Though most people just roll a d6 and say 1-2 is 1, 3-4 is 2, 5-6 is 3. Or 1&4 = 1, 2&5=2, 3&6=3.
Or they roll a d4 and reroll any 4.

Dude, you've got like, three different accents in there... just pick one and be done with it!

That said, yes just take a d6 and cut the result in half.

EDIT: It should be noted that though use of a d6 as proxy for a d3 is infinetly simpler, you get "awesome points" for actually using the d3!
