US entry roll numbers

Post by Courtenay »

Page 190 of volume 2 of the player's manual tells how many of each sort of US entry chit there are each year.

However, the US entry roll is out of the total number of chits for that year, and it is not always obvious what the result will be just looking at that number. So I made this little chart for what die rolls correspond to what chits. The first column is the US entry chit value, the second is the number of chits of that value (taken from the player manual), and the third column is the maximum number for that value chit. (Remember that MWiF counts starting at zero, not 1.)

At the end of each year is the average chit value for that year, taken from the Player's Manual.

Of course, MWiF will tell you what you rolled on the next window after you click on the die roll window, but sometimes I would like to know how close I was to getting the next higher or lower number.
