Reducing Complexity
Threads of Lachesis
To decrease the number of Prompts:
- Consider dropping the summing of dice in each Act
- Use a d4 or d3 instead of a d6
- Omit Closing Prompts in favor of a final-die table. The player simply takes the final Act 3 dice number and uses it on the Closing table
- Reduce the number of dice in each Act
Examples of Reducing Complexity:
- If we drop the summing of dice and omit the Closing table in favor of the final-dice Ending Table, the number of needed Prompts drops to 15 Locations, 6 Events per location + 6 Endings = 96 Prompts.
- Add 2 additional Event tiers for duplicate numbers and you get 276 Prompts to write.
- Using a d4 instead of d6: 9 Locations, 8 Events per Location + 27 Endings = 99 Prompts
- Add 2 additional Event tiers for duplicate numbers and you get 243 Prompts
