mostly you are a person and you do person stuff
but you are also a special person who's a robot or a mushroom or something, because that's fun
so sometimes you want to do robot mushroom stuff and that's fine too but i don't want you to do robot mushrooms stuff all the time, i want you to do person stuff mostly
so you get to do robot mushrooms stuff for free once a session
then the next time you have a 5/6 chance to do the stuff, then the next time its a 4/6 chance and so on
the player tracks their odds (writes FROG STUFF 6-in-6) and if they
succeed a frog thing their odds go down, but not to under 1-in-6.
Elegant.
