I was scrolling through YouTube Shorts when a video about d% came up.
The presenter was showing two percentile d10s. One was showing 00. The other was showing 0.
He was claiming that it was common for people to interpret this roll as a 10.
Buh?
I've been playing RPGs for over 40 years. I've played with people who have seen that roll as 100. I've played with people who have seen that roll as Zero. I have played with people who had extremely odd ideas and perceptions of things. I've played with some extremely dim bulbs.
I have NEVER met anyone who would have interpreted that roll as a 10. I think even the player I had who could not distinguish a d4 from a d20 would have slapped someone for suggesting that combo was a roll of 10.
Is this a real thing out in the world? Are there people who actually interpret a d% roll of 00 and 0 as a 10? Or is the YouTube Creator just making up stupid bullshit?
