- Treasure Hunter CYOA
- There are two relevant statistics:
- SUCCESS RATE: The chance that you will be able to find and acquire the treasure.
- SURVIVAL RATE: The chance that you will make it out of this expedition alive.
- Ideally, you'll want to both SUCCEED and SURVIVE.
- If you SUCCEED but don't SURVIVE, you will be posthumously famous and forever immortalized in the history books.
- Some member of your party will have survived and kept the reward for him or herself.
- If you SURVIVE but don't SUCCEED, you probably won't have a chance to treasure hunt again. At least you've made
- some great memories and some valuable friends.
