Well, FT2 does suggest the use of d12's for determining random
directions, but...
OTOH, as FT _mostly_ uses d6s (and there is an alternative, d6-based,
way of determining random directions as well) it possible (and this
could start a whole new thread if I'm not lucky) that FT players only
carry d6's. So introducing new dice would cause an inconvenience to
them :-)
