The randomness of the draw results appeals to my sense of realism. You just never know what you're going to encounter in real life. I found a chain of silver coins in a dump one time when I was a kid. All australian from the 1940s and connected by silver links. In a dump, in Indiana, in the 80s. What are the chances of that?.<BR/>I think it was Jeff Rients who put a bunch of random stuff on 3x5 cards for his first time players to draw from. I thought that was a great idea. Then the players can make up a reason for having it, gift from grandpa, found it in the road, thrown from a passing wagon, whatever. It adds to feeling of depth in the game. And then they fall in a pit and die. Next character!E.G.Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229893317543621720noreply@blogger.com
