RPG Maker Forums

Hi all,
I have a curiosity I wonder if someone can divine for me:

In RPG Maker MV, I have an event with a conditional set up using 2 variables.
In separate event I define Var 0001 = 20
Then I have Var 0002 = a random integer 0 - 100.
The conditional is set up so that if Var 0001 > Var 0002, the event fails.

I noticed the event was succeeding a lot more often than 20% of the time, so I tested the event with Var 0001 set as 1, and then again set as 99. (Var 0002 remains random).

It seems that when I had Var 0001 = 1, I had a 99% chance of success, and at 99 I had a 1% chance.
It's not a problem, because I just reversed the sign to get the probability I want, I'm just really curious why "If 20 > Random(0-100)" gives me an 80% chance rather than 20%.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
