It might not have; I just remember that it never mentioned what kind of dice it uses.

It's just something that always sticks out glaringly to me as an omission in game texts, especially when it's just as easy as adding the sentence "This game uses six-sided dice for all rolls." or whatever.

"six-sided dice" is a gamerism. I try to avoid it if at all possible. (Polaris doesn't use the term either. Now that I think about it, I don't know if Bliss Stage does.)

If I feel the need to specify for gamers, I say "this game uses the ordinary sort of dice you find in almost all board games." But usually I don't even say that.

Bliss Stage specifies fudge dice, and explains how to read (six sided) dice for the same effect.

Yes, I am a fanboy.
