I am a mathematician with a passion for RPGs (and I am writing my own, think Dungeon World with a side of wargame).

I read in the weekly post someone lamenting the fact that there is no good book explaining the statistics behind various dice mechanics, and I have the expertise necessary to write that book. I just want to know if there's demand.

This is the structure I envision:

• Introduction, basic probabilities and how to calculate them
• Example: the classic DnD d20 mod roll-above
• A short discussion of how probabilities translate to game feel
• Analysis of a few representative mechanics: PbtA's 2d6, Call of Cthulhu's d100 and Fate's 4dF and why they're fundamentally the same as d20
• Dice pool systems, with roll many and count successes
• Custom dice: the Genesys system
• Some self-important conclusion about how RPGs are really just a sophisticated version of Yahtzee

Does this interest you? What other dice mechanics should this book cover? What else should it talk about?
