    In Polish, the word for north is the word for noon. And the word for a castle can also mean a lock or a zipper. In other words, no relation whatsoever.

    Zamek (castle, zipper, lock), all essentially mean something that is closed off. A castle, like a fortress, is closed off.

    The noon north bit is, I assume, because the sun is Northwards during the noontime.

    That being said, we have like a thousand different word for "hat" if it makes you feel any better.

I hear that the last guy didn't take the loss too well, and threw himself off the roof of the court house. Of course, I use the word "threw" very lightly.

    Ok

    So what I am proposing is that Gambit is a game where everything is done with little to no stat relations. We make it as random as possible. I realize this won't appeal to most players but, when has anything /tg/'s done appealed to a wide audience?

    Anyway, I'm thinking we make a simple system where the players bet the DM. Like an earlier anon said they can bet HP to fight or something similar. Perhaps having a set number of luck chips per player to bet?

    Whatever the case I think chance-punk would benefit from a rules light system that reflects the world its made for

    Dammit, I should be sleeping by now. I think we could just make a simple card game, customisable decks in lieu of character creation, build from normal playing cards. Anyone who's played caravan in new vegas will know roughly what I mean.

    Do me a favour, get this archived under chancepunk or something?

    I am genuinely staggered it took me that long to realise. But yeah, the entire world is vault 21. I see no problem here.
