This is a system that’s been getting discussed for a while. It’s a resolution system designed to be used for systems such as New World of Darkness in a LARP environment. You start with a full deck of playing cards (standard 52-card deck + the jokers [hence 54]). You then follow the below pseudo-code.
$dicepool = calculate_dice_pool($your_sheet); $successes = 0; $cards = draw_cards(3); foreach ($cards as $card) { if (is_number_card($card)) { $temp_dp = $dicepool; while ($temp_dp > 10) { $temp_dp = $temp_dp - 10; $successes = $successes + 1; } if ($temp_dp >= $card->$value) { $successes = $successes + 1; } } else if (is_joker($card)) { $new_cards = draw_cards(2); $cards = $cards + $new_cards; } else { // failure } }
It’s not so difficult to understand.
