Really, that was a great read, and I might just have to try that roll of the dice bit. It does seem to make the story interesting. Only, I may do something with a reverse time and a coin flip on whether to change the outcome of certain major canon events (even though I'll still do them dif, the outcome will still be relatively the same).
