Actually, we've played a bunch of sessions now, as well as two of the
One-Shots, and I think we have had a total of two, perhaps three,
matches (or whatever they are called, where the two dice read the same
number). We had or first in a long time this week and the realization
really struck me.

On a related note. Other BOHICAs, do people consider the value of a
failed roll when considering its implications? I mean, in initiative a
high failed roll is better than a low one, which sort of implies that
the worst non-special result is 1% above your skill, and the best
non-special failed result is 99 or 98. Anyone else see things this way?

Our initial impressions have always been on the order of "lower is
better", so a < 05 roll sounds like its really good. But the game is
more set up so that a high roll is best, and we have been slowly getting
used to that. Its been fun watching players decide not to use the set of
dice that works so well with other %ile systems because it seems to roll
more <10% rolls than you'd expect...

Take care,

Liam
