We frequently use the D10 or percentile in our WFRP3 games.

It comes up most often for resolution suggestion of unresolved chaos star or unresolved comet effects. The player's guide had suggestions for these, so I made up a little chart with a d10 (although, I'm looking to expand it now

I also use a d30 for random skill selection inspiration. Sometimes I also draw from a deck of tarot cards or Williamsburg Aesop's Fable cards for inspiration as well (on the fly).

The percentile comes up when I need inspiration on a random item (I roll and approximate from the list in my house rules), and for career choice generation. As I keep my career sheets in binder pages (I got the 4/page negative archival pages), they're not something that we can just "randomly draw from."

We have a mystic in the party, so I also use the random Omen chart from Liber Fanatica 7 for creepy foretellings about future events in the story.

What I really need now are some scary warhammerism variants on Magical Sight (probably would make a good article for Liber Fanatica 10). Realms of Soercery 2e had good ideas here that could be expanded upon.

jh

Nope, except as wound counters for some creatures. For randomizing things like sewer and marsh encounters or how strong morrslieb is in the sky I use decks of homemade cards.

I found a good use for d10 dice. When I played a Sigmarite priest I didn't like having various chits on my recharging favor, spells, action cards, etc. It felt like a mess. Placing a d10 (which can display "0") on top of an action card works well as a recharge tracker.

Don't forget that we use d100 for the "Dooming Roll" too!

Even though WFRP has its own unique dice, it feels good to have some of the old polyhedrons lying around.

i also use the d4,d6 and d10 as a way to determine for expample targets hit, hitpoints of a henchman or what happens with a chaos start/too many banes. comes in handy sometimes

You can play RPGs with dice that dont have Hammers and Swords on them? Whaaa!?

Totally ordering a deck of those Fable cards, they're fantastic!

Also, yes…I tend to use percentile dice for everything from deciding who a misfired arrow hits, to rolling on once of my many random tables (encounters, weather, terrain, hazards, etc).

There are some things that are just hardwired into my GM-genes when it comes to randomization in-game. I tend to use d20's or even d100's for rumour lists and random encounters regardless of the game system I'm running. d12's are great for hurling at players, and for getting a quick clockwise check for bouncing items, falling things (or even time of day on occaision). Using numbered dice to truly randomize targets comes in handy from time to time (in the case of a hail of arrows or some other type of situation).

For gambling I've been known to initiate actual dice games of craps, and I've used jacks for games of knucklebones.

In general, everything has its place. And sometimes I just need some straight numbers instead of organizing a toss result of Chicken-Pirate-Hamster-Sigmar's Comet into a randomization result.
