On rare successes

Ridiculus Undarke Posts: 48 6/4/2014	There are many of them throughout the game, but does someone know how many storylets, speaking in relative terms, do have one? All? Majority? Around half of them, perhaps? Not so many? There are some stories which can be played only once (without spending Nex) - do they have a rare success result? And what is the estimated probability of one? 10%? 5%? Even less? -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Ridiculus

Probability is unique to each one I believe -- some are very common, some are incredibly rare. There is at least one- one of the Loquacious Vicar options pays out a Dreadful Surmise sometimes instead of the usual reward of scraps and extraordinary implications, but it can only be played once. And, yeah, the probability depends on the storylet, it's not a universal thing. Some things have pretty much 50-50 odds (like supplies and whispered secrets) while others are really rare, like 4-5% or less. -- my rats will blot out the sun Ratgames FL lore/mechanics questions and answers #FallenLondon IRC (irc.synirc.net) Channel!
