One must climb to heights unmeasured
Two degrees below zero, after only
Three hours into the treacherous hike
Four small buildings found tucked away
Five hours left until the next sunrise
Six heavily clothed and heavily armed men stand before her
          preventing her from entering the inn

Her story continues...

One step sinking deeper than the last
Two boots filled to the brim with sludge
Three wild gators looking for a meal
Four arrows to start things off from a distance
Five arrows more to thin the pack by two
Six times the last one takes a slash from her sword
          until it dies belly up

Her story continues...

2d4

One heads through the Southern Gate
          Into the swamps of strange new creatures
One heads towards the Northern Pass
          Up to the frozen tundra of unforgiving freeze
One heads through the broken section of the Western Wall
          Onto the war-torn remains of yesterday's devastation
One heads to the Eastern Docks
          Towards an uncharted ocean; sailing to the unknown

The story begins...

1d20

1d20

The legendary decider of chance
And skill
Battling for the decision
Over the fate of the adventurers
All in the same realm
Of chance over skill
Be warned that even the mightiest
Can critically fail
Have hope that even the meekest
Can critically succeed
Caution and hope
Or, is it hope in caution
So very many possibilities
Roll the die
By which dragon slaying, dungeon dwellers
Identify their fellows
And let the adventure begin

1d12

1d12

Dozens of dungeons,
Dragons, deities, and deaths;
Deaths in the name
Of Destiny deferred.
All dungeon diving adventurers
Are doomed to death;
So long as their drive
Falters under devastating defeats.
Defend yourself!
Defend your allies!
Defend your home!
Defend all that you deem worthy
Of your dedicated sacrifice.

1d10

1d10

The classic scale
Of high to low
Low to high
A double digit goal
Now obtainable
With a single roll
Percentages checked
Numbers to match
The parts of the whole
An ominous countdown
To the unknown, dark corners
Of the hidden passageways
That lead to the secrets kept
From those without the seeker's strength

1d8

1d8

Two pyramids sit atop the other
The base of either interchangeable
At the beck and call
Of gravity's whim
Fate's indifference
And Destiny's inconsistent influence
More sides
Leading to more possibilities
But the original four
Are never far behind
