Whelp I jumped down a rabbit hole of how best to play solo rpgs on the go. A lot of them require a combo of regular cards, tarot cards, and various dice so I decided to figure out a way to combine them all and just carry around a set of small dnd dice. I've found all that info in various places and just wanted to put them all in one place.

The alphabet can be done in numerous ways but I've decided on a d6 + d20 (optional d4) because I would rather count the alphabet on my fingers than read a chart.

The d6 can be any 6 letters of the alphabet, the vowels, the first or last set. For simplicity's sake I chose the last 6 so I don't have to reference a chart every time I want to roll a letter.
The d20 is obviously the remaining letters
The d4 indicates which die to read from, a 1 is the d6 and 2-4 are the d20

Cards are a d12 + d4 With the 4 being the suits and the 12 being A/K-Q.
If the 1 is rolled I'd roll any die and say evens are A and odds are K

This is all well and good but tarrot? How do you do that with dice?

This youtube video has a download to dice divination made by the two people credited and while it isn't simple math like the previous ones it is very interesting if you're interested in tarot cards. Of course that's for actual divination, for just drawing a card like a deck of cards you'll need:
a d20 for the major arcana minus the world and the fool
a d6 + d10 for the 56 minor arcana with the highest numbers representing 0 and a double zero being a reroll
a d4 for the elements
I can't be bothered to figure out the mathematically best die to roll for major vs minor arcana so I'm of the opinion that the d8 should be rolled with 1 & 2 being major, just so I dont have to reroll a die.

And tada! You can now do a solo rpg with just a set of dnd dice. I'm sharing this so I can look back on it later tbh.
