Proposal: Speedboat

Replace the text

a publicly randomly selected minute between two and five days after the time at which that Timed Action was initiated (such as through the use of DICE4320 + 2880 in the roller).

in the subrule “Routes” with the text

a publicly randomly selected minute between one and three days after the time at which that Timed Action was initiated (such as through the use of DICE2880 + 1440 in the roller).

In the subrule “Types”, replace the description of the Speed Type with the following:

When Setting Sail with a Boat of this Type, a City may choose to randomly generate the Arrival Time of this Boat as though the phrase “between one and three days” in the subrule “Routes” was replaced with the phrase “between one and two days”.

To speed up the game, and hopefully draw more interest.

The dice roll for Set Sail, while mathematically sound, is a bit cumbersome. I wonder if we could instead come up with a different formula. I guess the rule itself only offers a suggestion and not a requirement to use a specific roll in the Dice Roller.

“Between 1 and 3 days” could be DICE2 for the days, DICE25-1 for hours, and DICE60-1 for minutes.

I like your idea for the dice rolls- thankfully the Dice2880+1440 isn’t mandatory, just suggested, so we can use your system instead!
