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
