I read somewhere a while back either on Facebook or Reddit that people’s bone colored (D6) dice in Cursed City seem weighted towards failure.
Anecdotally, I agree. So I figured I’d do a small test to find out:
There are two successful results on the die, so 1/3 (33.33%) of the results should be successful.
I have four Cursed City bone dice and I rolled each 50 times. So if the dice are truly random, we’d expect to see 16.667 successes (50 x ⅓ = 16⅔).
Turns out they’re… spot on average. The average across the four dice is 16.25 successes. Just short of the 16.667 you’d statistically expect. However, I might reserve Die #1 for hostiles!
Keep in mind, 50 tests is a woefully small sample size.
Blank = Failure, 1 = Success, 2 = Critical Success
