The random event table is useful as a tool to establish what’s occurring “offstage” in the rest of the world, and the modified scene setup roll is a handy way to introducing the game’s built-in random encounters (substituting them for Mythic’s scene modification templates). The first two aren’t particularly necessary in Forbidden Lands, which does its own scene-setting, and players can be largely self-directed.
The emulator’s mechanics include additional rules for running scenes, maintaining plots and subplots, introducing random events, and modifying scene setups. The average likelihood and the chaos rating together determine the numerical percentage of a positive answer just roll d100 and compare the result to the table. To find out, a player asks a yes or no question, and each player chooses a degree of likelihood. (My group started out adjusting the value every quarter day, but that quickly stagnated daily adjustments have proven more robust.) The Y-axis’s increments are odds-degrees of probability that a given event will occur. The X-axis’s metric is the chaos rank, a measure of how out-of-control the overall situation is. Its collaborative and non-arbitrary approach to decision-making grants players the opportunity to collectively guide their own stories without directly determining the overall course of events.ĭecisions normally made by a GM are instead handled using a probability table.
