Would it be possible to play a DnD game where the dice are replaced with coins and every role is a 20 or a 1?
One of my favorite magic items to give players. I don't remember which DM I stole it from, but it's so fun. I don't remember the precise wording but it's something like
All or Nothing Coin
While in possession of this coin you may choose to expend one charge to replace your d20 with a coin for your next attack, save or check. Treat a heads as a natural 20 and a tails as a natural 1.
The coin may hold a maximum of 4 charges at time. At dawn all charges are either depleted or restored (determined by coin flip)
That's actually a pretty awesome item, yoink
A coin, AKA a two-sided die.
The Ricky Bobby school of RPGs. If you ain't first, you're last.
You might be interested in “rolling with emphasis”, a house rule by Brandon Lee Mulligan. Rather than rolling twice and taking the best/worst result, you take the result furthest from 10. Designed for actions that can only end really well or really badly.
