I'd still vote for using d6's, since they are readily available and
have a better "feel" to them physically and intuitively.

I've always been partial to the simpler ideas, and to me the original
idea of 2d6 is more elegant and simple.

Besides, *my* simple game uses 6 sided dice only... :-)

Though as it turns out I am having real trouble making up a simple
combat system that goes with my mechanic.  I may have to scrap it and
just use FUDGE.  :-)
