Spoints...

In Craps, the player's cash is the game's currency. The fluctuation of this amount adds a great deal of stress and pleasure to the enjoyment of the game.

In WEGS, spoints are the game's currency. Each player starts with a certain number based on their scores. Spoints, which stands for spell points, are represented via poker chips in the game. Spoints are spent by the players whenever they want to do a special action (kinda like paying a fee). Spoints are also used to maximize a player's chance for success.

During the game, spoints are thrown into a central pot where they amass until the end of an encounter. You can tell how much an encounter meant to the players by the amount of chips at the end.

Spoints are one of the coolest mechanics in WEGS. They truly bring a Las Vegas game of chance feeling to the adventure. Plus these set a limit to how much a player can do - it prevents folks from doing everything all the time. It causes players to maintain the cautious edge in their heroic actions.

Unlike craps, once a players is out of spoints, they still continue to play. From that point forward, the player will be limited as to what they can do and/or how well they can do it.

So once they bust the spoint bank, the player's fate pretty much relies on the whim of the dice...
