Yup. Generally, the last calculation is (product of failure rates of all previous dice) * (success rate of the current die) * 100%.

The 51% figure is correct for at least one die landing on 8, 9, or 10. Failure requires both dice rolling 1-7, which is a 7x7 subgrid of the 10x10 grid of all results, or 49%. So success for getting at least one 8, 9, or 10 ends up at 51%.

A picture of a 3-inch anti-generative AI rainbow holographic sticker with a formline design on it. The design has a black border with sparkles lining it. Text within the border reads “you cannot automate the human experience.” The formline design depicts a decapitated robot head with vacant eyes. Next to it are two ravens, with one raven perched on the head with a piece of the robot’s antenna in its beak.

Ok, so I dropped this one like it was self explanatory, and that may have been a jerk move, since it's almost certainly not. So, put on your thread boots - let's talk about D&D, cognitive load, predictability, turn taking, and whatever other nonsense I stumble across along the way.

Earlier this evening, I was chatting with Nat Barmore, my co-designer on Dread, and he dug up a 27 year old file containing the original dice mechanics for the game. These were to be used alongside the Jenga tower and we never played with them. We just never needed them.

Every game I’ve made has just been a stepping stone to The Lands Remaining, from both a creative and business standpoint. TLR is what I will be remembered for, and it will absolutely eclipse the success of Brindlewood Bay and Public Access. This isn’t hyperbole or hubris. It’s just… true.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

To those who didn't know (like me), Mixam has a new "Add bundling" option when placing an order. Easy to miss if you're doing a re-order. If you don't add bundling, the games might be loose in the box, and you might be dealing with 1/3 of your copies arriving damaged (also like me).

Hundreds of copies of Anamnesis separated into piles on the floor. The piles have labeled sticky notes in front of them that describe the damage.

It's true that anyone can play your game any which way once they get their hands on it. What do you owe in thoughtful design, and clear explanation to people playing in good faith who have no idea how to play it? The choice about how you think about that agency builds the underlying relationship

Assuming "everyone knows how to run an RPG" will get you in trouble. Document your assumptions, for sanity's sake. The rest of this excellent thread is well worth your attention, by the bye.
