Editorial policy

How a note is made here

Every page under this domain follows the same four stages. The policy is short on purpose: a reader should be able to hold the whole method in their head.

1. Drafting

Each note starts from a question a player at a table actually asks — usually a question with arithmetic inside it. The draft has to state the question before it states the answer. Notes are signed by the editorial desk; no individual is named until that person is assigned to the site and their details are recorded.

2. Arithmetic first, prose second

Every probability figure in a note is computed, not estimated. The working is shown so that a reader can repeat it with their own dice. Where a note borrows a rule from a published game, the rule is described in the note's own words and the reference work is listed at the foot of the note.

3. How AI is used

Language models are used for outlines, question lists, spelling, and phrasing suggestions. They are not used to produce numbers, to invent a rule, or to describe a game session that did not happen. Each draft records whether AI helped it, and a human editor re-reads and rewrites before anything leaves the desk.

4. Corrections

A substantive correction changes the note's updated date and adds a short line at the end saying what changed. The original wording stays visible in the change line rather than being quietly replaced.

5. What is never published here

• Content that promotes real-money play, or links to sites that do.
• Reviews of products the desk has not handled.
• Reproduced text or images from another site, or from this domain's earlier owner.
• Paid placement, gift-guide entries for sale, or link exchanges.
