How do you roll 1d2?

[QuickLyRaiNbow]

Thing I learned today: the official method of rolling 1d2 is to roll any dice, with an odd number counting as 1 and an even number counting as 2. Rolling any dice and counting any number below half as 1 and any above as 2 is presented as an alternative. I've also been at a table where a guy flipped coins. I usually use the low-high method.

What about you?

[Naanomi]

D4, halfed, rounded up. Or more generally, high/low on any die

[Kane0]

I usually take a D6, low is 1 and high is 2, but you can use any die really. I prefer this over the odds/evens way.

A coin toss is also good but it has an annoying habit of either disappearing or going way further than a roll so it's more difficult to read and recover.

[Malifice]

Roll a a dice any dice.

Over half value its a 2. Under, its a 1.

[Stelio Kontos]

Eeny-meeny-miney-moe is a sensible choice.

[Coffee_Dragon]

Rock-paper-scissors, lose is 0, win is 1, shark mitt is chomp.

[User_Undefined]

Flip a coin or use /r 1d2 if I'm in Roll20.

[Arkhios]

Personally I prefer rolling any die with "odds" as 1, and "evens" as 2.

[Talamare]

Roll any dice

Odds is 1
Evens is 2

[JellyPooga]

Roll a d12;

1-3: 2
4-5: 1
6-7: 2
8-11: 1
12: 2

It's as arbitrary as any other method, right?

[Asmotherion]

Well, I'd most probably flip a coin or roll a d100 and treat it as a 50% chance.

Still, virtually any cannonical die cuts it, by either calling low-high, or odds-evens. Binary choices are the easy part.

[Millstone85]

Low-high.

But it would be fun to find one of those:

I used to have a coin with 1 painted on one side and 2 painted on two side the other. But we use d2 ro rarely I don't know what became of it.
Now I use low 1, high 2 on whatever die is to hand.

[Toofey]

I superposition a 1 and a 2 and let the probabilities sort it out.

*hardy har har, I amuse myself

I typically use the d6 method. But honestly, I'm having trouble coming up with times I've actually needed a d2 in play and can't think of any off hand, I say the d6 method because the d3 was relatively common in AD&D

[Anonymouswizard]

I'm a fan of the d4 halved rounded up method, functionally equivalent to 'roll die, below half = 1, above half = 2' but I find using a caltropd4 means that I'm just that little bit less likely to forget that it's a d2 rather than a d3 or a d5 (I've used all of them before, I think once all appeared in the same system). I also once used this when I grabbed a d12 when I meant to use a d6, I think, it was years ago if it happened.

[Joe the Rat]

For years, I kept a 100 peso coin in my dice bag for this kind of roll, heads = 1, tails = 2.
Now, I just grab a die and go hi/low

[iTreeby]

Impregnate someone, wait nine months female =1 male =2 on twins, reroll.

[Siosilvar]

Impregnate someone, wait nine months female =1 male =2 on twins, reroll.

That's not equivalent to a fair coin flip. Your statistics will be off by about 1% to say nothing of the coin landing on edge or any individual biases one way or another.

[GloatingSwine]

Low high.

Usually on a D6 because those are easy to read quickly.

[Coffee_Dragon]

Roll 14d6, if the number of even rolls is even then the result is even.

I think there may be some kind of weird bias though because most of the time I don't even.

[Theodoxus]

odds or evens on a d7. Because why play, when you can just be odd(s)?

[Gryndle]

I flip a coin.
My wife picked up this Loot Crate that had a big Assassin's Creed coin. I keep that with my dice for 1d2 rolls or to use as a reminder when I have used my reaction during a round. that coin actually gets used for a lot each session.

Actually there a lot of my wife's trinkets that get used as props or minis during game...I know I was running one undead themed dungeon crawl and I used some of her make-up containers, perfume bottles and such as props (she has a lot of Kat Von D and several of those bottles are skull shaped in different colors, some are close to "medium" and some "large" game sized) I have used them for dungeon furnishings and once for undead beholders.

And now I am on a pain-killer infused rambling spree...so maybe nap time

[Lombra]

The troll comments here are pure gold.

Anyways I use a coin.

[sithlordnergal]

I generally flip a coin. I even have a really nice pokemon coin to flip. X3

[Anonymouswizard]

Impregnate someone, wait nine months female =1 male =2 on twins, reroll.

What if the twins are both the same sex?

I also assume you have a few women ready for when you need to roll multiple d2s at once? A friend of mine once had to, and unfortunately he used to get his dice from the local pub...

[Longman]

d6 high low.

There's a player at one table who struggles with this. "But I rolled a 6!"

:amused:

Roll 1d6, even is 2 odd is 1. Been doing that for quite a while. Coin flip also works.

@itreeby: LOL. :smallbiggrin:

[Protato]

I flip a coin.

[LordEntrails]

I take two beers from the fridge, shake one up, mix them up and hand it to the player. If it explodes I laugh. If not, he rolled a 2.

[Potato_Priest]

I have a small cardboard cutout with little flaps covering numbers: two ones and one two. When we need to roll a d2, the rolling player picks a door, and then I reveal one of the doors with a one behind it (but not the one that the player picked). The player gets to decide whether he or she wants to switch doors or keep their first choice.

How does this interact with the 1d2 Crusader?
