes with Reroll Cantrips — faces that, when rolled, allow you to reroll all of your dice additional times.

tonehack Custom Rift Wizard Tileset

by

With the full release of Rift Wizard onto Steam this week, I’d like to share two custom tilesets that I collaborated with k.hoops to create. The “Rift Rogue” tileset features my twitch channel mascot, the Rogue, as the player-character sprite. The “Salt Wizard” is a goofier take on the character, which features them doing the … Read more
