Default Re: Big Problem - Unbalanced random events

Hey, Lintman, check the math.

If you lost $150 in each of 5 games, and won $50 in each of 5 games, you'd have lost $500 total, not $750.

The only way you'd come out with $750 lost overall is if you won $50 in each of 5 games, and lost $150 _more_ (in terms of absolute magnitude) in each of 5 games, i.e. you won $50 5 times, but lost $200 5 times.

Also, I'm going to start testing and taking note of a bunch of different luck scales and the testing of what happens where in my games, to try and get a possible track on what's happening.

Also, one Last note, with only 3 events possible, you might want to take the Lady of Fortune pretender with misfortune, if she triggers before normal event checks, as she would cut down on the number of bad events.

Just a neophyte's observations.

Wyatt
