Re: [RPG]: Dread, reviewed by jamesh (4/4)

Have to admit, I would hate the tower myself, but it sounds to me that if you don’t like the tower mechanic (and I don’t know anyone who owns Jenga myself) it wouldn’t be hard to replace it with a dice mechanism. An exploding d6 roll instead of a block, the roll adds to a single running number total (the tower), when the total hits an appropriate total, the tower topples.
Otherwise, I love the mechanism for the genre. Sounds very cool.
