What are the odds?

BURN 2d6 went from Adventure Seed tables with d6 choices to tables of 2d6 choices. That's when we need to consider the odds. In a random generation table based on a d6, the odds of any one number being rolled are equal, in which case order on the table does not matter. However, roll 2d6, add them up for a range of numbers from 2 to 12, and now you have a difference in rolling a 7 (the highest chance) versus a 2 or 12 with the lowest chance. So, now order matters. In a Pulp Era adventure, you probably shouldn't have Vampire or Sanitarium as your likeliest rolls.  So, I've reordered the tables to take the odds into account

2d6 chances

  • 2 = 2.77%
  • 3 = 5.55%
  • 4 = 8.33%
  • 5 = 11.11%
  • 6 = 13.88%
  • 7 = 16.66%
  • 8 = 13.88%
  • 9 = 11.11%
  • 10 = 8.33%
  • 11 = 5.55%
  • 12 = 2.77%
