!!!If statement
If you only have three choices, just use an """<<if>>""" statement.

<<if _good>>\
Success: minimal complications.
<<elseif _mixed>>\
Success, but...
<<else>>\
The GM makes your life "interesting".
<</if>>\

----
!!!Inline Choices
If you have more than one possible result for each option, you can use """<<choices>>""" which are like cards, but only exist inside a single passage (so you can see them all at once, don't have to create a separate passage for each choice, etc.).

<<choices _results>>
	<<when>>sticky-card req-good
		<<offer>>Success: minimal complications.
	<<when>>sticky-card req-mixed
		<<offer>>Success, but...
	<<when>>sticky-card req-bad
		<<offer>>The GM makes your life "interesting".
	<<when>>sticky-card req-good req-MenaceClock-startingAt-1800 important
		<<offer>>
		Success, but the threat level is already high, so...
>{{{important}}} guarantees that when this is available, it will be chosen before the default. Leaving this tag out would make it be chosen at the same frequency as other available choices. I wanted to keep things simple, so I only implemented three priority levels: normal, important, and urgent. So you have a little bit of priority control, but you can't *keep* stacking these up.
<</choices>>\
<<includeall `QBN.filter(_results, 1)`>>

----
!!!Storylet Passages
If you have generic as well as specific responses, you can use separate passages as storylets for the choices, and use a unique event identifier to select the ones that are specific to this event.

<<set _uniqueEventID to true>>\
<<set _choices to QBN.cards(1)>>\
/% Remember to unset it so it won't affect any other selections on the same page. %/\
<<unset _uniqueEventID>>\
<<includeall _choices>>


::Event success [sticky-card req-uniqueEventID req-good]
Success: minimal complications.

::Event mixed results [sticky-card req-uniqueEventID req-mixed]
Success, but...

::Event bad result [sticky-card req-uniqueEventID req-bad]
The GM makes your life "interesting".

::Generic bad result [sticky-card req-bad]
Generic "something bad happens" result...
>Note that this storylet doesn't have an {{{important}}} or {{{urgent}}} tag, so sometimes you'll get this and sometimes you'll get the event-specific one.

Usage: <<roll $stat mixed=7 good=10>>
	(mixed and good thresholds are optional)

Result: sets one of _bad or _mixed or _good to true.

Note that 2d6 is NOT the same as a d12: for instance you are six times
more likely to roll a 7 than a 12. Trivia: the more dice you roll and
add together, the closer the probability is to a Gaussian bell curve.
