    It's actually quite obvious: find an online flash game based on manual skill of some kind and use that arbitrary-out-of-game component to replace the Jenga one.

    Dread has much "out of game" player skill as Dungeons & Dragons

    except the difference is that out-of-game skill comes up in Dread during conflict resolution only

    whereas for D&D it occurs in character creation/leveling up and then has an impact on all other conflict resolution

    if you don't think that "player skill" is a significant difference maker in D&D i don't know who you are playing D&D with

    Jenga is also not a "arbitrary" system of conflict resolution in a RPG. Coin flips are arbitrary. An un-modified dice roll is arbitrary.

    each success has a direct impact on future success possibility (which has a huge impact on game pacing) and there's both skill and the emotional state of the player involved (Choco, at one point, had to take a deep breath before making a pull because he was so nervous his hands were a little shakey)

    Well that was an entire fucking waste of my fucking time. Provincial graduate funding application only considers an undergraduate's marks in 2nd & 3rd year, with the cutoff completely before 4th year. Because apparently 4th year is completely irrelevant or some bullshit.

    Wait you just did a year of classes that don't transfer?

    No i think his good grades in 4th year aren't gonna be considered for some funding application.

    This, essentially. Well, probable good grades anyway, but I'm not seeing a problem with achieving those. Yet this if a kick in the fucking pants.
