    Yeah this is the opposite of “player agency” which is the whole point of RPGs.

      And now you know what it was like to be one of Lord Byron’s ladyfriends.

      Randomness is the opposite of player agency, yet is still a core part of most RPGs.

      This one pager has zero role playing though, and is barely a game. It is clever and funny as a concept though.

        I’d disagree with that. Randomness is orthogonal to player agency. Both can exist at once.
