Futurama had a great joke - Gary was being introduced and he said “Hello there it’s a” rolls dice “pleasure to meet you!”
That is awesome
Do I have the book for you:
Shit. That’s a great idea.
Yeah I’ve actually been doing that for awhile for certain things. It’s worked well so far, surprisingly.
I’d be interested to know more. How do you determine if you pass the check? Just 11 and up is a pass?
I generally have pass of 15+, since the decisions I do this for can potentially hurt in different ways (mostly financially, as in “should I buy this thing?”). So I’ll do a best 2 out of 3 to see if I’ll do the thing vs not.
Like I said, so far it’s worked out fine.
I just did this and it told me to buy a new video card on my credit card regardless of how much I cant afford it.
I… I think this is too dangerous a power for me.
I’m kidding of course. If you can’t afford it, don’t do it!
I know i shouldnt, but one of the rolls was a 20…
Thanks!
D20 flat roll seems like a lot, I’m thinking he needed his pluses sorted and then reaction rolls with varying DC based on circumstance.
I actually use a dice (D6, 50:50 choice usually) to decide between two options sometimes.
The idea is to fool my brain into revealing what it really wants. Like, if I can’t decide, I’ll assign each choice odds or evens, then roll.
If I’m OK with the result, then it decided for me no problem. Maybe I didn’t care, maybe I preferred what I rolled.
If I don’t like it, then RNG just showed me what I really wanted – now I can go with the other option.
Reduces decision fatigue, and speeds up my life. I’ve been teaching it to my kids (although their favourite RNG is the Chwazi app.)
