Customize it in seconds
Click Edit to tailor the list to your group or story world. You can also:
- Adjust weights to make certain dynamics more (or less) likely
- Turn on elimination mode to avoid repeats during rounds
- Share a custom URL so everyone uses the same setup
Make it fair (or intentionally chaotic)
Keeping weights equal makes every item equally likely. Want a more focused session? Increase weights for the few dynamics you want to explore more often, or use elimination mode to ensure you cover a wider range.
