Join the intrepid paladins of SideQuests, Podcast Rob and Eli, as they reunite with Paladin Tucker for a deep dive into the intricate world of game mechanics. In this episode, they dissect what makes a good system truly exceptional. From the fundamental principles of resolution methods to the nuances of dice mechanics, they explore the backbone of gaming systems. Whether it's rolling under, rolling over, employing dice pools, or even drawing cards, each mechanic plays a crucial role in shaping the player experience.
Delving into the "math of fun," they unravel the concept of success probabilities and the sweet spot of achieving success on an average difficulty task 70% of the time. But how much do these probabilities truly matter? And how do they vary based on the type of game being played? The trio engages in a lively discussion, pondering the differences between theorycrafting with formulas and experiencing gameplay firsthand at the table.
