before I roll these dice, does anyone know how to do mass rolls on SV? I don't want to keep cluttering the forum with dice.

You can just throw multiple dice at once, and also throw new sets in the same post. When you edit, it even gives the option to throw another dice in that set.
chrisleech threw 6 6-faced dice. Reason: Example 5 Rolls of 6 Faces Total: 15
2 2 6 6 4 4 1 1 1 1 1 1
chrisleech threw 6 10-faced dice. Reason: Example 6 Rolls of 10 Faces Total: 33
10 10 2 2 1 1 8 8 3 3 9 9

That's what I do. I've done that twice already. What I want to do is roll several sets of dice without cluttering the page full of dice rolls.
 
Can you spoiler dice?


Edit: I can't find a way to spoil them because they're outside the text box and that's where the spoiler code is placed.

Thank you. Please link it?
 
Something I just remembered, I'd like to invest in the eventual creation of something similar to Sega World but instead of just Sega, it would involve our partner's games and stuff like Viacom, Square, Fire Emblem and (hopefully) Interplay as to not just attract children but teenagers and young adults...

Huh, didn't know that was a thing. Not sure what's all there but would it also include stuff like a theater and food options?

Mostly thinking of places like Chuck E Cheese and Gadgets/Looney Tunes Revue. Also yes, there was a animatronic restaurant that used the Looney Tunes and it also included a bar area for adults. Chuck E Cheese cause arcades let alone the connection they had.


Also just the thought of a location showing mainly Spongebob and Sonic related shows/movies, let alone any other franchises...So basicly movie theater but a more select showings.

Most likely will be added as to keep the parents occupied and stay longer.

I'm not surprised about it but it wouldn't be hard to have an animatronic restaurant but with how *creepy they looked in the 90s and early 2000s... yeah. Hell, if/when we do get Interplay, we could create an exclusive area for teenagers and adults with post-apocalypse theme that would also include events that allows people to feel like their living in the wasteland.

We could also make a deal with a animation studio, either Western or Japanese, to create an anime movie/TV show of Wasteland and eventually Fallout.

@RadiantGV So I'm guessing it's on a hiatus...?

Yeah, I was on one of those moods. Current events aren't helping, but we live and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so

Also was busy with other projects. Might have to overhaul the dice rolling, too; make it less overwhelming.

I suppose we might be able to only count the sales from each month's releases... that might be better than just having all of the dice at once.

Ah ok, good luck with the rolls and real life!

Also, what do you think of my idea on bringing Interplay under our umbrella?
 
Thanks to a Discord server I'm in, I have new information on Sega history that might be relevant to the quest. It seems that in 2023, Shunichi Nakamura, a former executive at Sega who worked there during the 90s, wrote a retrospective on his time at Sega where he explained that in the 90s Sega's branches outside of Japan didn't affect how Sega of Japan did its accounting, and that was a big problem because Sega of America and Sega of Europe both had lots of stock they weren't selling (I've heard this is because they needed to make lots of units to get retailers willing to buy from them, but I'm no business expert, so I can't say if that's true), which naturally meant that those branches were bleeding money in a way that the top brass in Japan couldn't see until they started looking more closely at all the books, and that didn't happen until the late 90s. And by that time, it was already too late to save Sega's console manufacturing business. I don't know what we can do about this set of issues in the quest, but maybe there's something.
 
Oh yeah, a Sega fansite mentioned then-VP for Sega Irimajiri's own lectures on his time there. I wasn't aware that US retailers held that much purchasing power over manufacturers, though I shouldn't be surprised.
