Recently, I've been examining the
probabilities inherent in the Solar Echoes dice system, and the
numbers are where we want them for the most part. However, through
some of the games I've run at conventions, a few players have talked
about the feeling of the dice system and I have decided to make an
appendix entry in the Player's Guide. This entry will clarify the
actual chances for rolling certain numbers, detailed in percentages,
so it is easier for players to see what is going on behind the
mechanics of the system. In addition to this, I've also been reaching
out to a few people online to help with more complex aspects of our
dice system—I'm looking for experts in statistics. The Solar Echoes
dice system, like some gambling games, has a few hidden angles that
I'd like to bring to light for players looking to maximize their
understanding to make better tactical choices in the game. Standing
in the middle of the room while someone is shooting at you is not
wise--if players know their exact chances, I'm betting they'll be
keeping behind cover much more often!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
