Dice Man (Comic Book) | comment |
Dice Man is a short-lived Gamebook comic spinoff of 2000 AD. It ran for just five issues but featured many famous characters from the comics including Judge Dredd, Nemesis the Warlock, Rogue Trooper and Sláine as well as the original character Rick Fortune, the eponymous "Dice Man" of the title — a psychic Hard Boiled Detective with a pair of magical dice that can grant him supernatural powers. The last issue featured a parodic adventure of Ronald Reagan.The series consists of five issues. Issue 1 – Three adventures – Judge Dredd in House of Death, Nemesis the Warlock in The Torture Tube and Sláine in Cauldron of Blood Issue 2 – Three adventures – Hammerstein of the ABC Warriors in Volgo The Ultimate Death Machine, Rick Fortune in In The Bronx, No-one Can Hear You Scream! and Sláine in Dragoncorpse Issue 3 – Three adventures – Torquemada from Nemesis the Warlock in The Garden of Alien Delights, Rick Fortune in Dark Powers and Rogue Trooper in Killothon Issue 4 – Two adventures – Sláine in The Ring of Danu and Rick Fortune in Bitter Streets Issue 5 – Three adventures – Rogue Trooper in Space Zombies, Rick Fortune in Murder One and Ronald Reagan in Twilight's Last Gleaming!Some of the stories would later be featured as bonus content in anthologies featuring the the characters in question. A year after the series came to its premature end the writers of Twilight's Last Gleaming! would publish the similar You Are Maggie Thatcher – A Dole-Playing Game in book form but the format has not been revisited since.Not related to the 1971 novel The Dice Man | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
Dice Man (Comic Book) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: Almost true in Twilight's Last Gleaming! — it's extremely hard to keep Reagan's Popularity rating high enough and his Sanity Meter low enough to avoid being executed as an imposter while simultaneously keeping the International Tension rating low enough to avoid nuclear armageddon as actions that increase popularity and/or reduce sanity tend to increase tension and vice versa. It's also impossible to save all three members of the clone family in Space Zombies — one or two of them (depending on your choices) will always die. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
Dice Man (Comic Book) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: Issue 3 shows Rick Fortune, Torquemada and Rogue Trooper back to back surrounded by weapons aimed at them but there is no crossover in the stories inside, which is understandable. It's unlikely that Rick Fortune (who opposed Nazis) would have much truck with the facist Torquemada and Torquemada would most likely have considered Rogue an impure deviant due to genetic alterations he has while Rogue for his part hates corrupt authority figures. While Rick and Rogue could conceivably be on the same side, their vastly different life experiences not to mention the huge temporal gulf (Rick being a 1930s private investigator while Rogue is a supersoldier from the far future) would make such a pairing fraught to say the least. Issue 4 shows Astragal wearing a suit and hat and firing a tommy gun — he does neither in the adventure inside. | |

Off with His Head!: Failing to deal with the "saw-jaw" when you first encounter it in Killothon will come back to bite you later in the adventure — it brings down a bridge you are on then beheads you while you lay helpless after breaking your back in the fall. Also Volgo can bite Hammerstein's head off in Volgo The Ultimate Death Machine. It's also how you deal with Judge Fear in House of Death, kicking him down the stairs to be decaptitated by a tripwire activated blade. Rick Fortune can also meet this fate courtesy of a ceiling fan in Murder One if his strength is too low. | |

Immune to Bullets: Judge Mortis in House of Death can't be stopped by standard rounds. Dredd deals with the problem by switching to high explosive shells. Later in the adventure Judge Fire is immune to all Dredd's bullet types. Some of the enemies Rick Fortune has to deal with can't be hurt by bullets either and neither can Astragal the three headed demon as some unfortunate gangsters may discover depending on die rolls. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
Dice Man (Comic Book) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Judge Death can do this to you in House of Death, either automatically or by random dice roll depending on how well you are doing in the adventure at that point. | |

The Many Deaths of You: As standard for Gamebook-type games there are MANY ways to die in all the games. | |

Sanity Meter | |
Dice Man (Comic Book) / int_b351b856 | comment |
Sanity Meter: Rick Fortune has one in all his adventures as does a secondary character in one. Ronald Reagan has one too with the twist that having it falling to zero or below doesn't end the game. Rogue Trooper has a variation — if your "hero points" are too low at a certain point in Space Zombies you snap under the strain and die gruesomely at the hands of your zombiefied former friend. | |

Alien Geometries | |
Dice Man (Comic Book) / int_b3bdf232 | comment |
Alien Geometries: The demon Astragal in Rick Fortune's adventures has six faces, but you can only ever see three of them, the same as a die (dice). Wotan's Spear, an artifact in Dark Powers, shows impossible angles to other dimensions within it's crystal structure. | |

Your Head A-Splode: If you fail to gain control of Astragal in Bitter Streets in the final confrontation, your only option is to chuck a grenade into his mouth and blow his head up from the inside out. If you don't have a grenade at this point... | |

Our Dwarves Are Different: Sláine's sidekick Ukko is based on older legends of dwarves than the Tolkien types. He isn't bearded and wouldn't know honor if it came up and bit him, being a seedy and unpleasant thief. | |
