I used to Monte Carlo simulations to help a mate out with probabilities on his card-draw mechanics. Using science to make systems more robust for the win! 😁

I'd expand and say asking for rolls that aren't need in a variety of skills, abilities, etc.

The Hunger mechanic and some other new rules from V5 definitely make it worth checking out even for veteran Vampire gamers. 🦇

My Vaesen Carpathian books have turned up in time for my birthday, which is nice. If only I didn't have to work today. 😁

Anyone wishing to similarly buy me and themselves a present might wish to grab one of my scenarios off Drivethru - win win for us both 🎂

A few weeks ago I go to play in this short one shot of Ex Tenebris with @evilgaz.bsky.social and @burnafterrunning.bsky.social (two of my favourite people to play with). It was a blast and you should definitely check it out.

I frequently play not-D&D rpgs in a Schloss for 10% of that. Please adjust the price by 20c accordingly. 😁

Yes, I thought that might be relevant to your tastes. 😁

I forget which edition of L5R it was, maybe 4e, that had some fun tables for things that happen to your samurai (knight) during a battle. Easily transferable or usable as inspiration for Pendragon.

Hilariously, those rules didn't give you a method for working out who actually won the battle. 😆

Haha, yeah. Limited fun very slowly, over long periods of time 😆
