  • Lowering the die you roll with to check out whether the depletable resource, well, depletes, raises the tension while you ate deep-deep in the dungeon.

    Imagine that like you buy a top-notch torch, butvit eventualy burns out. You don’t have to throwcawayvthe rest of the torch, but keep it for later use, when you have no fine torch left.

    Otherwise you may introduce torch tokens, which are removed from your character sheet when you roll 1 on d6. You’d roll only d6s for this burnout check, so every torch has the same chance to burn out. Moreover, you could then introduce d4 for candles and d8 for lanterns.

    Or get inspired in Shadowdark RPG where the torches are tied to real-life timers.
