There's no way to tell which are and are not self-contained without reading them all, though. Mind, admins will clean up any inconsistencies if your story does contradict previous entries, but it's nice on the writer's part to do that themselves.

The die is six-sided and by now all six sides have established "fates" associated with them--broad ones like "Discovery," "Fortune," "Health," etc. which leave a lot of room for play by the author. As a collaboration, there's a lot of intentional vagueness in order to leave room for this play, so that new authors can add to the lore. What's been established about the "ritual" is that, generally, a mysterious businessman sort of being usually approaches the victim and offers them a chance to change their life. They sign their name on a list and roll the die, and usually, their wish is corrupted in some unforeseen way.

A lot of the technicalities are also discussed on the article's Talk Page, so read that and post there if you still have questions. If something hasn't been decided yet, you're generally free to make the decision yourself. Alright, that explains a lot. So has the fourth been decided yet? I know Power was implied to be, and I think I'll use that in my story if that's fine.

... Is it? ;p
