Characters have 17 skills, each starting at 20% (a basic human-level chance to succeed).</p><p>Players get 10 "pips" which they can assign to boost skills of their choosing. Each pip adds +20% to their window of success, with a maximum of 3 additional PIPs per skill (success window is capped at 80%).</p><p>To do something, players roll a d100. If they roll equal to or under their skill level, they succeed.</p><p></p><p>DISCLAIMERS</p><p>All characters, events, and organisations in The Bad Articles are entirely fictional.</p><p>No AI has been used in the creation of the show.</p><p></p><p></p><p>CONTENT WARNING</p><p>While the tone of the show is light-hearted and comedic, it contains references to lost children, as well as scenes featuring mild horror elements and light gore sound effects.</p><p>Listener discretion is advised, especially for those sensitive to depictions or sounds of injury (misophonia).</p>
