+# Arbitrary Decisions
+
+## Equipment
+
+- recording method (optional)
+    - notepad
+	- phone notes
+    - audio recorder
+- dice set
+    - d4
+	- d6
+	- d8
+- coin
+
+## Mechanics
+
+- enumerate choices
+    - record for re-use (optional)
+- layout encodings for appropriate dice or coin equipment
+- roll die or flip coin required number of times
+- record value or remember it
+- lookup value in list
+- perform action
+
+## Notes / Misc
+
+- meal plan
+- who / what / where / when / why / how
+- truth / dare / lie
+- sex / kink
+- random selections
+- which game to play
+- anything 'low risk'
+- dinner
+- movie
+- clothes
+- activity
+- timer interval
+- list and number options
+- roll dice / flip coin
+- select mapped choice
+- see arbitrary selection mechanic
+- try to keep list trim and focused
+   - need play tests to figure out if there is any kind of 'reasonable' upper bound
+- run multiple times if layered
+   - dinner
+    - takeout
+    - cook
+    - fancy sit down place
+  - run again for follow on if desired
+    - what to get for takeout
+	- what to cook for dinner
+- can stack multiple times but keep it from creeping
+    - need play testing to find 'too many layers' point
+- this whole paradigm can easily defer most, if not all of life to dice rolling
+     - do not give your life over to dice
+- keep list of options if using regularly for meal plans or similar
+- can help add variety if dealing with outside constraints that limit options like what food you can eat or which take out stores are safe food for those with allergies
+- food as 'expanded' game example
+    - ethos of adding variety to a constrained set of options
+    - how can ed/stomach/intestine folk leverage this ; use expanded form as example here
+- 'mindfulness, the game' uses this rubrick and was the catalyst for developing this game
+- commercial offerings for 'date night' and similar can give ideas
+- disability: if you can spare the brainpower: developing lists of regular, constrained choices you encounter in daily life can be used with this game to add variety and a sense of non episodic engagement
+    - above needs rewrite
+    - the game can scale to any dice or coin flip series so meal prep, meal plan, ingredient selection for 'random dinner' are good candidates for list development
+    - youre really running a flow chart and rolling a die or flipping a coin to pick which path to follow at each node/level of the graph/tree
+- 'i just dont want to pick' ; this game is a direct response to such moods and thoughts
+    - 'it doesnt really matter, just pick' is also a good candidate for this game
+- food can be a major trigger
+    - find alternative as focus of game documents
+    - keep food as dedicated area
+    - dont remove, redirect primary focus and keep info
+- template lists -- figure this out eventually
+- include optional mechanic for free roll and 'you choose' (see mindfulness for verbiage to use)
+    - can help with dice that have more sides than options
+    - show d3 and d8 ways to pull this off
+    - show how to run this with coin flips
+- 3 forms like mindfulness game
+- pandoc + make like mindfulness
+- decision ideas
+    - art supply selection (color / medium / subject / etc)
+	- magic 8 ball prompts
+	- travel
+	- campground
+	- destination
+	- travel 'stuff' -> 'local choices all sound good, where to start/go/etc'
+	- weekend outing
+	- day tripping
+	- order of operations
+	    - what order of sights to see
+		- @ comicon, order of visiting venders/celebs
+	- pretty much anything related to food
+	- pretty much anything related to entertainment
+	- pretty much anything related to romance / sex / kink
+- be clear 'low risk' and such
+    - there should never be a traumatic option or opportunity to be traumatized present
+	- the risk of injury should be low and at worst 'stubbed toe' level of injury
+	- relative risk and real risk for each option should be as similar as possible -> no option is 'worse' than others
+- before applying this game to any low risk health management decisions, talk to your provider to ensure the game will not have unintended consequences upon your health
+    - notably food/eating
+- note how creator uses the game to help themselves
+- include mindfulness game question prompts as a template choice list
