Near enough for me!  :)
Can't quite make out which one is a scatter die, and I've looked very closely.  ;)

Spinning ladies eh?



The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

"Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images


present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking"

I'm guessing that Leon doesn't plan to add these to the range or he can't work out what the thread is actually about as the usual suspects have dragged it down to their level.  ;)

So it's just a dice with arrows on it?  I'm sure I can sort something out if that's the case.

Mine spins clockwise, but I've got all the attributes for a left handed brain person?!

I thought as much. Looks like a very nice setup. Do you know if there are any piccies from when the game was in full swing?

I'm sure that the "Meenester fae Dundee" was snapping away throughout the game with his iPhone, but they havent surfaced yet.

Ah right, I've not seen them before, and Dave didn't know what they were either!

It was only when I got BKCII that I heard of them, have been getting by without so far but as IABSM3 uses them too thought I'd look in to getting the proper kit.

Failing a scatter die you can use a D12 to determine direction with each number refering to a clock face.

If you only have D6s (and if you have what sort of gamer are you?) then roll 2D6 of different colours the first is 1-3 then take the number on the second dice as a clockface number between 1 and 6, if the first dice is 4-6 then take the second dice number as being between 7 and 12 on a clockface.

If you've only got a digital watch or want more granualrity you're on your own.
