==On Demanding Random Numbers==
Very often, this document suggests that you put the players on the spot and demand a random number from them between 1 and 100. If you only ever do this to make them choose what kind of Terrible Things are going to happen to them, they’ll quickly learn to start lowballing their numbers.


To counteract this, and make demanding random numbers from your players more interesting rather than purely punitive, it is suggested that you mix random numbers demanded for which are plugged into the random events tables, with random windfalls of Thrones or Thrones-worth of equipment, especially if you preface this with a die roll and then multiply the player’s number by the result of that die. You may even wish to demand another player flip a coin during this, and consider multiplying the result by an additional 2 if if comes up tails.


This will put the players in the position of choosing between their greed an survival instinct - a potential random windfall of 2,000 Thrones is certainly nothing to turn one’s nose up at! But is it worth the risk of saying “One Hundred” and getting a Daemonhost to deal with?
