And while they wait for the next month, the campaign world moves on - and of course people WILL try to steal it from them.As an example I used a Deck of Many Things in my game - there is only one Deck in my world and it appears only once per year during the 5 unlucky days in a random location. It so happened that during this particular year, it appeared in the same country, the same village as the PCs. I decided to stick with my randomised determination and let them at it.My wife was one of the players. Ever since I've RPG'ed with her, she has NEVER and I stress NEVER drawn badly from a Deck of Many Things and she's encountered 5 all up. Everytime she draws three cards (her favourite number) and every time she's gained - treasure, land, XP, items, wishes, whatever is good. Other party members have suffered miserably.Why mention this? Because your box could end up behaving like the Deck in my world. One player just happens to be the luckiest person in the world.D</blockquote>
