		<title>Thinking About Werewolves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been too long since I&#8217;ve properly re-introduced werewolves to Khallam.  My original conception of Khallam in the Old World of Darkness was very much in line with its relationship between werewolves and vampires.  With the new World of Darkness I can still go that route or shake it up and for the sake [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Vampire Devotion : Lithium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lithium (Institutionalize 2, Dominate 3)
[If you read my last post this one will seem awfully similar – it is basically the resolve equivalent to Sedation’s strength reduction.  Although much of the text and mechanics are the same it is the sensation that is so different and significant.  Many kindred would in fact seek an effect [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Vampire Devotion: Sedation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sedation (Institutionalize 2, Vigor 3)
Handling any patient is a challenge but modern pharmacology has coped with the needs of hospitals by creating a variety of barbiturates and muscle relaxers that aid in keeping a patient asleep or at least sedated.  Tragically, these same drugs do not work on kindred patients.  Dr. Opal Berke solved this [...]]]></description>

Look at the next 250 rolls.  The values certainly flattened out some though it didn&#8217;t invalidate the first set by a long shot.  If anything it underscored how small a sample even 500 really is.  I think we&#8217;re looking at doing 1,000 minimum at this point.  The possibility of three values [...]]]></description>

So, here are the first 250 rolls.  I had previously discussed doing a chi-square test for randomness but the more I thought about it I&#8217;m not sure it would help.  First of all the typical things you look for in chi-square don&#8217;t apply here, there aren&#8217;t multiple variables, etc&#8230; In other words I think it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are My Dice Good?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I thought about titling this post &#8220;I&#8217;m a geek.&#8221;  This isn&#8217;t a secret at this point even if I don&#8217;t have any impressive nerd arguments to brag about.  The thing is I&#8217;m several kinds of geeks as is fairly common and a tiny bit of a math and statistics geek so this post at [...]]]></description>

Now, I know the vampire content on this site might lead one to believe that I&#8217;m obsessed with vampire. I&#8217;m not.  I am very comfortable [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t really have an excuse.  The section on wastelands reads that if the Promethean leaves the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Princes and Hounds
If you were to ask the average kindred of Khallam, &#8220;who is the prince&#8221; you would probably get the reply, Byron, at least from those vampires familiar with the tradition of a Prince.  Khallam has no such position.  Instead it is ruled by three stewards, each of whom could make a claim to [...]]]></description>
