[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 4687176, member: 31216"] Is high randomness, convoluted randomness, random randomness good design for an RPG system? Does high randomness make an RPG more fun? For instance, instead of a set 10% chance for something, is it better to roll 1d20 to see what the percentage chance is (and then roll the d%)? Is it good to have a series of charts where rolling on one determines the next chart to roll on? Is it fun to have a system where a result can be from fantastic to terrible (like "character gains a level" to "character dies") -- like drawing from a [i]deck of many things[/i]? If rolling randomly (straight, no drops or rerolls) for ability scores and hit points is good, is rolling for starting level even better? Is a randomly generated dungeon -- random rooms, corridors, monsters, treasure -- more fun than one put together with a plan? Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
