Granted D&D has, often, some random generation, but that still is 'randomly choose one of the things I decided on', which is pretty thin. I think it mostly serves to disclaim responsibility, and it is fun! I would point out that a GM in D&D is perfectly within their rights to eschew any random roll at all. A TB GM is also perfectly within their rights to create a random encounter table! The nature of play will not in either of those cases change drastically, and in all of the above cases the GM is ultimately the source of the decision "what is the threat?"</p></blockquote><p></p>
