Do disasters and raids sometimes strike twice in a row with no time to recover?

Random events feel fair on average, yet two bad ones within seconds feel like an insult. This entry shows how to look at the gaps between crises, rather than their number, to find the unfair clusters your random draw produces.

Why this works

Chance clumps. Even a fair average rate of random events puts some close together, and the player feels those pairs far more than the average. Looking at the gaps, not the rate, finds the stretches where recovery was impossible.

When not to use it

Don't spread events out when pressure is the point, like a survival game or a wave that should overwhelm. Guaranteed calm there removes the tension. Tune how hard each event hits instead of how far apart they are.
