#TTRPG #TTRPGs #TTRPGSky #OnyxPath On account of all the d10 shenanin' I've been agin, I had an itch to pull out my Trinity Continuum books, which made me wonder if they had a third party creator arrangement. TIL apparently they do as of 2024 it looks like? www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Hello #TTRPG folks! Are you looking for something a little spooooooky to run for your group this month? I got you covered! A thread:

Yes! Ultimately what I was trying to distill it down to, an underlying formula; & now it's becoming more clear that approaching from the fail states makes sense. I taught middle school math in a former life & even focused on probs to hopefully make things a little more interesting for the kids...😵‍💫🤯

If I were to increase the number of dice to 3, would it then be 30+21+(.7*.7*.3) = 30+21+14.7 = 65.7 ?

Ah yes but if I had used the online probability calculators I wouldn't have delved into the how/why to the same degree. I'm not 100% there yet but now I can go for the calculators once I start getting into higher number territory.

I'm familiar with anydice. I was (a) trying to understand it myself with my own brain first, and (b) I wasn't sure how to script it to get what I was looking for, so I'd skipped it for the time being; thanks for sharing and contributing!

If you're serious about game development or design, PLAY OLD GAMES I can't overstate how many good ideas are sitting there waiting to be discovered. Sometimes it's not even stuff that was there at the time, it's only there now looking from a modern perspective.

It's much easier once everyone has explained it, which was my objective all along (to get mathier people to help me realize that my approach was flawed) but it didn't start out that easy. One person's easy isn't the same as another's.

Okay but the win condition is met as soon as I roll the 8-10 on one of the two dice? So what I roll on the second die is irrelevant?
200
Craig aka Tezrak @tezrak.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I can see a justification for it but it's still wrong.
110
Craig aka Tezrak @tezrak.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
The two dice constitute independent events. What I roll on one doesn't impact what I roll on the other. If it's *at least* one 8-10 result, then if anything it should be 3/10 (8-10) * 10/10 (1-10) ... Which brings us back to 30%.

Craig aka Tezrak @tezrak.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
That's incorrect. 8-10 is three outcomes, meaning it's a 3/10 or 30% probability. And I don't need AI to do my thinking for me.

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.
The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard. 

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted 

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang
