(Pulled from my showman rework that flopped)
Museum (Uncommon)
Uncommon and Rare Jokers become 15% more likely to appear.
(Common = 40%, Uncommon = 40%, Rare = 20%)

#

with all the drama aside i think this is interesting but the % in the description feels a bit weird to me

#

i'm all for that transparency but at the same time it does sacrifice a lot of consistency in joker descriptions

#

sorry about the rework thread

wild isle Jul 20, 2025, 3:40 AM

#

naw you're all good

shell zenith Jul 20, 2025, 3:40 AM

#

would the percentage be better as a fraction

wild isle Jul 20, 2025, 3:42 AM

#

potentially? that would suggest oa6 synergy which could be overpowered

shell zenith Jul 20, 2025, 3:43 AM

#

ah hell I'll just leave it i don't feel like thinking

wild isle potentially? that would suggest oa6 synergy which could be overpowered

Wouldn’t really be oa6 synergy so much as getting broken by oa6
The 2/5 + 2/5 + 1/5 would become 4/5 + 4/5 + 2/5 which is over 100%

#

So the percentages are better and clearer

wild isle Jul 20, 2025, 4:13 AM

#

true

shell zenith Jul 20, 2025, 4:13 AM

#

it wouldn't be oa6 synergy because its fractional and not odds

#

odds have the word "in"

wild isle Jul 20, 2025, 4:14 AM

#

also true actually yeah

ornate oasis Jul 20, 2025, 4:14 AM

#

I’d rather it say twice or three times more likely rather than percentages

wild isle Jul 20, 2025, 4:14 AM

#

yeah for sure

scenic galleon Jul 20, 2025, 4:14 AM

#

Regardless of what wording you end up going with this would be fine

#

Fun*

#

Tho I dunno if this would be better as a voucher

scenic galleon Tho I dunno if this would be better as a voucher

i like having it as a joker because it makes for interesting decisions about how long you want to hold on to it for, whether it's worth swapping out a value generator, etc

#

the decision tree for the voucher version would essentially be "do i have $35?"

#

ornate oasis I’d rather it say twice or three times more likely rather than percentages

The issue is that at 3x, it becomes (10/75/15) and at 2x it's (40/50/10) which both feel kinda weird IMO

queen fable Jul 20, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

there's an established solution: "lying"

hone says that foil, holographic, and polychrome cards appear 2x as often but in reality polychrome is 3x as likely

#

illusion doesn't give seals at all

tarot and planet merchant/tycoon have a larger effect than you might expect (weights go from 4 to 9.6 to 32, rather than from 4 to 8 to 16)

lying is evil

illusion is a bug according to the wiki

#

scenic galleon illusion is a bug according to the wiki

it's not really a bug, there's just no code that would add seals

#

they just forgot to add the feature

vast tundra Jul 21, 2025, 12:42 AM

#

They forgot because even they don't use illusion
