[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9846048, member: 7024481"] Well if it works for the table then great. But you are trying to get the non gamblers at the table to gamble. If that's the only problem then you need to figure out what thier level of risk is. You might need to throw better rewards, you might need to have different tables with different levels of risk. In that scenario I'd try to have tables of various risk reward levels and let the players roll on the appropriate table based on the risk level they choose. Think of it like a casino. One player might want to play craps or roullete and risk it all for a big reward. Another might be happy with slot machines and margherita's. But I still would suggest if you want carousing you can have a lot more fun turning that point of the game into part of the game. I've always been amazed that players sometimes have more fun in little adventures in town with the most minor consequences than they do killing the dragon and saving the world. Your tables of outcomes are half the work already. make a bunch of npc's or buy a book of npc's and generating npc encounters isn't any harder than monster encounters. Its not any more work than generating dungeons or other encounters, once you get through a couple and get comfortable with it. [/QUOTE]
