When to Use This System
InsightRPG works best when you want your team to practise decision-making under uncertainty - crisis response, strategic pivots, stakeholder conflicts, or any situation where there is no single right answer. It is not a replacement for formal war-gaming, quantitative modelling, or compliance training. If the goal is discussion and insight rather than a precise numerical outcome, this system is for you.
Dice Reference
Dice are fun to roll, fair, and the best random number generator for the tabletop. If a die is used to determine an outcome, it will be noted with the notation Dx, where x is the number of sides on the die.
Standard Dice
- D2
- A two-sided die. (A two-sided die is a coin!) Heads or tails, 1 or 2.
- D4
- A four-sided die shaped like a tetrahedron (triangular pyramid).
- D6
- The classic six-sided cube—the most familiar die.
- D8
- An eight-sided die shaped like an octahedron (two square pyramids joined at the base).
- D10
- A ten-sided die shaped like a pentagonal trapezohedron. Often used in pairs for percentile rolls.
- D12
- A twelve-sided die shaped like a dodecahedron.
- D20
- A twenty-sided die shaped like an icosahedron—the signature die of tabletop RPGs.
